Massive OnePlus 13 leak just revealed everything about the phone

At this point, it’s common news that the OnePlus 13 will launch in China tomorrow. Obviously, we would get all of the specs on the phone at launch, but the Chinese telecommunications authority TENAA (similar to the Federal Communications Commission in the U.S.) recently shared an almost complete specs list. Since it’s coming from an official agency, this is information that you can pretty much take at face value.

According to the certification, the OnePlus 13 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and will come with a 4.1GHz CPU, and have a 6,000mAh battery. We already knew most of these details from previous leaks, but it’s good to see them confirmed.

The screen is 6.82 inches, with a 1440p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth video and animations. The front selfie camera is 32MP, while the primary, ultrawide, and telephoto lenses on the back are each 50MP.

As far as memory goes, the OnePlus 13 starts at 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, but can go as high as 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The battery will also support 100-watt wired and 50W wireless charging, again confirming several rumors we had heard before. What’s more interesting is that the OnePlus 13 is also said to support external batteries and that it has a charging puck with extra cooling features.

The phone measures 162mm by 76.5mm by 8.5 mm and weighs a mere 213 grams, or just under half a pound. Based on this size, the OnePlus 13 looks thinner than the OnePlus 12, but has smaller bezels.

The funny thing about this confirmation is that nearly all of these specs were leaked ahead of time from various insiders. At this point, not much about the OnePlus 13’s hardware is a surprise. What we don’t know is how well the OnePlus 13 will work or how smoothly it will run. Based on previous iterations, it’s set to be a heck of a phone — but anyone outside of China will have to wait until 2025 to find out.

I tried a new Android phone that puts some of the best smartphone cameras to shame
The rear camera setup on the Oppo Find X8 Pro.

It’s been a few years since I was surprised by a smartphone camera’s zoom performance. With Samsung offering 100x zoom on its Galaxy S Ultra lineup, little has shocked me with smartphone cameras — until now.

The Oppo Find X8 series is the successor to the Find X7 series from last year, and alongside several other improvements, there’s also been a significant upgrade in one area: the 30x zoom. Oppo and OnePlus have great cameras at shorter zoom distances, and at a recent briefing, I discovered that we can now add the 30x zoom to the list.

Ever since the original Apple Watch, smartwatches as a whole have really taken off. Though Apple largely dominates the market, there are still plenty of non-Apple smartwatches to choose from.

I’ve been solely an Apple Watch user for the past decade, but I’ve been trying out a Google Pixel Watch 3 for the past couple of weeks. And, honestly, I kind of love it.
A round smartwatch is so much sleeker
