While an official price tag has yet to be announced, OnePlus CEO Robin Liu has hinted that the 13s will be positioned between the premium OnePlus 13 ( ₹69,999) and the mid-tier OnePlus 13R ( ₹42,999). Media reports suggest that the smartphone could carry a price tag close to ₹55,000.

The OnePlus 13s will feature a 6.32-inch display and will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, promising significant upgrades in both performance and energy efficiency. In a design shift, OnePlus is introducing a newPlus Key in place of the brand’s traditional alert slider, offering enhanced customisation options.

Notably, the device will offer up to 512GB of internal storage paired with 12GB of RAM. It is anticipated to come integrated with OnePlus’ proprietary suite of artificial intelligence tools under the “OnePlus AI” banner, aimed at boosting user productivity and personalisation.

On the imaging front, the 13s has been confirmed to house a 32MP front-facing camera. While the company has not officially detailed the rear camera setup, leaks point towards a dual 50MP rear camera configuration.

The OnePlus 13s is expected to be equipped with the latest G1 Wi-Fi chipset and will likely support 5.5G networks—positioning it well for India’s rapidly evolving telecom infrastructure.

In terms of dimensions, the smartphone is expected to be 8.15mm thick and weigh around 185 grams, making it both slim and lightweight—ideal for one-handed use.
