According to a senior OnePlus official, the OnePlus 13 will launch in China as part of the company’s latest flagship smartphone series. The device uses a “latest generation” flagship chipset and is said to be able to run graphics-intensive mobile games like Genshin at incredibly high frame rates. This launcher confirmation builds on previous OnePlus 13 leaks that suggested the smartphone may support up to 100W wired fast charging.
OnePlus 13 release schedule
In a post on Chinese social networking site Weibo, OnePlus China CEO Louis Li revealed that the company’s next flagship, the OnePlus 13, will launch in China “next month.” This suggests that the phone will launch in October, but only in China.
According to officials, this is the “last generation” flagship chipset, which refers to the 4th generation Snapdragon 8 processor, which could be unveiled at next month’s Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii. The SoC features a self-developed dual-core architecture that is said to improve the performance of mobile operating systems. This processor is said to have been developed by the same team that previously developed personal computer chips.
Combined with the company’s “proprietary” technology, the chip delivers graphics performance of up to 120 frames per second (fps) in Genshin, a game with high visual fidelity.
This development confirms an early leak from Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) that suggested the OnePlus 13 could launch in China in the last week of October or the first week of November.

The OnePlus 13 will reportedly feature a 120Hz flat screen with 2K resolution and curved edges.

The phone is likely to be powered by a 6,000mAh battery that supports 100W (wired) and 50W (wireless) fast charging.
