The OnePlus 13s, part of the 13 Series line-up, debuts exclusively for India market and offers flagship performance, OnePlus AI features and a refreshed design language, all in a sleek, compact form ideal for one-handed use.

The launch event will be livestreamed on the OnePlus India YouTube channel on June 5, 2025 at 12 noon IST. Meanwhile, let’s take a closer look at what we know about the device so far.

Stronger and without compromises

The OnePlus 13s delivers flagship power in a compact form, perfectly suited for modern users who value performance without compromising portability. Powered by the latest Qualcomm® Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform, the device ensures smooth multitasking, gaming, and on-device AI effortlessly. In fact, the OnePlus 13s may be the most affordable smartphone in India powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite platform.

During a stress test of Battlegrounds Mobile India® (BGMI), one of India’s most demanding mobile games, the device maintained a stable frame rate for 7 hours, from full battery to empty. The OnePlus 13s delivers the best battery life ever seen on a compact smartphone.

The device comes with an innovative internal layout that maximizes power featuring a cutting-edge 4400mm² Cryo-Velocity Vapor Chamber, one of the largest in its class. This is also backed by an industry-first cooling layer on the back cover, which helps dissipate heat and keeps the device cool to the touch.

Smarter with OnePlus AI – Intelligently Yours

Recently, OnePlus announced its vision with OnePlus AI to deliver a more personalized and intelligent smartphone experience, and the upcoming OnePlus 13s will be the first to witness this. The device introduces the all new Plus Key — a major upgrade designed to bring the power of AI to your fingertips. Building on the legacy of the Alert Slider, the Plus Key is a customizable hardware button that can be programmed to launch frequently used actions such as switching sound profiles, launching the camera, enabling Do Not Disturb, starting voice recordings, initiating translation, or activating AI features.

At the heart of this innovation is Plus Mind, OnePlus’ next-gen productivity assistant. With a simple press of the Plus Key or a three-finger swipe, users can instantly capture, save, and organize key on-screen information into a dedicated Mind Space. Whether it’s a meeting schedule, restaurant reservation, or event listing, Plus Mind intelligently extracts and stores only what’s relevant, helping users manage information overload with ease.

Beyond just saving, Plus Mind leverages OnePlus AI to analyse the content contextually—automatically pulling out dates, times, or action items and integrating them into useful apps like the calendar.

Not only that, OnePlus is actively developing a suite of tools leveraging OnePlus AI to enhance user efficiency and creativity like AI VoiceScribe, AI Call Assistant, AI Translation, amongst others.

The Per-Fit daily driver

The OnePlus 13s embraces a new design philosophy defined by clean lines, minimalism, and thoughtful craftsmanship. With flat glass on both sides, a streamlined middle frame, and rounded corners, it offers a sleek, yet comfortable in-hand feel. At just 8.15mm thin and 185g, the device is designed for effortless one-handed use and all-day comfort, thanks to perfectly balanced 50:50 weight distribution.

Available in three colour variants —Black Velvet, Pink Satin, and India-exclusive Green Silk—each finish tells a story. Green Silk, inspired by the olive tree, symbolizes growth and continuity, while the Pink and Green models debut Velvet Glass, a soft-touch, skin-like finish that feels as premium as it looks.

 Fast Network, Smart Link

The OnePlus 13s sets a new benchmark in network performance with an upgraded 360° antenna system with 11 antennas, including 3 high-performance modules for better gaming and streaming and a four-mode ultra-wideband low-frequency antenna to optimize signal reception. A self-developed signal-balanced mode further enhances reception by up to 60%, minimizing interference from hand grip and surroundings for smoother gaming and streaming.

For connectivity, the OnePlus-exclusive G1 Wi-Fi chipset—India’s first independently integrated Wi-Fi solution, ensures fast and stable performance, whether you’re streaming on the metro or on calls in elevators. The device also supports 5.5G in India, offering advanced signal slicing and multi-cell connectivity across towers, enabling faster, more reliable connections on the move.

Flagship-Quality Cameras

The OnePlus 13s features a flagship-level camera setup designed for exceptional image capture. This commitment extends to the front-facing camera, which boasts a 32MP sensor with an autofocus lens.
