OnePlus is gearing up to launch its next premium smartphone, the OnePlus 13s, in India. While the exact launch date is still under wraps, a series of teasers and leaks have already given us a fair idea of what to expect. Most notably, the OnePlus 13s is expected to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus 13T, which made its debut in China earlier this year.
Colours
The OnePlus 13s is set to arrive in three striking colour options. Although the official names haven’t been confirmed yet, a teaser video posted by the company on X (formerly Twitter) shows the handset in black, green, and pink shades. These colours aim to appeal to a wide range of users—from those who prefer a sleek, classic look to those who enjoy a more vibrant aesthetic.
Pluskey
One of the most interesting features of the OnePlus 13s is the new “Plus Key.” This button is expected to replace the traditional Alert Slider that fans of the brand are very familiar with. But this isn’t just a cosmetic change.
The Plus Key is said to be a multi-functional button. Besides performing tasks similar to the Alert Slider, it can also be customised to trigger different actions. These include:
- Activating AI-powered features
- Adjusting brightness
- Taking screenshots
- Capturing photos
- Recording videos
This gives users a whole new level of interaction with their phone, turning one button into a shortcut hub for everyday tasks.
Display
The OnePlus 13s will sport a 6.32-inch display, likely AMOLED, with a high refresh rate and vibrant colour output. Though resolution details are still under wraps, it’s expected to be in line with other premium OnePlus models. This size places it comfortably in the “not too big, not too small” category—perfect for media, gaming, and one-handed use.
Hardware
Under the hood, the 13s is powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. This SoC is built for top-tier performance, promising smoother multitasking, better gaming, and improved power efficiency. It should make the OnePlus 13s a solid pick for power users and mobile gamers alike.
Camera
If it follows the OnePlus 13T’s hardware, the 13s will likely feature a dual rear camera setup headlined by a 50-megapixel primary sensor. A second 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom adds more versatility to the camera system. Up front, expect a 16-megapixel selfie camera—standard for this segment but still capable of delivering sharp, social-media-ready shots.
Battery
The battery on the Chinese version—the OnePlus 13T—is a sizable 6,260mAh unit, supported by 80W fast charging. If the 13s follows suit, that means you can expect full-day battery life and ultra-quick top-ups. Ideal for users always on the go.
Availability
The phone will be sold via Amazon India and the OnePlus India e-store, as confirmed by the live microsite. So whether you’re an online deal hunter or a brand loyalist, you’ll have multiple platforms to grab the device once it launches.
Overall, the OnePlus 13s looks like a well-rounded upgrade, with thoughtful additions like the Plus Key and fresh colours making it more personal and interactive. Stay tuned, as the official launch announcement could drop any day now.
