The OnePlus 13 will be unveiled in China on October 31. Before that, we’ve already seen it in leaked images, and now the company itself has posted a quick official unboxing video of the yet-unannounced device. That’s definitely an unorthodox hype-building campaign, but we’ll take it since it means we get to see the handset and its packaging early.
Note that as the October 31 launch is for the Chinese market only, the video is in Chinese and the phone runs ColorOS. Internationally, it will of course go with OxygenOS instead.
The red box is still present, as you can see. The screen seems flat with extremely narrow (and seemingly symmetrical) bezels all-round. The leaked design is confirmed, with the camera island being very similar to its predecessor’s, but losing its metal connection to the now-flat frame, while the Hasselblad logo has moved.
The OnePlus 13 is powered by the newly announced Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with up to 24GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. It will intriguingly support magnetic wireless charging, but most likely through cases.
