OnePlus 13 is coming with a 6,000 mAh battery, the company confirmed in its latest teaser. This will be the brand’s first flagship with such a battery capacity and is over 10% more than what the predecessor had.
We also learned that it will keep the 100W SuperVOOC wired charging, but the 50W wireless charging will work with a magnetic attachment.
The new phone will arrive on October 31, and we’ll also see some power accessories on stage – a magnetic power bank with 5,000 mAh capacity, a wireless charger with a cooling fan, a 100W SuperVOOC power bank, and a brand new 120W GaN adapter.
The OnePlus 13 will get a line of official cases that old-school brand fans will love. We are looking at two wooden options and a sandstone variant. It seems like OnePlus will also launch a branded cup for beverages for its really hardcore fans.
The launch of the phone is in three days, and so far, we learned it will have a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, up to 24 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB UFS 4.0 storage. Camera-wise, there is a revamped setup with a 50 MP multi-prism telephoto shooter while sticking to a familiar design.
I still use my 6T and still love it, but hearing that it’s the best you’ve owned doesn’t fill me with confidence about an upgrade!
That said I don’t think the camera is amazing, the photos from my wifes and friends iPhones look way better.
I’ve mainly used an iPhone 13 and a Pixel 7 pro for comparison, but both have consistently worse cameras than the 6T.
I mostly take close-up photos of plants for iNaturalist, and with both the iPhone and the Pixel i have a very hard time getting it to focus on the right spot long enough to get a good photo. The 6T is much better at maintaining the correct focus IME than either newer phone
