The OnePlus 13 is a strong contender for the best Android flagship of 2024 (and even 2025).
The OnePlus 13 is set to be officially unveiled soon .
The biggest upgrade that will set the OnePlus 13 apart from the Galaxy S24/Galaxy S25, Pixel 9, and iPhone 16 series is the new integrated SiC battery, rumored to have a capacity of at least 6,000 mAh.

Other highlights include 100W wired charging, fast wireless charging (50W), and magnetic charging – just like the iPhone. And the shocking specs don’t stop there…
The new “Snapdragon 8 Elite” chip (which could leave Apple and MediaTek far behind) with up to 24GB of RAM combined with the fluid Oxygen OS user interface could very well make the OnePlus 13 the performance “champion” in 2024-2025.
Can the OnePlus 13 be more “perfect” than the OnePlus 12?
According to tech experts, no phone is perfect, including the upcoming OnePlus 13.
The OnePlus 12 clearly stands out from its "rivals" thanks to its camera design.

The OnePlus 12 clearly stands out from its "rivals" thanks to its camera design.
First, in terms of design, the OnePlus 13 is the first OnePlus phone to feature a symmetrical screen bezel with 3D curved glass.
This phone will also be thinner than the OnePlus 12 and lighter, which is a bright spot when many smartphones are getting bigger and heavier.
The phone also comes in a striking blue color. The success of the iPhone 16 and OnePlus 13 this year will make consumers reconsider their color preferences.
According to the concept image, the blue leather version of OnePlus 13 will excite many fans.
OnePlus 13 camera is no longer the same as OnePlus 12, OnePlus 11, OnePlus 10
This is something that many tech enthusiasts regret. The camera cluster with a metal frame is no longer on the OnePlus 13?
! Everyone loves this unique design element, which has become a part of the OnePlus 12, OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 10 predecessors.

Of course, the reason for this decision is hardware limitations, but many users are still disappointed. This is quite similar to when Google introduced a groundbreaking design for the Pixel 6 series (making the Pixel 6 the most unique phone from the back) but did away with the symmetrical display of the Pixel 5.
The protruding rear camera design with a surrounding metal frame is a "tradition" of the high-end OnePlus line.

Not to mention the time when Google continued to remove the black camera cover the following year with the Pixel 7 series. Many fans did not like this decision and the same thing happened with the camera design of the OnePlus 12 > OnePlus 13.
OnePlus has lost the one design element that made its flagship stand out in a phone market that is saturated with devices that look 95% the same. It's a strange move - especially at a time when almost all high-end phones are adopting flat screens with flat, identical frames.
Let's wait and see how the public will receive the OnePlus 13 series and what new things OnePlus will introduce behind this new design.
