OnePlus 13s: OnePlus is preparing to release its next flagship, and anticipation is already on the rise. The new OnePlus 13s has been teased with some very interesting features, and though an official date is yet to arrive, the company keeps releasing clues regarding what the consumers will get. Among the biggest pointers is the inclusion of a customisable “Plus Key” that differentiates it from the earlier versions.
Custom Plus Key Leaked Before Launch
The new OnePlus 13s will have a “Plus Key” on the left, where the traditional tri-state alert slider used to be. The company has teased the key in a social media post, suggesting different levels of customisation. This Plus Key is likely to do the functions of sound profile control, taking photos, or opening up features such as AI tools and translation based on the preference of the user.
Drawn from OnePlus 13T’s Shortcut Button
The Plus Key appears to function as the shortcut key that debuted with the OnePlus 13T in China. The button could switch between silent, vibration, and ring modes, serve as a camera shutter, or even start screen recordings. It could be set to take quick screenshots or nothing at all. OnePlus 13s also appears to have the same functionality, which is a push towards user convenience and personalisation.
Design and Colour Options Unveiled
As per the teaser, the OnePlus 13s will resemble the OnePlus 13T in design. In India, it is confirmed to be available in black and pink colour options. This maintains the sleek and minimalistic aesthetic the brand is known for, while offering new choices to appeal to a broader audience. The teaser hints at a premium build, likely continuing the brand’s tradition of combining style and performance.
Confirmed Display Size and Chipset
OnePlus 13s will feature a 6.32-inch screen and is driven by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Although full display specifications are not yet confirmed, the resemblance to the OnePlus 13T indicates users should be able to enjoy high refresh rates and crisp visuals. This chipset boost makes the 13s a powerhouse for performance-hungry users.
What to Expect Based on OnePlus 13T
Though the OnePlus 13s is yet to be unveiled in its entirety, the 13T provides a glimpse of what might be expected. The 13T had a 6.32-inch OLED screen with up to 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, and a huge 6,260mAh battery with 80W fast charging. Its IP65 rating provided dust and splash protection. Camera-wise, it featured a 50MP primary sensor, 50MP telephoto lens, and 16MP front-facing camera. The 13s can potentially use the same blueprint.
Expected Availability and Sales Channels
Once released, the OnePlus 13s will become available to buy from Amazon India and OnePlus India’s official website. With a feature set that includes the custom Plus Key and Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, this smartphone may appeal to both tech lovers and regular consumers seeking innovation and performance in a single package.
