After the successful launch of its compact flagship OnePlus 13T in China, OnePlus is now preparing to bring the smartphone to India under a new name — OnePlus 13s. The brand has already launched a dedicated product page teasing the new model in two colour options: Black Velvet and Pink Satin. At first glance, the OnePlus 13s seems to sport the same design and form factor as the Chinese OnePlus 13T, signaling that it may be a rebranded version for Indian consumers.
The OnePlus 13s teaser highlights a sleek metal frame, a customizable button replacing the traditional alert slider, and two unique finishes:
Black Velvet: Inspired by a tranquil night sky, exuding a timeless elegance.
Pink Satin: OnePlus’ first-ever pink smartphone finish, adding a vibrant and refreshing touch.
The phone maintains a slim profile, weighing just 185 grams with a thickness of 8.15mmoffering a comfortable grip without compromising on battery capacity.
