The OnePlus 13R is set to launch alongside the OnePlus 13, featuring enhanced internal components, a larger battery, and an upgraded camera system at a lower price point than the flagship model.
Leaked details suggest the OnePlus 13R will be a rebranded version of the China-exclusive OnePlus Ace 5, which is expected to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset paired with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
The device will sport a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and potentially improved brightness levels, while maintaining the previous year's maximum brightness of 4,500 nits.
Significantly, the 13R may replace the 2MP macro camera with a 50MP unit, possibly a telephoto lens, while keeping the main 50MP, 8MP ultra-wide, and 16MP front cameras unchanged. The battery capacity could increase to 6,000 mAh, with fast charging speeds remaining at 80W for North America and 100W elsewhere.
OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15 is expected to come pre-installed, alongside Bluetooth 5.4 and a slimmer design at 8.02 mm thick. Initial color options include 'Nebula Noir' and 'Astral Trail', with a price range of approximately $550 to $600, making it an attractive option given its hardware.
