OnePlus President Announces Ambitious Goal for OnePlus 13: Pushing Android Boundaries to Unprecedented Heights
Fresh Take:
Get ready, folks! OnePlus president Louis Lee just dropped a bombshell on Weibo (via Android Authority) about the upcoming OnePlus 13. This bad boy is scheduled to hit shelves in China later this month! While no word has been given about its global release, OnePlus fans will be thrilled to hear about this speedy launch for the company's next flagship phone.
The OnePlus 12, released in February 2024, was a winner for us, thanks to its superb camera, bigger battery, and wireless charging capabilities. But it's time to bid adieu to the OxygenOS, as the OnePlus 13 will run on ColorOS15, a first for a OnePlus device. Lee promises that this new operating system will deliver an "unprecedented super performance, super performance scheduling, and a super smooth dynamic experience."
OnePlus is pegging its new self-developed Tidal Engine and Aurora Engine on the ColorOS15 as its key features, promising a "revolutionary smooth experience" for users. The Tidal Engine is said to schedule performance efficiently, while the Aurora Engine aims to create a dynamically smooth and agile system. Let's hope these improvements address our past concerns about the OS's aesthetics that turned a bit strange after its blend with the ColorOS!
In a September Weibo post (again via Android Authority), Lee hinted at the OnePlus 13's display, announcing the "world's first second-generation Oriental Screen." This display is expected to provide even better performance than the OnePlus 12 and leave its predecessor far behind.
OnePlus wowed us with its beefy 5,400mAh battery on the OnePlus 12, and it looks like they're cranking it up a notch with the upcoming model, which boasts an impressive 6,000mAh battery. Let's hope it also retains its wireless charging capabilities. Tipsters are predicting that it will indeed support both 100W wired and 50W wireless charging speeds on the phone.
As for the price, rumors suggest it will be in the same ballpark as the OnePlus 12, which launched at $800. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on the OnePlus 13!
In 2024, OnePlus is set to unveil the OnePlus 13, their next flagship phone, marking a swift launch timeline following the OnePlus 12. As compared to its predecessor, the OnePlus 13 will run on ColorOS15, a new operating system for OnePlus devices that promises "unprecedented super performance."
In terms of technology, OnePlus is introducing two self-developed engines, the Tidal Engine and Aurora Engine, integrated with ColorOS15, which are expected to offer a "revolutionary smooth experience."
The OnePlus 13 is anticipated to feature the world's first second-generation Oriental Screen, supposedly delivering improved performance compared to the OnePlus 12.
Battery capacity is reportedly upgraded for the OnePlus 13, boasting a substantial 6,000mAh battery, which, if rumors hold true, is compatible with both 100W wired and 50W wireless charging speeds.
