The OnePlus 13 is now thought to be one of the first flagship-grade Android smartphones to launch with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor later in 2024. It is also expected to get a new camera hump - however, according to the latest tips, it may be a less than significant departure from that of its predecessor. These rumors may or may not be backed up with a new render showing the smartphone alongside some of its most immediate rivals.

The next generation of premium smartphones thought to be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC have been discussed extensively in leaks to date already - however, those juicy tidbits have yet to be accompanied by equally tantalizing images to show how these upcoming flagships might look. 

However, it seems they are flooding in now, courtesy of famous leaker Digital Chat Station. The tipster has posted a schematic of not 1 but 4 such devices, all of which may or may not come from BBK Electronics "sub-series" such as Realme and iQOO, not to mention OnePlus.

That theory might be upheld by the appearance of the second device from the right, which seems to have the exact same Xiaomi-esque squircle camera hump as that of the iQOO 12 Pro . It is flanked by 2 devices with slightly smaller round humps, 1 of which might be the OnePlus 13, finally shorn of the frame-blending accent that has stuck around since the 10 Pro as rumored.

Accordingly, the remaining device to the left might be identified as the GT7 Pro from Realme, as it is the only one with a square camera hump much like that of the pre-existing GT6.

All in all, anyone hoping for a substantial design overhaul from OnePlus to mark the launch of its 13th-gen flagship smartphone might indeed be somewhat disappointed .

Grab an 8GB RAM OnePlus 12R for just $449.99 on Amazon today.
