In addition, the high-end smartphone also has a new vibration motor on board, using N54 neodymium magnets and having a total volume of 603 mm3, promising a more "satisfying" gaming experience.
Hasselblad triple camera system
The OnePlus 13 continues its long-standing partnership with Hasselblad. The phone features a triple-camera system, including a 1/1.4-inch 50MP Sony LYT-808 main sensor, OIS support, 23mm focal length and f/1.6 aperture.

The hardware is powered by the Hasselblad Master imaging algorithm - already present on the Oppo Find X8 series.
"Monstrous" battery with integrated advanced technology
The OnePlus 13 has a 6,000mAh battery, one of the largest in a high-end phone. To shrink the battery and fit it inside the phone, OnePlus used silicon-carbon technology, in which silicon crystals are embedded in a carbon anode to expand capacity. OnePlus calls this the Glacier Battery.

Like the company's previous flagships, the phone has a glass and metal frame construction, with a circular camera cluster on the back, slightly offset to the left. The alert slider is still retained, and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner under the screen will help users scan biometrics.
OnePlus has made the phone lighter at 210 grams and quite thin too - just 8.5mm. The phone comes in three colour variants: white, black and blue with a faux leather back.
Finally, the OnePlus 13 is quite durable with IP68 and IP69 standards. Therefore, the phone is protected from high pressure, high temperature when immersed in water and water jets.
