OnePlus has officially launched its latest smartphone, the OnePlus 13s, in India today, June 5, 2025. This new addition to the OnePlus lineup is designed to be a compact flagship device, slotting in between the OnePlus 13R and the more premium OnePlus 13. The key highlight of the OnePlus 13s is its powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with a focus on delivering a premium experience in a smaller form factor.
The OnePlus 13s will be available in India in two variants. The base model, featuring 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, is priced at Rs 54,999. For users needing more storage, a 12GB RAM variant with 512GB storage is also available for Rs 59,999. The device will be offered in three color options: Black Velvet, Pink Satin, and Green Silk.
One of the defining features of the OnePlus 13s is its compact design. The phone sports a 6.32-inch OLED display, making it comfortable for one-handed use. Despite its smaller size, the display is packed with features including LTPO technology for adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz, and a peak brightness of 1600 nits.
Under the hood, the OnePlus 13s is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 3nm processor known for its efficiency and performance. It comes with at least 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and storage options up to 512GB UFS 4.0. To keep the device cool during intensive tasks, OnePlus has incorporated a 4,400mm² vapor chamber and an additional cooling layer on the back panel. The phone runs on OxygenOS 15, based on Android 15.
In the camera department, the OnePlus 13s features a dual rear camera setup, both equipped with 50MP sensors. The primary camera uses a Sony LYT-700 sensor, while the secondary lens is a telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. A 32MP front camera with autofocus is also included for selfies.
