A newly leaked image of the OnePlus 13 sheds light on its familiar circular camera design. Likely to be powered by a custom Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition chip, it is expected to boast a BOE X2 display, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and a 6,000mAh battery, as per past leaks.

A newly surfaced image of the OnePlus 13 on Weibo has now given us what could be our first clear look at the device’s design, though there's no official confirmation from OnePlus yet. It features the familiar circular camera module present on the previous iterations of the device, adjacent to the Hasselblad branding. The picture further aligns with our past peek at the device in Qualcomm's video. Take a look at the leaked image below:

This image comes after recent leaks shed light on the OnePlus 13's hardware, including the custom Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition chip. The custom chip is rumored to offer high performance numbers, with internal reports suggesting it could outperform Apple’s A18 Pro in power efficiency.

The OnePlus 13 is also expected to feature a BOE X2 display, which will have improved brightness, better outdoor visibility, and eye protection. Another major upgrade is the likely inclusion of an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, replacing the optical one used in the OnePlus 12 (currently $529.99 on Amazon), along with a larger 6,000mAh battery supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

In terms of pricing, the OnePlus 13 is expected to cost more than its predecessor, with the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage model reportedly starting at CNY 5,299 (~$900). The official launch is anticipated soon, likely beginning in China before a wider global release. With the first alleged image now in tow, it shouldn't be long before we have something concrete from the company.
