New Delhi
OnePlus has released a new video teaser for its upcoming OnePlus 13s smartphone, revealing that it will feature a new customisable button, called the 'Plus Key.' The new Plus Key will allow users to customise it as per their preference for performing actions like changing the audio profile, launching the camera app, enabling flash, starting audio recording, setting up translation, and more. This new button replaces the signature alert slider on OnePlus devices, which allowed the limited function of switching sound profiles.

Earlier this year, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed plans to replace the alert slider with a more versatile and user-programmable button. The upcoming OnePlus 13s will be the first OnePlus smartphone to get the new button.

The company has confirmed that the OnePlus 13s will sport a 6.32-inch display, making it the smallest and most compact model in the OnePlus 13 flagship series. The company has also confirmed that the smartphone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and is expected to come with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.

Regarding imaging, the device is expected to carry a 50MP dual rear camera set-up and a 16MP front camera. Powering it all will likely be a 6,260mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging support.

OnePlus Pad 3 with Snapdragon 8 Elite processor launching next week: All you need to know

OnePlus has confirmed that its latest Android tablet, the OnePlus Pad 3, will be launched in North America, Europe and the UK on 5 June, powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. On the same day, the company is also set to launch its India-exclusive OnePlus 13s compact flagship, which will feature the same SoC. However, the company is yet to announce whether the new tablet will be launched in India. The timing does seem ideal, given that last year's OnePlus Pad 2 also debuted around the same time during the OnePlus Summer Launch event. OnePlus Pad 3 will feature Open Canvas, which debuted with the OnePlus Open in 2023 and was later introduced to the OnePlus Pad 2 last year. This feature enables users to multitask with ease by opening up to three apps simultaneously. The promo images also reveal that, just like last year, OnePlus will offer a separate keyboard and stylus for the tablet. However, these accessories will most likely be sold separately. Leaks suggest that the tablet could be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro, launched in China last month. If these rumours are true, the tablet could feature a 13.2-inch, 3.4K, 144 Hz display with a High Brightness Mode (HBM) of 900 nits. Apart from being powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, the tablet could come with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. In terms of optics, it could feature a 13 MP primary camera with an LED flash and an 8 MP front-facing camera for video calls and the occasional selfie. The tablet could feature a 12,140 mAh battery with support for 67 W SuperVOOC wired fast charging. It is expected to run on Oxygen OS 15, based on Android 15, and support all the new AI features already seen on the OnePlus 13 (Review) and OnePlus 13R (Review).

Upcoming phone launches in June 2025: OnePlus 13s, Infinix GT 30 Pro, Vivo T4 Ultra and more

If you're planning to buy a new smartphone right now, it may be prudent to wait a while, with June shaping up to be a month of power-packed launches, from the OnePlus 13s to the Infinix GT 30 Pro and even the Vivo T4 Ultra. Here's a look at all the phones expected to debut in India next month. The Infinix GT 30 Pro is set to debut in India on 3 June. It will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor — the same chipset that powers Motorola's Edge 60 Pro, which launched in India last month. The phone features what Infinix calls a 'Cyber Mecha Design', with white lighting on the Blade White variant and RGB lighting on the Dark Flare version. It also comes with shoulder triggers to offer users more control while gaming. While more details about the GT 30 Pro remain under wraps for now, its global debut has already given us a fair idea of what to expect from this new gaming-focused device. You can head over to our previous article to check out everything we know so far. The era of compact phones in India is about to begin with the OnePlus 13s, launching on 5 June. The phone will feature a 6.32-inch form factor and will be powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor found in the OnePlus 13 (Review). Apart from its compact size, the 13s is also notable for introducing the Plus key, OnePlus' take on the iPhone's Action Button, replacing the iconic alert slider. This new key will also support calling up AI Plus Mind, which OnePlus says will help users save, catalogue, and recall key information shown on-screen. Vivo has confirmed that the T4 Ultra will launch in India soon, featuring a periscope telephoto camera with up to 100x zoom. While an exact launch date isn't confirmed yet, the phone is expected to arrive in the first half of June. Leaks suggest the T4 Ultra could feature a 6.67-inch pOLED 120Hz display and be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor. It may also come equipped with a 50MP IMX921 primary sensor and a 50MP periscope lens, along with support for 90W charging. Initially rumoured to launch in May, the Poco F7 is now expected to debut in India in June 2025. According to leaks, it could be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, the same SoC used in the recently launched iQOO Neo 10 (Review). The phone may come with LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.0 storage and a massive 7,550mAh battery with 90W wired fast charging. On the camera front, the Poco F7 is expected to offer a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra wide angle lens and a 20MP selfie shooter. The OnePlus Nord CE 5 has already received BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification in India and is expected to launch in June. According to leaks, the device could sport a 6.78-inch flat Full HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It may be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor and pack a 7,100mAh battery. In terms of optics, the Nord CE 5 could feature a 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary camera and an 8MP Sony IMX355 ultra-wide lens.

OnePlus 13s India Launch Price Tipped Once Again: What You Might Have To Pay

Last Updated: OnePlus 13s India launch price is once again making the headlines and the new details from a tipster suggests a higher range. OnePlus 13s India launch is less than a week from now and the device has shown that it has a lot of different elements that will separate it from the OnePlus 13 and 13R models in the series. OnePlus introduced the 13T in China recently and many believed the 13S will be the same device with a new moniker but it seems the features will be tweaked to give it a different impetus. But all eyes will be glued to see how the OnePlus 13s is priced in India, which is again being speculated ahead of the launch. OnePlus 13s launch price in India is likely to start around Rs 55,000 as per the details from a tipster this week. These figures seem to be going one way or the other, and compared to the earlier rumours, the new details seem rather high for the offering. OnePlus 13s India launch price should be close to Rs 50,000 or start at Rs 52,000 and then come further down with the help of bank offers. We won't have to wait that long for the official OnePlus 13s launch details and other specifications with the June 5 event not that far away now. OnePlus 13s Launch Specifications The OnePlus 13s is pegged to be a compact flagship phone that looks to deliver on all fronts without any compromises. is likely to feature a 6.32-inch display which makes it the ideal compact device with powerful credentials. The device is likely to come with a dual rear camera system and one of them could be a telephoto lens. OnePlus should launch the 13s with OxygenOS 15 version out of the box and we hope the brand can offer at least 4 OS upgrades for the device if not more. First Published: May 30, 2025, 11:39 IST
