OnePlus 13s

OnePlus has confirmed the launch of its first compact flagship, the OnePlus 13s, scheduled for June 5, 2025. Ahead of its debut, here are 10 things we already know about the device.

The OnePlus 13s will officially launch on June 5, 2025, as part of the OnePlus 13 Series.

This will be OnePlus’s first compact flagship, focusing on one-handed usability while maintaining premium performance.

The device will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite platform, offering flagship-level performance suitable for multitasking, gaming, and AI tasks.

To manage heat in a compact body, it will feature a 4400mm² Cryo-Velocity Vapor Chamber and an industry-first cooling layer on the back panel.

Despite its size, the OnePlus 13s is claimed to offer long battery life: 7 hours of BGMI gaming, 24 hours of WhatsApp calling, and 16 hours of Instagram browsing.

It will have a clean, symmetrical design with minimal camera lines and a 2.5D curved front and back. The device weighs 185g and is 8.15mm thick.

It will be available in three colours: Black Velvet, Pink Satin, and India-exclusive Green Silk. The latter is inspired by the olive tree and nature themes.

The Alert Slider has evolved into the Plus Key, which will allow users to assign custom functions, including sound modes and AI shortcuts.

The phone will feature a 360° antenna system with 11 antennas, a self-developed signal-balanced mode, and a G1 Wi-Fi chipset for improved reception.

It will support India’s 5.5G networks and can connect to three network cells simultaneously, promising better connectivity on the move.
