The smartphone manufacturer OnePlus is likely to unveil the OnePlus 13R when it launches the OnePlus 13 in China on October 31.
This smartphone will be a performance-oriented flagship with a more affordable price tag than the OnePlus 13.
SIRIM Certification Platform Listing
The OnePlus 13R has been listed on the Malaysia-based SIRIM certification platform. The only details available through the listing are the model number CPH2645 and the moniker of the smartphone. No specifications are available on the database.
Expected OnePlus 13R Specifications
Some specifications of the 13R variant have been leaked in the recent past. According to these details, the smartphone is likely to incorporate an OLED 1.5K display supplied by BOE. Further details like the screen size are yet to be known at the moment.
Under the hood, the handset is slated to house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. This would be a major processor upgrade if it is equipped with the Elite processor considering that the R models usually have a generation older processor.
While one set of rumors mentions that the smartphone will have a 6,000 mAh battery; there are also talks that the battery will have a 6,500 mAh capacity and support 100 W fast charging.

In the camera department, the handset will encompass a Sony IMX906 50 MP primary shooter and a Samsung JN1 50 MP telephoto snapper.
Global Launch
The predecessor OnePlus 12R that was available globally was a rebranding of the OnePlus Ace 2. The Ace 2 model catered only to the Chinese market. Going by this trend, the OnePlus 13R can be expected to have a global launch as the rebranded variant of the OnePlus Ace 3. The Ace 3 smartphone is slated to arrive in China in December 2024.
While the China-based smartphone will operate on ColorOS-based Android 15, the global model will feature OxygenOS 15.
