The OnePlus 13 is tipped to arrive with a brand-new design. OnePlus flagships have sported a specific look for a while now. The OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 12 in particular are extremely similar, and the OnePlus 10 Pro is not far either, save for the different shape of its camera island.
The OnePlus 13 is tipped to arrive with a brand new design
Well, according to Digital Chat Station, things will change later this year. OnePlus is seemingly planning for a brand-new design for the OnePlus 13. This will represent a design revamp of sorts, for the company. The tipster also mentioned the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC will be used, as expected.
We still don’t know what that (design change) entails, exactly, as the tipster did not go into details. Does that mean that OnePlus will ditch curved displays and a glass+metal sandwich design with curved from and back sides? Well, it’s possible.
On the flip side, it doesn’t necessarily mean that. This could only mean we’ll see a drastically different camera on the back, along with some other details. Well, he did mention that the camera won’t be around anymore, so that’ll change for sure.
In regards to other changes, your guess is as good as ours. The way the tipster presented it, however, we’re in for quite a change. Many would say it’s about time, though on the flip side, many consumers seem to like what OnePlus is offering.
Will OnePlus adopt flat sides too, like many other OEMs?
Many major smartphone OEMs switched to flat sides and flat displays. That includes both Apple and Samsung, while Google will follow suit with the Google Pixel 9 series, at least based on a recent leak.
Will OnePlus do the same? Well, it’s possible. It remains to be seen what OnePlus is cooking, but knowing the company, it’ll want to differentiate one way or the other. So at least some details on the OnePlus 13 will be unique.
