Highlights
- OnePlus 13 to feature a centrally placed circular camera visor
- OnePlus 13R shown with a square camera island on the left
- Both models expected to have notable visual differences
- OnePlus 13 rumoured to include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset
Just a few months after the launch of the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R, we have a clear idea of what their successors may look like, all because of leaked design sketches.
The sketches were shared by a reliable leaker, Yogesh Brar, on the social media platform X.

If there are no big changes, the OnePlus 13 and 13R could end up looking like this..

As per the sketch, the OnePlus 13 is likely to boast a circular camera visor centrally placed on the back panel, breaking away from the current off-center placement on the OnePlus 12.
The move could hint at OnePlus’s attempt to provide cleaner design differentiations between its flagship and the toned-down models
On the OnePlus 13R, the sketch shows that the camera island on the left side of the back panel will retain but in a square shape and not in the circular design seen in the predecessors.
If these sketches turn out to be accurate, it will be much easier to distinguish between the two smartphones at a glance for anyone, even for those unaware of the subtle branding or colour changes.
Expected Specifications
Although no leaked specifications of the OnePlus 13R have been received, previous leaks suggest that the OnePlus 13 will inherit the same 6.8-inch 2K LTPO display as its predecessor.
There are rumours that the OnePlus 13 might sport a micro quad-curved display, aimed at enhancing ergonomics and giving a better grip.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Chipset
As expected, the OnePlus 13 is likely to be powered by Qualcomm’s forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset; OnePlus has invariably used Qualcomm’s flagship processors in top-of-the-line devices.
The design of the OnePlus 12 and 12R is such that both are very difficult to differentiate from each other at first sight.
The sketches now hint that OnePlus could look to change that with the 13 series by way of rather pronounced visual differences between the two variants.
