OnePlus might make a splash with the launch of its annual flagship phone. Rumors suggest that the OnePlus 13 might launch a little earlier than expected, possibly as early as late October or early November. This rumor comes from Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS), who suggests that OnePlus may be aiming for a late October launch, but it could be pushed back to November 11. The possible reason for this early launch? OnePlus might want to capitalize on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit, where it will unveil the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC with Oryon CPU in October 2024. The launch of the OnePlus 13 shortly thereafter could be a strategic move to grab consumer attention and boost sales.

If this rumor is true, OnePlus 13 would appear one or two months earlier than its predecessor, OnePlus 12which was launched in China on December 5, 2023. The worldwide release of the OnePlus 13 could possibly take place in December, following the usual pattern one month after the market launch in China.

As for the phone itself, there are now rumors about its specifications. A recent leak suggests that the OnePlus 13 could have a massive 6,000mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. The latter is reportedly not available this year, so it will be interesting to see if it potentially makes a comeback.

Other rumors suggest a 50MP main camera with the Lytia LYT-808 sensor and an f/1.6 aperture. The ultra-wide-angle and periscope lenses could also get an upgrade to 50MP. In addition, the OnePlus 13 is said to feature a 6.8-inch 2K 8T LTPO “custom” display with a “micro-curved” glass surface.

However, it is important to remember that these are just rumors at the moment and we will have to wait for official confirmation from OnePlus to reveal the exact specifications and launch date of the OnePlus 13However, the possibility of an earlier launch and significant battery upgrades are certainly exciting prospects for OnePlus fans.
