These OnePlus 13 renders could be our first look at new design Chris Mendez | usagoldmines.com

October is shaping as much as be a giant month for OnePlus. We simply noticed the corporate share its plans for the launch of Oxygen OS 15, and on the {hardware} aspect the OnePlus 13 ought to be proper across the nook. Whereas we’re anticipating the telephone to its debut shortly (at the least in China), we’ve nonetheless received loads of questions on the way it will come collectively. Right now we get a bit preview of how the corporate’s subsequent flagship would possibly arrive, as we try some doable OnePlus 13 imagery.

We’re taking a look at a pair completely different sources right here, with the images in query originating on Chinese language social media. Outstanding leaker Digital Chat Station shared this imagery on Weibo earlier right this moment, though that publish has since been edited to take away the pics — whether or not that’s to guard a supply, or out of concern that what they present could also be deceptive, we are able to’t say (through Digital Trends). In consequence, we’d take all this with an acceptable dose of skepticism till one thing extra concrete arrives.

First there’s this obvious real-life photograph, exhibiting off what appears to be an OPPO Find X8, as nicely this beforehand unknown OnePlus handset that’s presupposed to be the OnePlus 13. The digital camera association is definitely harking back to the format on the OnePlus 12, however right here we see some adjustments to the flash, the elimination of that border extending from the cameras over to the telephone’s edge, and sliding over the Hasselblad H to provide it a bit extra prominence.

Whereas that may very well be an necessary discover, the opposite two pictures listed here are a bit extra spectacular wanting, depicting OnePlus 13 {hardware} in high-quality renders. Primarily based on how these arrived, it’s unclear in the event that they characterize precise leaks, or maybe some well-executed mock-ups primarily based on photographs just like the one simply above. They definitely do look the half, at the least.

Along with the angle shot you noticed all the way in which on the high of this publish, we’ve additionally received this close-up on the again panel. That textured end appears to be like grippy as hell, however the high quality of the supplies used may nonetheless have a huge effect on simply how good that finally ends up feeling. We’re particularly occupied with the in-hand really feel of this telephone as we try these flat metallic edges — nearly OnePlus X-like, and a pronounced departure from the corporate’s latest fashions.

Primarily based on claims we’ve heard from OnePlus executives, it’s wanting like this {hardware} will arrive operating the very succesful Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, however perhaps probably the most fascinating factor we’ve heard about this telephone to this point issues its show. The corporate has already began speaking a few panel that helps local high refresh rates, letting energetic elements of the display screen replace extra ceaselessly than static ones.

For now, we’re primarily curious if OnePlus will reside as much as expectations for launching the OnePlus 13 in China by the tip of the month. We’ll nonetheless be fairly a methods off from getting the telephone within the US, however at the least some affirmation of the design and {hardware} specs will probably be good.
