While we’re still waiting for the global release of the OnePlus 13 (following its October launch in China), we’ve already seen leaks about the handset’s mid-range sibling, likely dubbed the OnePlus 13R, and now we’ve seen a leaked image purportedly showing off the phone.>>>>>>>>>>>OnePlus Ace 3V – Battery BLPA45 2680mAh
Shared by leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo (via NotebookCheck), the image is technically said to be of the OnePlus Ace 5, but based on past form that phone will probably launch as the OnePlus 13R outside China.In any case, the image shows a sleek, stylish phone that looks quite a lot like the OnePlus 13, especially with its circular, off-center camera island. Like that phone it appears to have a triple-lens camera, and round the front it has a flat display, unlike the curved OnePlus 12R.>>>>>>>>>>OnePlus 12 5G – Battery BLPA25 2700mAh
You can also see that there’s an alert slider on the left edge, and what looks to be a metal frame. The source adds that the OnePlus 13R will use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. That’s not the latest Snapdragon chipset, so this phone likely won’t be as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Elite-packing OnePlus 13, but the 8 Gen 3 is still a speedy option, as it’s used in the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
There’s nothing else in this leak, but previously the same source has said the OnePlus 13R will have a huge 6,000mAh battery, a 50MP primary camera, and a 50MP telephoto one. If all works out well, and the price is likely to be at the mid-range level, the OnePlus 13R could be an attractive alternative to other mid-range models we expect to launch in 2025, such as the iPhone SE 4, Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, and Google Pixel 9a.
The OnePlus 13R could also launch earlier than these phones, and based on past performance, we expect it to launch in January or February.>>>>>>>>>>>OnePlus Ace 3 – Battery BLPA33 2750mAh
