OnePlus officially launched its latest smartphone, the OnePlus 13s, in India on Thursday, June 5. Marking the brand’s entry into the compact flagship segment, the phone is powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset — touted as the company’s fastest yet. The OnePlus 13s joins the existing OnePlus 13 and 13R models.

The device will compete with other premium phones like the iPhone 16e, Pixel 9a, and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Weighing 185 grams, it features a 6.32-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits in High Brightness Mode (HBM).

At the rear, the phone houses a square-shaped camera module with a 50MP Sony LYT-700 main sensor that supports Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), and a 50MP telephoto lens with 2X optical zoom. The main camera can record 4K videos at 60 fps but does not support 8K recording. On the front, it sports a 32MP selfie camera.

OnePlus has replaced the traditional Alert Slider with a new Plus key. This button gives users quick access to a new feature called AI Plus Mind. It can also be customised to launch functions like the camera, translator, or flashlight. Long pressing the key lets users toggle between ring, vibrate, and silent modes.

The phone runs OxygenOS 15.0 based on Android 15 and comes with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage. It is powered by a 5,850mAh battery with 80W fast charging, although it lacks wireless charging support.

The OnePlus 13s will be available in three colours: Black Velvet, Pink Satin, and Green Silk. The 256GB variant is priced at Rs 54,999, while the 512GB version will retail for Rs 59,999. Sales begin June 12 across Amazon, the OnePlus India website, the OnePlus Store app, and offline outlets including OnePlus Experience Stores, Reliance Digital, Croma, and Vijay Sales.
