The OnePlus 13R introduces noticeable design changes compared to its predecessor.

The camera module has been simplified, removing the seam with the device’s edge while retaining a circular island with three sensors. The design lines remain recognisable but lean toward minimalism.

Another big shift is the move from curved edges to flat frames, following current smartphone trends. The Alert Slider is positioned on the left, while the power and volume buttons are on the right.

The phone’s display features symmetrical slim bezels giving it a sleek and modern look with a punch-hole front camera.

The OnePlus 13R is no slouch in terms of performance. It features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with LPDDR5X RAM (up to 16GB in China) and UFS 4.0 storage.

The 6.78-inch AMOLED display boasts a resolution of 2780 x 1264 px and an impressive 4,500 nits of brightness.

Out of the box, the phone runs Android 15 with ColorOS 15, OnePlus’s custom UI enhanced with AI-powered features.
