OnePlus has officially confirmed that its much-anticipated OnePlus 13s will soon launch in India. This new device is essentially the OnePlus 13T-recently introduced in China, now tailored for Indian buyers with a new name and select customisations.
The move aims to offer Indian users a powerful flagship alternative to the pricier OnePlus 13 and the more affordable OnePlus 13R.

Flagship Specs in a Compact Body
The OnePlus 13s stands out with a 6.32-inch FHD+ AMOLED display featuring a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1600 nits peak brightness for vibrant visuals.
The device is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, matching the performance of the flagship OnePlus 13 and ensuring fast processing and advanced AI capabilities.
Premium Design and Colour Options
Buyers can choose between two elegant finishes: Black Velvet and Pink Satin, both designed to offer a premium in-hand feel. The phone’s metallic frame and compact form factor make it both stylish and easy to handle.
Camera and Battery
The OnePlus 13s will sport a dual 50MP rear camera setup-including a main sensor and a 2x optical telephoto lens-plus a 16MP selfie camera for crisp photos and videos. Powering the device is a robust 6,260mAh battery with 80W fast charging, promising all-day use and quick top-ups.
Memory and Software
Expect up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB UFS 4.0 storage, making it ideal for multitasking and gaming. The phone will run Android 15-based OxygenOS 15 out of the box, with features like a new customizable Shortcut Key replacing the classic alert slider.
Why It Matters
The OnePlus 13s is positioned as a premium mid-range flagship, likely priced between ₹45,000 and ₹50,000, making it more affordable than the OnePlus 13 but a step above the 13R. This strategic pricing could make it a strong contender against rivals like the iPhone 16, Samsung Galaxy S25, and Google Pixel 9 Pro in India.
Launch Timeline
While the exact launch date hasn’t been revealed, teasers and official announcements suggest the OnePlus 13s will debut in India in June 2025. More details, including the final price and availability, are expected in the coming weeks.
