The OnePlus 13 is set to officially launch in the company’s home country on October 31. In the latest round of teasers, OnePlus has revealed the flagship’s water resistance rating and other key specifications. The OnePlus 13 is confirmed to offer a higher IP rating than the OnePlus 12. It will also come with a new and improved fingerprint sensor for authentication. Additionally, the battery capacity of the OnePlus 13 has reportedly already been tested.
The OnePlus 13 will feature IP68/IP69 rating
OnePlus has announced via Weibo that the OnePlus 13 will come with IP68 and IP69 ratings and this is a notable improvement over the OnePlus 12, which has only been rated IP65. The IP68 rating suggests that the handset can survive being submerged in water up to 1.5 metres deep for 30 minutes. The IP69 rating means it can also withstand high-pressure water jets.
The IP68 and IP69 ratings make the OnePlus 13 better than some of the best phones in the market. The premium iPhone 16, Samsung Galaxy S24 series, and Google Pixel 9 series offer IP68 ratings.
The OnePlus 13 will also feature an ultra-sonic fingerprint sensor for security. It will feature the new Bionic Vibration Motor Turbo with a 602mm square super large motor volume.
Furthermore, a battery test result carried out by a Weibo user shows that the OnePlus 13 with a 6,000mAh battery has secured the first place in the three-hour light battery test. The upcoming handset has secured the second place in the six-hour heavy battery test. The Red Magic 9S Pro and Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition came in second and third place respectively.
OnePlus has already shared several details about the OnePlus 13. These include 100W wired and 50W wireless charging support, ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, and BOE’s Oriental X2 8T LTPO AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. It is also confirmed that it will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC and have a Hasselblad-branded rear camera unit including three 50-megapixel sensors.
