OnePlus 13 teaser video drops ahead of global release

Three OnePlus 13 smartphones in different colors: white, black, blue.
OnePlus unveiled its newest flagship, the OnePlus 13, in China back in October and now it's prepping for a global launch. We might see it hit international markets as early as January – possibly alongside Samsung's Galaxy S25 series – and OnePlus is already building excitement by dropping teasers for its global fans.

The flagship is on its way


The company has dropped a fresh video to drum up excitement for its latest flagship. Titled "The Next Chapter of OnePlus Smartphones," the clip gives a sneak peek at the upcoming device. Sadly, it skips over the global launch date, though, as I mentioned, it's expected to make its debut next month.

The OnePlus 13's specs are nothing short of impressive and I have a feeling this could be the Android phone that everyone else might struggle to top this year. OnePlus is keeping its partnership with Hasselblad alive, and the result is a triple-camera setup fine-tuned by photography pros to deliver outstanding results. On the back, you'll find:

  • A 50 MP Sony LYT-808 main camera
  • A 50 MP ultrawide camera
  • A 50 MP Sony LYT-600 periscope zoom camera with 3x optical zoom

The OnePlus 13 features a 6.82-inch AMOLED display with a dynamic refresh rate ranging from 1 to 120Hz. Its peak brightness hits an impressive 4,500 nits, so even the sunniest days won't be a problem when using this screen.

Inside, OnePlus has packed a sizable 6,000 mAh battery into the OnePlus 13. It supports 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging via the company's custom air-cooled charger.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 13 packs the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, already dominating benchmarks and giving Apple a reason to worry. The phone will come in several memory configurations, but rumors point out that not all of them will be available globally. A recent leak suggests the global version will only feature the 12GB/256GB and 16GB/512GB options, while the 24GB/1TB model will be exclusive to China.

Lastly, OnePlus ships its phones with Oxygen OS (or ColorOS in China) – a sleek, light version of Android, which brings some handy features and customization options.

So, as you can see, the OnePlus 13 is clearly gunning for the Android crown. With top-tier specs across the board, it's shaping up to be a strong contender for the best smartphone of 2025. Now that it's going global, it's definitely one to watch if you're in the market for an Android flagship.
