OnePlus today announced that it will launch its first compact flagship, the OnePlus 13s, on June 5th, 2025. The OnePlus 13s will be available in three colourways, Black Velvet, Pink Satin, and Green Silk, created exclusively for the Indian market.
The OnePlus 13s is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite platform. It features a cutting-edge 4400mm² Cryo-Velocity Vapor Chamber, one of the largest in its class, and an industry-first cooling layer on the back cover, which helps dissipate heat and keeps the device cool to the touch. This cooling system ensures sustained performance, especially during extended video calls, intense gaming or outdoor use in high temperatures, as claimed by OnePlus.
OnePlus 13s is 8.15mm thick and weighs 185g. It is built for one-handed use, with 50:50 balanced weight distribution and a curved 2.5D front and back for a secure, natural grip. The brand further claims that this phone delivers the best battery life ever seen on a compact phone. In a stress test using Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), one of India’s most demanding mobile games, the OnePlus 13s maintained a stable frame rate for 7 hours—from full charge to empty. During WhatsApp calls, the device delivered an impressive 24 hours of continuous use on a single charge, while Instagram browsing provided 16 hours of seamless scrolling and interaction.
The OnePlus 13s also debuts the all-new Plus Key, a user-centric evolution of the Alert Slider, now introduced as a customizable button to make everyday interactions smarter, faster, and more personal. It offers one-press access to Sound, Vibration, and Do Not Disturb, AI tools, and other essential functions.
To overcome the signal challenges of compact phones, the OnePlus 13s introduces an upgraded 360° antenna system with 11 antennas, including 3 high-performance modules for better gaming and streaming and a four-mode ultra-wideband low-frequency antenna to optimize signal reception. A new self-developed signal-balanced mode technology improves signal strength by up to 60%, reduces the impact of obstructions caused by the human body and handholding.
With the addition of a G1 Wi-Fi chipset, the only independently integrated Wi-Fi chipset for smartphones in India, the OnePlus 13s delivers stable, fast Wi-Fi connectivity – especially when watching videos on the Delhi metro or making calls in low-signal buildings, elevators, or packed metro lines. As part of the OnePlus 13 Series, the OnePlus 13s continues to support 5.5G in India, enabling the device to connect to three network cells at once, even across different towers, for the best 5.5G experience and more reliable connections on the go.
More details about the OnePlus 13s will be revealed at the launch event.
