Global Launch: All Eyes on January 7th
As part of the "Winter Launch Event" on January 7, 2025 at 16:30 p.m. German time, OnePlus will present its new high-end smartphone worldwide. In addition to the OnePlus 13, the OnePlus 13R and the new OnePlus Watch 3 will probably also be unveiled. The global launch would be the next big step for OnePlus, after the device has been available in China since October.
Technical highlights: What the OnePlus 13 has to offer
The OnePlus 13 relies on high-end hardware that is impressive:
- Display: 6,82-inch flat OLED panel with 120 Hz and a peak brightness of up to 1.600 nits (4.500 nits peak).
- Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite – currently the most powerful chip from Qualcomm.
- Battery: Huge 6.000 mAh capacity with 100W fast charging and 50W wireless charging.
- Memory: Variants up to 24 GB RAM and 1 TB storage (depending on region).
- Camera: Triple camera setup with three 50MP sensors and 3x optical zoom, plus a 32MP front camera.
- Operating system: OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15, with new AI features.
- Colors: Midnight Ocean (blue), Black Eclipse (black) and Arctic Dawn (white).
Thanks to IP68 and IP69 certification, the device is also well protected against dust and water. It remains to be seen whether the OnePlus 13 will challenge the competition on the market. The hardware certainly promises a lot.

Pop-up tour: OnePlus focuses on proximity to the community
OnePlus has another surprise in store for Germany. The company has reactivated its German social media channels and announced an exclusive pop-up tour. It starts on January 15, 2025 - 13 p.m. in Düsseldorf (Grünstr. 15). The OnePlus pop-up events have long been a cult event.
