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.
My 6t was the best Android i ever had. I still havent found a smartphone with a better camera than that one (including modern iPhones and Pixels).
Too bad about the Oppo merger ruining a lot of what made Oneplus good. The lack of support for loading alternative roms was the final straw for me. I dont want to be chained to the very short device lifespan the manufacturer supports.
What do you mean? LineageOS works on the 11
Not the 12 afaik
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.
Both the Pixel and the iPhone will frequently try to refocus on something in the background just as I’m framing the shot. I have a third-party camera on the pixel with “manual” focus, but it’s not as easy to use as the OP6T. The iPhone is less bad about random focus changes if i’m taking a picture of a flower in good light, but leaves and stems frequently give me trouble.
I also prefer the color balance on the OP6T to that on the Pixel or iPhone. Much more true to life IMO
Magnetic power bank? But no mention of Qi2 support. So no magsafe implementation then.
It’s implied. How else would the magnetic part work? I can’t comment on magsafe but it should be Qi2. Unless, they didn’t certify and made a proprietary implementation just for oneplus 13 series smartphones.
It’s gotta be Qi2. But it’s a well-known standard so why would they not mention it?
