OnePlus will unveil the 13s on June 5. This device, part of the OnePlus 13 Series, measures 8.15 mm in thickness and weighs 185 g. It will be available in three finishes: Black Velvet, Pink Satin, and an India-exclusive Green Silk.
The review package from OnePlus is truly worthy of a museum display.

Inside, you’ll find the phone itself, in a sleek Black Velvet finish. The box also contains the usual manuals and literature, along with a protective case that feels notably velvety to the touch, perfectly matching the 13s, a powerful proprietary SuperVOOC charging brick, and the iconic red charging cable with white housing for the USB Type-C and Type-A connectors, as well as a SIM ejector tool.

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite platform, the 13s incorporates a 4,400 mm Cryo-Velocity vapor chamber along with a cooling layer on the back.

A new Plus Key has replaced the previous Alert Slider, providing one-press access to sound, vibration, and Do Not Disturb modes, AI tools, and more. To enhance signal reception, the 13s features an 11-antenna, 360° system with three high-performance modules and a four-mode ultra-wideband low-frequency antenna. The signal-balanced mode technology is said to increase signal strength by up to 60 percent.
The device includes a G1 Wi-Fi chipset—the first independent Wi-Fi chipset for smartphones in India—and supports 5.5G connectivity, allowing simultaneous connections to three network cells.
Pricing in India will be disclosed at the launch event.
