OnePlus 13 Will Have World's First DisplayMate A++ Display
OnePlus will be collaborating with China-based panel manufacturer BOE at an event today to announce the special display that will be featured on the OnePlus 13 for the first time . The brand revealed some details of the display that will be featured on the OnePlus 13 today. In addition, technology blogger Cai Zuxuan, who is reported to be a OnePlus employee, announced that a price increase is expected for the OnePlus 13 model along with the improved display and new processor.
According to the brand, the OnePlus 13 's second-generation 2K Oriental Display, aka BOE X2 display, has achieved the world's first DisplayMate A++ certification, breaking an impressive 21 display records. According to reports, the OnePlus 13 will feature a 6.82-inch BOE X2 8T LTPO panel with a micro-quad curved design and ultra-thin equal-sized bezels.
The display will offer a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will also be the first OnePlus phone to feature an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner . The OPPO Find X8 Ultra, which is expected to launch in January 2025, will have the same display. OnePlus/OPPO is expected to reveal more details about the OnePlus 13 and its display at its event in China today.
OnePlus 13 will be more expensive due to processor and display
The other key feature of the OnePlus 13 is that it’s one of the first phones to feature Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. As mentioned above, the inclusion of these components means that it will be more expensive than the OnePlus 12, which retails for 4,299 yuan / $605 for the base 12GB + 256GB version.
The source, Cai Zuxuan, also said that since the OnePlus 13 has a top-tier chip and an ultra-level display, the 16GB + 512GB version will definitely be priced above 5,200 Yuan (~$735). The same version of the OnePlus 12 was priced at 4,799 Yuan (~$680). Therefore, it seems that the OnePlus 13 could be around 500 Yuan (~$70) more expensive than its predecessor.
Previous leaks have revealed that the OnePlus 13 will feature up to 24GB of LPDDR5x RAM , up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, a 6,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W magnetic wireless charging. The phone will have three rear cameras: a 50MP LYT-808 main camera, a 50MP Samsung JN5 ultrawide camera, and a LYT600 3x periscope telephoto lens. Other highlights of the phone include single-point ultrasonic fingerprint unlock, IR blaster, Android 15, and IP68/69 certification.
