The next-generation Android flagship smartphones with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chips are already out in China. I am talking about the iQOO 13, OnePlus 13, and the Xiaomi 15 as well. After China, the OnePlus 13 is now expected to launch in India soon along with its affordable model, the OnePlus 13R. However we haven’t heard anything about the India launch from the brand yet. But according to OnePlus’ launch cycle, both these smartphones should debut in India in January 2025. This year also the OnePlus 12 and the OnePlus 12R launched on January 30.
Moreover, in this article, I am going to tell you 5 major changes that you can expect on the OnePlus 13R over the OnePlus 12R.
The high-end OnePlus 13 launched with a flat and boxy design this time, following the flat frame design trend. Same we can expect from the OnePlus 13R as the OnePlus 12R and OnePlus 12 looked very identical with curved design, except the size is different.
The ‘R’ variant of OnePlus’ numbered series comes with an year old flagship processor, which means the OnePlus 13R might be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This same processor powered the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, iQOO 12, OnePlus 12, and more. On the other hand, the OnePlus 12R runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, the same processor used in Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, iQOO 11, and OnePlus 11 as well.
Moreover, the OnePlus 13R is also rumoured to feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K 8T LTPO flat display, which will be a BOE X2 panel. For those who don’t know, this panel is said to be a high-end screen. The OnePlus 12R has a 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPO4 AMOLED curved display.
One more major upgrade the OnePlus 13R can come with is ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The OnePlus 12R features an optical fingerprint sensor and the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is a level up.
Lastly, there will be a big change on the battery front. A massive 6500mAh battery can power the OnePlus 13R with the support of up to 100-watt fast charging. Whereas, you get a 5500mAh battery in the OnePlus 12R with 100-watt fast charging.
