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

Alert slider is dead! OnePus 13s to debut in India with Apple-like customizable ‘Plus Key'
After announcing the removal of the alert slider on its phones earlier this year, OnePlus has officially confirmed that the OnePlus 13s will be the first phone in India to debut without the iconic feature, and will instead feature a 'Plus' button that can be customised for various tasks. Notably, the alert slider was a physical metal slider that was present on almost all OnePlus devices except the Nord series and allowed users to quickly turn their phones to silent, ring or vibrate. With the new Plus key, OnePlus says that users will be able to change sound profiles, click screenshots, record audio, turn on flash and take screenshots, among other things. Remember that Apple first introduced a similar action button with its iPhone 15 Pro lineup in 2023, and later added it to the entire iPhone 16 series last year. While some smartphone brands like Nothing and Lava have added a similar feature to their mid-range offerings, OnePlus could be the first Chinese company to bring this feature to one of its flagship devices. With the OnePlus 13s, OnePlus wants to tap into the newfound appetite among the masses for a compact phone. If leaks are to be believed, the OnePlus 13s is likely to be an India-exclusive version and will not be released in other countries. The 13s is said to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus 13T, which was launched in China a few weeks ago. OnePlus has confirmed that the new phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the same SoC that powers its flagship OnePlus 13. Meanwhile, the company has also shown off the phone in two colour variants: Black and Pink. In terms of what else we can expect from the OnePlus 13s, we will invariably have to look to the OnePlus 13T for inspiration. OnePlus 13T features a 6.32-inch 1.5K 8T LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1600 nits of peak brightness. The smaller form factor means that the phone weighs just around 185 grams despite having a thickness of 8.15mm. Unlike the OnePlus 13, the 13T comes with an optical fingerprint sensor and is only IP65 water and dust resistant, meaning it isn't technically waterproof but can sustain some splashes of water. Akin to its elder sibling, the OnePlus 13T also comes with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor paired with the Adreno 830 GPU. It packs support for 12/16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. The Chinese variant of the phone runs on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, but the global model should continue to run on OxygenOS 15. As for optics, the phone comes with a dual-camera setup featuring a 50MP Sony IMX906 primary shooter with OIS and a 50MP 2x telephoto lens, which also supports OIS unlike the OnePlus 13R. On the front is a 16MP shooter that can record videos in up to 1080p at 30fps. The 13T even outshines the OnePlus 13 in the battery department, packing a 6,260mAh setup, although with a slower 80W wired fast charging.

OnePlus 13s ditches the slider for a smarter button Apple users will recognize
OnePlus has started teasing its next mid-range phone, the OnePlus 13s, ahead of its launch in India (at least for now). It is expected to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus 13T that launched in China, and one of the standout changes is the debut of a new "Plus Key" that replaces the classic Alert Slider. This new button, which also showed up on the 13T, is essentially an upgraded version of the Alert Slider. OnePlus says it keeps the familiar features but adds way more customization options. Think of it like the Action Button on iPhones – you can assign it to do things like launch the camera, turn on the flashlight, activate silent mode and more. It is no longer just a mute switch, it is now a smart shortcut hub. OnePlus is also hinting that this Plus Key will become smarter over time. Thanks to AI integration in OxygenOS, the button is expected to learn your usage patterns and eventually offer personalized suggestions – basically evolving into a kind of mini personal assistant. As for the rest of the phone, since the 13s is expected to be a 13T in disguise, expect it to match the OnePlus 13 T's specs pretty closely, though minor global tweaks might still happen. Under the hood, it packs the Snapdragon 8 Elite – the same powerful chip found in the regular OnePlus 13 and Samsung's entire Galaxy S25 lineup. Storage and RAM could go all the way up to 1 TB and 16 GB. That's Ultra-level territory, but in a smaller and much cheaper phone. You are also getting a compact 6.32-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a sharp 2640 x 1216 resolution. Oh, and battery life? This thing packs a beastly 6,260mAh cell with 80W fast charging. Not bad for something compact, right? Camera-wise, here's what to expect: 50 MP main camera with OIS 50 MP telephoto camera 16 MP selfie camera Pricing and exact availability details should be revealed soon at the global launch. But based on what we know, the OnePlus 13s is shaping up to be one of the most powerful compact phones of the year.

