The OnePlus 13R is officially here with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 6,000 mAh battery and an LTPO AMOLED display for $599.99. The OnePlus 13R also comes with a free OnePlus Watch 2R at launch too worth $229.99.

The OnePlus 13R has landed globally as part of OnePlus launch event today alongside devices like the OnePlus 13. Like the OnePlus 12R before it, the OnePlus 13R makes camera and chipset cutbacks to hit a lower price point.

Specifically, OnePlus has equipped the OnePlus 13R with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is a generation older than the Snapdragon 8 Elite found in the OnePlus 13. Nonetheless, Qualcomm's former flagship chipset still represents an upgrade on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 that powers the OnePlus 12R, as does its 6,000 mAh Si/C battery.

Additionally, OnePlus installs a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display that resolves at 2,780 x 1,264 pixels with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 1,600 nits full panel brightness. While this display is similar to the one used in the OnePlus 13, IP65 certification falls short of its flagship counterpart.

Meanwhile, the OnePlus 13R also features a 50 MP primary camera based around Sony's LYT-700 sensor, plus 50 MP telephoto, 8 MP ultra-wide-angel and 16 MP front-facing cameras. Currently, OnePlus is selling the OnePlus 13R for $599.99 in the US with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB. Not only does the smartphone come in a choice between Astral Trail and Nebula Noir colour options, but it can also be picked up during OnePlus' pre-order phase with a complimentary OnePlus Watch 2R (curr. $229.99 on Amazon).
