OnePlus 13s Set to Launch in India: Compact Design, Premium Features

OnePlus is gearing up to launch its latest smartphone, the OnePlus 13s. The company hasn’t shared the exact launch date yet, but teasers hint it’s around the corner. Likely a rebranded version of the OnePlus 13T recently unveiled in China, the 13s is set to offer top-tier performance in a smaller, stylish package, slotting between the OnePlus 13R and the flagship OnePlus 13.

The OnePlus 13s comes with a sharp 6.32-inch AMOLED screen that’s super smooth with a 120Hz refresh rate and bright enough to shine even in sunlight, reaching 1600 nits. It’s protected by Oppo’s tough Crystal Shield Glass, so it can handle life’s little bumps. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, this phone is a powerhouse for gaming, streaming, or juggling apps. With up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, plus a slick Adreno 830 GPU, it’s ready for anything. It also runs on Android 15 with OxygenOS 15, giving you a fresh, user-friendly vibe.

Camera-wise, the 13s doesn’t mess around. It’s got a 50MP main camera with stabilization for clear, vibrant photos and a 50MP 2x telephoto lens for zoomed-in shots that stay sharp. For selfies, the 16MP front camera has you covered. A massive 6,260mAh battery keeps the phone going all day, and 80W fast charging means you’re back in action quickly. Replacing the old Alert Slider, you get a handy Shortcut Key, stereo speakers, a solid metal frame, and IP65 protection against splashes and dust.

The phone comes with stylish Black Velvet or trendy Pink Satin colors. In China, the base model (12 GB+256 GB) costs around Rs 39,700, so expect it to land in India between Rs 45,000 and Rs 50,000, cheaper than the OnePlus 13 (Rs 69,999) but a step above the 13R (Rs 42,999).
