Following the announcement of pre-orders for the OnePlus 13 by Li Jie, President of OnePlus China, the highly anticipated new phone made its debut at the 2024 "Peace Elite" Stimulating Night All-Star Performance Competition. The OnePlus 13 appeared in the performance competition video in three colorways: black, blue, and white, aligning with previous leaks.

From the physical pictures, the OnePlus 13 retains the straight-edged frame design. The most significant change is the rear camera module, which has transitioned from a hinged circular design to a design with a dividing line and a Hasselblad logo positioned above the line. The overall design aesthetic has been refined, making the phone even more recognizable. Additionally, the black version features a textured rear cover, suggesting that the new phone might offer multiple back cover materials for distinct grip experiences.

Beyond design enhancements, the OnePlus 13's star feature is the second-generation Orient display, incorporating the first-ever implementation of Solar Display technology. The display boasts advancements in display quality, visibility under strong light, eye protection, and smooth touch responsiveness. Here are the specifics:

• Second-Generation Orient Display: Utilizing a custom-made X2 luminescent material, the display improves color consistency while reducing power consumption, resulting in more accurate color reproduction.

• TV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Protection 4.0 certification: Incorporating Mingmu Eye Protection 2.0, the display enhances eye comfort and visibility, reducing fatigue and eye strain.

• Full Brightness DC-like: The DC-like dimming mode minimizes color shift, ensures higher purity, and boasts better uniformity.

• Mingmu Low-Frequency Flicker 2.0: Employing a 3Pulse dimming strategy, the display achieves a perfect balance between smoothness and eye protection.

Beyond eye protection technology, the second-generation Orient display supports self-developed adaptive high refresh rate and incorporates the latest 8TLTPO screen circuit technology, enabling multi-scenario and multi-level screen refresh rates. Additionally, the OnePlus 13 will boast self-developed screen chip P2, enhancing brightness, color uniformity, and reducing ghosting. This translates to a clearer, smoother, and more eye-friendly viewing experience on the OnePlus 13.

In terms of performance, the OnePlus 13 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset, with a 24GB+1TB version available. The phone is equipped with a 6000mAh battery supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. The main camera boasts a 50MP LYT808 sensor, along with a periscope telephoto lens. Other features include a 0916T motor, IP68/69 dust and water resistance, and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

Li Jie previously shared the OnePlus 13's GeekBench6 benchmark scores: 3230 in single-core performance and 10132 in multi-core performance, indicating impressive performance potential. In comparison, the OnePlus 12, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, LPDDR5X+UFS4.0 memory, and the Aerospace-Grade Tian Gong Cooling System Pro with a 9140mm VC cooling area and a total cooling area of 38547mm, offers exceptional performance. Camera-wise, the OnePlus 12 features a 32MP front camera and a 50MP main camera (LYT-808) + 64MP telephoto camera + 48MP ultra-wide camera combination. The battery has a capacity of 5400mAh and supports Long Life 100W Super Flash Charge, Long Life 50W Wireless Flash Charge, and wireless reverse charging. The starting price of the OnePlus 12 is 4299 yuan.

Overall, the OnePlus 13 is poised for significant upgrades in display, performance, imaging, and battery life.
