TheOnePlus 13isn’t expected to launch before early next year, but some details are already getting leaked. The latest claims the smartphone will boast a battery that will outperform the competition, at least in terms of raw capacity.
Smartphone news siteGizmochina, citing tipster Smart Pikachu, claims the OnePlus 13 will pack a 6000mAh battery. If true, that’s a big improvement over the OnePlus 12’s 5400mAh battery and will result in increased battery life.
We tested theOnePlus 12and found its battery is far better than the competition, easily lasting longer than the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. We were able to get over 9 hours of screen time from the smartphone and used it for over 24 hours with moderate usage. For comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro Maxaverages8 hours and 41 minutes.
The OnePlus 13, with a 6000mAh battery, could surpass these numbers. However, raw specs don’t tell the full story.
Battery efficiency depends greatly on the software and the chipset in the phone. While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the OnePlus 12 proved to be quite efficient, it remains to be seen how the OnePlus 13’s rumoredSnapdragon 8 Gen 4will perform.
OnePlus is alsoreportedto be making changes to thesmartphone’s design. The OnePlus 13 might ditch the round camera island seen on the previous generation model. Instead, it will feature a square camera island similar to the one seen on the OnePlus 10 Pro.
