The 13R is believed to debut as the sub-flagship version of the new top-end OnePlus 13 smartphone in the near future. However, it can still be assured of the same premium charging experience, not to mention a battery even bigger than that of its already record-breaking predecessor. Then again, other devices from the same brand might outdo it in terms of camera hardware.

The OnePlus Ace 5 Pro is tipped to launch at the end of 2024 with the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC as the next generation of flagship Android smartphones, the 13 from the same brand that may be on the market ahead of it in China included.

However, it is now also projected to have a mid-frame made of plastic as opposed to aluminum as in the current OnePlus 12 flagship (now available on Amazon), according to respected leaker Digital Chat Station.

In addition, the 5 Pro is now tipped to have a flat 1.5K version of BOE's latest X2 LTPO display, whereas that of the 13 might be 2K. The same might be true of the Ace 5, thought to debut as a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered version of its Pro sibling in order to offer an even more affordable alternative to the new top-end 13.

Accordingly, the vanilla 5 is also thought to become available outside China as the 13R for the same purpose. It is now also tipped to debut with a 50MP main rear camera, which, with its alleged 1/1.56-inch footprint, may or may not be based on one of Samsung's latest sensors for smartphones.

There might also be a 50MP telephoto option on the cards, although it might also be exclusive to the Pro variant. The Ace 5 series is also currently thought to be most like the white version of the Ace 3 Pro in terms of looks and to have the same fast 100W charging as the 13 for batteries of at least 6,000mAh in typical capacity.