Three reasons I'm excited for the upcoming OnePlus 13S
Table of Contents Table of Contents A no-compromise display All the power without the bulk A very capable camera system The OnePlus 13S sounds amazing When the OnePlus 13T launched in China last month, I was intrigued as it packed more battery capacity than the OnePlus 13 in a smaller form factor. Now, the company has teased a new phone called OnePlus 13S, which looks similar to the 13T and carries the tagline 'Powered up. Sized down' on its teaser poster. The 'sized down' part doesn't mean we're getting an iPhone mini-esque phone. If it is indeed the OnePlus 13T, it'll sport a 6.3-inch display, which is far from the iPhone 12 mini's 5.42-inch screen. But in 2025, where the largest iPhone display stretches to 6.9 inches, a 6.3-inch phone does qualify as compact in comparison. Recommended Videos The OnePlus 13S will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It is the flagship Qualcomm SoC that's responsible for fast and smooth performance on major 2025 flagship phones like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Xiaomi 15 Ultra, OnePlus 13, and more. But all of these are conventionally big phones. Their smaller siblings, Galaxy S25 and Xiaomi 15 are more compact and offer same performance. The OnePlus 13S will be a similar phone, but it could be better than the rest. While OnePlus hasn't officially announced a launch date, I'm genuinely excited about the 13S because it might just be the perfect blend of power and portability, like the Xiaomi 15. But with OnePlus' own flair and here are three reasons why you should also pay attention to the next OnePlus phone. A no-compromise display The OnePlus 13S will likely feature a 6.3-inch AMOLED display with an LTPO panel, where the refresh rate can go as low as 1Hz. It allows for unparalleled efficiency, which is essential for compact phones. If the OnePlus 13 is any indication, you can expect a bright and vivid display with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support. I hope the OnePlus 13S retains the Aqua Touch Display tech from its siblings, the OnePlus 13 and 13R. It is one of the reasons why I enjoy using a OnePlus phone so much. First introduced with the OnePlus 12, Aqua Touch lets you register accurate finger touches on the screen even when it's wet. If you've used any of the iPhones, you know how unresponsive the display gets with a few water droplets on it – that's a non-issue for the OnePlus flagships. All the power without the bulk The OnePlus 13T is smaller than Google's Pixel 9 but houses a similar-sized screen, a bigger battery, and a more powerful processor. The OnePlus 13S likely won't be very different. Going by the 13T's specs, you can expect flagship performance, but for a phone that finally fits in every pocket. Thanks to recent advancements in battery tech, we've got silicon-carbon batteries, and OnePlus seems to be making the most of it by exploring more form factors. You can expect a 6,000mAh or more battery capacity that charges at 80W to fit inside a form factor smaller than the Pixel 9. I love that I don't need to compromise on performance or choose the biggest possible phone to get a device that would last me an entire day. The OnePlus 13S' combo of flagship performance and big battery will set it apart from the rest. Most flagship compact phones in the market currently compromise on battery life, whether it be the best flip phones or the likes of Galaxy S25 and Pixel 9. The Xiaomi 15 with its 5,240mAh battery was different and lasted an entire day on every charge, but the OnePlus 13S could take it to the next level with its 6,200mAh battery. The OnePlus 13T weighs 185 grams, which isn't the lightest, but I'm looking forward to having Qualcomm's flagship performance paired with an efficient display and a big battery in something that's less than 200 grams. It sounds amazing, at least on paper. A very capable camera system The OnePlus 13S will feature a new camera module to house two sensors, and neither of them will be less capable than the other. I hope the company delivers the same optics as the OnePlus 13T and doesn't trade one of the sensors for a less compelling macro camera or an 8MP ultrawide-angle lens. For context, the OnePlus 13T sports two 50MP cameras. The primary sensor is a 1/1.56' 24mm wide camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and f/1.8 aperture. The second is a 1/2.76-inch telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom and f/2.0 aperture. It reminds me of the Oppo Find N2 Flip camera system, which was better than other flip phones at the time. While many might argue that an ultrawide sensor is better than a telephoto, I prefer having a zoom lens over an ultrawide. I like clicking architecture and portraits, both of which are better taken care of by a telephoto camera. Do I still use the ultrawide camera on my Galaxy S25 Ultra? Yes, for scenic shots. I'd love to have all three cameras on my phone, but if I were to pick, I'd pick the telephoto over ultrawide, and so, the OnePlus 13S appeals to me. The OnePlus 13S sounds amazing A combination of flagship performance and big battery is ideally reserved for big phones like the iPhone 16 Pro Max, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. Their smaller counterparts either compromise on battery or display quality. But the OnePlus 13S is shaping up to be one of those rare phones that pack a flagship punch with a big battery in a small form factor. It is scheduled to launch in India in the coming weeks. However, OnePlus US and OnePlus Europe have confirmed that the OnePlus 13T or 13S won't be released in their respective regions. According to a statement given to The Verge, the company said, 'Currently, we have no plans to launch the OnePlus 13S in Europe. That being said, we have noted the interest in the product from our European users, and we will keep it in mind as we make product launch decisions going forward.' The same goes for OnePlus US. Despite the limited availability, I hope OnePlus can deliver the bang-for-buck value and an excellent user experience with its next smartphone. It is shaping up to be something different and promising.
