OnePlus is all set to launch its new flagship smartphones, the OnePlus 13 series, and a new variant of its flagship earbuds, OnePlus Buds Pro 3, on January 7. This announcement comes as the company celebrates its 11th anniversary. OnePlus 13 series is expected to feature a slim design, an elegant camera layout following the golden ratio, and three stunning new colourways: Black Eclipse, Arctic Dawn, and Midnight Ocean.

OnePlus 13 Series

The Midnight Ocean variant is going to be the first phone to feature micro-fiber vegan leather, offering a luxurious hand feel while providing desirable resistance to corrosion and scratches. The Arctic Dawn colourway introduces an industry-first surface-based glass coating, for a comfortable, silky smooth touch and a fingerprint-resistant surface.

OnePlus 13 series is going to be powered by the newly-released OxygenOS 15, known for its advanced AI features designed to deliver a lighter, smarter, and smoother experience. These AI enhancements are applied across key areas of the devices, simplifying daily interactions, boosting productivity.

Key highlights include Intelligent Search, letting you search across your local files using natural prompts, so that you don’t have to open the file one by one, or read a long file yourself, and AI-powered photography tools, enhancing everyday tasks.

The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 will also come in an elegant Sapphire Blue colorway, complementing the OnePlus 13 Midnight Ocean. The Buds Pro 3 will introduce AI Translation in collaboration with the OnePlus 13 Series, offering seamless convenience for everyday communication and office tasks.

As the OnePlus 13 series launch approaches, it also marks a significant milestone for OnePlus—its 11th anniversary. This anniversary celebrates the Never Settle spirit that has defined the brand since its inception and its strong community.
