Ahead of its official debut, a premature Amazon listing unveiled critical hardware details. The OnePlus 13s is expected to include a 50MP primary camera as part of a dual-lens rear configuration. The listing also highlighted a robust 5,850mAh battery and Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, coupled with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB internal storage. The device reportedly maintains a slim 8mm profile.

While the official pricing remains undisclosed, company chief Robin Liu suggested a price point between the OnePlus 13 (Rs 69,999) and the OnePlus 13R (Rs 42,999). Market observers estimate a retail tag around Rs 55,000, supporting speculation that the 13s could be a rebranded version of the OnePlus 13T, previously released in China for CNY 3,399.

A notable design evolution is anticipated with the elimination of the signature alert slider, substituted by a new "Plus Key." This multifunctional button is expected to control several tasks such as audio profile toggling, app launches, and voice memo initiation. An in-display fingerprint scanner and a strong IP68/IP69 protection rating are also expected, reinforcing durability credentials.

Internally, the phone is said to be equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. Paired with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, the device aims to deliver flagship-grade speed. Power management could be handled by a 6,200mAh battery, supported by 90W fast charging technology for minimal charge time and maximum productivity.
