OnePlus 13s With Snapdragon 8 Elite and 6.32-Inch Display Confirmed for India Launch: Design and Colour Options Revealed

OnePlus Teases Upcoming Compact Flagship with New Design and Features

OnePlus has officially confirmed the launch of the OnePlus 13s in India, sharing the first teaser on Monday via its X (formerly Twitter) handle. The upcoming device, an addition to the OnePlus 13 series, will feature a compact form factor, a redesigned look, and at least two colour options. The OnePlus 13s appears to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus 13T, which was recently launched in China.

Although the exact launch date is yet to be revealed, the teaser indicates that the device will be “coming soon” and confirms several key specifications.

OnePlus 13s Design, Colours, and Key Features

The OnePlus 13s teaser showcases the smartphone’s rear design in two colour options—black and pink—each featuring a sleek dual rear camera setup. The official marketing names of these colourways have not yet been disclosed. The phone closely resembles the OnePlus 13T design, suggesting a continuation of OnePlus’ minimalist design philosophy.

OnePlus has also confirmed that the OnePlus 13s will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and a 6.32-inch display. Notably, the device introduces a new Short Key, replacing the iconic Alert Slider, a significant change from previous OnePlus models. It has been confirmed that the handset will be available for purchase through Amazon India.

Expected Specifications Based on the OnePlus 13T

Given the strong similarities to the OnePlus 13T, the Indian variant OnePlus 13s is expected to feature:

• Display: 6.32-inch Full-HD+ (1,264×2,640 pixels) AMOLED panel with up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 1,600 nits of global peak brightness.

• Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC coupled with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM.

• Storage: Up to 1TB UFS 4.0 internal storage.

• Cameras: Dual 50-megapixel rear camera sensors and a 16-megapixel front camera for selfies.

• Battery: A robust 6,260mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging.

• Software: Android 15 with ColorOS 15.0 skin (for China; Indian model expected with OxygenOS 15).

• Build: Metal frame, IP65 dust and water resistance, and in-display fingerprint sensor.

The OnePlus 13T debuted in China with a starting price of CNY 3,399 (approximately ₹39,000) for the base model featuring 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The Indian pricing for the OnePlus 13s is expected to be competitive, targeting premium mid-range buyers.

With its powerful specifications, revamped design, and premium build quality, the OnePlus 13s is positioned to be a strong contender in the Indian smartphone market.
