OnePlus 13s: Specs, features, price and everything else we know so far about the compact phone

The company is also hosting a virtual event, which will be livestreamed on YouTube at noon today. If you are interested in knowing more about the OnePlus 13s, from battery to chipset, here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming compact flagship device.

OnePlus’ upcoming small phone will be competing against the likes of the iPhone 16e, the Pixel 9a and the recently launched Galaxy S25 Edge. The Chinese phone maker has already confirmed that the OnePlus 13s will be powered by Qualcomm’s newest and fastest chipset – the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

To give you a quick recap, this is the same chipset that powers the likes of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, OnePlus 13, Xiaomi 15, iQOO 13, and other flagship phones launched this year.

The OnePlus 13s is said to sport a 6.32-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a maximum brightness of around 1,600 nits. This is rumoured to be backed by 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.

The back of the phone is expected to sport a squircle-ish camera island that houses a dual camera setup, which comprises of a 50MP primary shooter in addition to a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. On the front, we may see a 32MP selfie shooter. However, like the Chinese exclusive OnePlus 13T, it may miss out on an ultrawide shooter.

Rumour also has it that the OnePlus 13s will pack a 6,260mAh Silicon Carbon battery with support for 80W wired and 18W wireless charging, but we will have to wait a few more hours to know more.

With the OnePlus 13s, the company might also ditch the iconic Alert Slider in favour of a new button called the Plus key, which can be customised to launch to trigger frequently used functions or use AI features. OnePlus has also teased some new AI-powered software features like VoiceScribe, Call Assistant and AI translation.

As for colourways, the OnePlus 13s is said to come in three colours – Black Velvet, Pink Satin and Green Silk. It will most likely weigh 185 and be priced at or around Rs 55,000, making it significantly more affordable than the OnePlus 13 but a lot more expensive than the OnePlus 13R.
