In case you forgot, the OnePlus 13 is nearly right here. I do know, it appears wildly early this 12 months, however the timing of the revealing matches up with Qualcomm saying its subsequent huge Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip and OnePlus is seemingly to make use of that chip within the telephone on a world scale. So yeah, OnePlus is about to inform us all there’s to know in regards to the OnePlus 13 (for China to start out) earlier than a world launch in a while.
At this time, as a result of OnePlus loves a superb pre-launch tease, the corporate confirmed off the OnePlus 13 in 3 colours, gave us a number of angles of the up to date design, talked by means of some up to date specs, and launched web sites to additional improve the extent of teasing. Whereas I wouldn’t name this a full refresh of the OnePlus flagship sequence of telephones, it’s a much-needed adjusting to a design that had develop into a bit drained. Issues are wanting good right here, at the very least for my part.
To catch everybody up, the OnePlus 13 might be launched on October 31, in China. OnePlus has completed this for a number of releases now, the place we get their new flagship telephone in China as an early launch earlier than going international months later. For this launch, issues have apparently been moved up fairly a bit, and once more, that’s seemingly due to the timing right here with Qualcomm’s subsequent chip announcement.
As part of at present’s huge tease, we get to see the telephone’s design, which remains to be robust within the digital camera housing division. The brand new digital camera circle now not blends into the body, although, so it stands alone behind 3 new colours and textures. We’ll see Blue Second, a “velvety leather-based” materials, Obsidian Secret Realm, an “ebony wooden grain glass,” and White Dew Morning Daybreak, a “new technology of silk glass expertise.”
The up to date design brings a flat body, which is all the fashion in smartphones lately. Which means a flat show, one thing that OnePlus has lagged behind others in switching again to. They referred to as it out at present on Weibo, suggesting {that a} flat show “prevents unintentional contact” – oh, you don’t say? We’re additionally getting an Alert Slider within the aspect once more, for many who have been huge mad when OnePlus briefly eliminated it.
Lastly, OnePlus retains referring to this as “Tremendous Professional in each means,” as a reminder that this telephone is on the extent (or above) different Professional telephones. You see, that is the place I make the wager that they are going to quickly convey again the “Professional” tag to their telephones after telling everybody there was no want with the OnePlus 11 launch, as a result of they solely launch Professional telephones. That is clearly an indication that folks should be informed these items and haven’t fairly checked out OnePlus with the opposite Professional units in the marketplace.
Oh, Hasselblad branding is right here once more as a continuation of that partnership. It’s what it’s.
And that’s it for now, so benefit from the three OnePlus 13 colours under after which share any ideas.
OnePlus 13 – Blue Second
OnePlus 13 – Obsidian Secret Realm
OnePlus 13 – White Dew Morning Daybreak
