Description:
A leak suggests the OnePlus 13 could have a fast-charging 6,000mAh battery, but no change to its main camera sensor.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If youve been holding out for the OnePlus 13 then the latest leak is a mix of good and bad news lets start with the good.

According to leaker Digital Chat Station posting on Chinese site Weibo (via GizmoChina ), the OnePlus 13 will have a 6,000mAh battery. That would be substantially larger than the 5,400mAh battery in the OnePlus 12 , which itself is already bigger than the batteries in most phones.

For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 5,000mAh battery, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 4,441mAh battery, and the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL has a 5,060mAh battery. So the OnePlus 13 could be a real battery life champ.

Its charging speeds shouldnt disappoint either, as the same source claims
that the OnePlus 13 will support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. This again would have most phones beat, although it wouldn't actually be an upgrade over the OnePlus 12, which already offers those
speeds. Its also worth noting that, as with the OnePlus 12, its likely that charging speeds will be capped at 80W in the US. The same sensor as before

Where this leak gets slightly more disappointing is in its claim that the OnePlus 13 will have the same LYT808 main camera sensor as the OnePlus 12. This is a 50MP f/1.6 camera, and while its not bad, its a shame that OnePlus apparently isnt upgrading it, especially as in our OnePlus 12 review we only gave the cameras 3/5, though thats in part because of the secondary lenses as well.

In any case, wed always take leaks with a pinch of salt, so these details may turn out not to be accurate, though the source has a solid track record.

We might not find out what the OnePlus 13s actual specs are for a while yet, as based on past form the phone probably wont land until December and even then, it may only appear in China, with a global launch likely to happen in early 2025. Stay tuned in the meantime for any further leaks and rumors.
