The OnePlus 13s India launch has been officially teased, and the excitement is building fast. A dedicated microsite has gone live on Amazon India, confirming key details like the design, colour options, and the chipset under the hood. This new phone, a compact flagship, is rumoured to be a rebrand of the OnePlus 13T that was recently launched in China.
Mostly, the OnePlus 13T is going global under the name OnePlus 13s. So yes, we might see the same phone just rebranded as the OnePlus 13s. Even the images of the phone hint at that, as they have a striking similarity to the OnePlus 13T. This is the brand’s latest compact flagship, bringing top-tier specs in a slightly smaller package.
According to the Amazon microsite, the OnePlus 13s will be available in two stunning colour options: Black Velvet and Pink Satin. The design looks clean and modern, with a square camera cutout neatly placed at the top-left corner on the back. The microsite also confirms that the OnePlus 13s will be powered by the mighty Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Another major change is that the traditional alert slider is being replaced with a new customisable Quick Key button on the left edge. This button can be used for shortcuts to AI features and other tasks.
A synergy of power and proportion. Coming soon. #OnePlus13s

While the full specifications are not confirmed yet, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect, as the phone is likely to be very similar to the OnePlus 13T with some minor changes. The OnePlus 13s is expected to feature a 6.32-inch FHD+ LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, peak brightness of 2,400 nits, and Dolby Vision support. Under the hood, it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
In terms of cameras, there will likely be a dual-camera setup, featuring a 50MP main sensor with OIS and a 50MP 2x telephoto lens, along with a 16MP front camera for selfies. The battery is expected to be a massive 6,260mAh unit with support for 80W fast wired charging. Additionally, the phone will offer IP65 water resistance, making it more durable against splashes and dust.
In China, the OnePlus 13T starts at around CNY 3,399 (approximately Rs 39,800) and goes up to CNY 4,499 (around Rs 52,600). The pricing for India is still under wraps, but given that the OnePlus 13 is priced at Rs 69,999, the OnePlus 13s will likely be positioned below it, making it one of the best compact flagship options in the market.
