OnePlus 13R Complete Design and Color Variants Revealed in New Leak
OnePlus is gearing up to launch the OnePlus 13R in India on January 7th. The event will also feature the debut of the OnePlus 13 and a new color variant of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3. Ahead of the official release, leaked renders have given fans a glimpse of the OnePlus 13R, which will be available in two stylish colors: Astral Trial and Nebula Noir.
Design and Color options
The OnePlus 13R comes with a sleek design, identical to the recently launched OnePlus Ace 5. Renders shared by Arsene Lupin on X (formerly Twitter) show a flat display with narrow bezels and a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera at the center. The power button and volume rocker are on the right side while the alert slider is on the left following OnePlus’ traditional design.
At the back, the phone features a large circular camera module on the left side. It houses three sensors along with an LED flash. The iconic OnePlus logo is placed below the camera setup. The phone’s bottom edge includes a SIM tray, USB Type-C port, speaker vents, and a microphone. Its boxy design with rounded corners ensures a comfortable grip, while the metal body adds durability.
Key Specifications
The OnePlus 13R will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and come with a robust 6000mAh battery. It supports 80W fast charging, ensuring quick power-ups. The phone features a 6.78-inch 1.5K display and a triple-camera system with 50MP+50MP+8MP sensors. A 16MP front camera is included for selfies.
The device will also incorporate AI-powered features to enhance performance and usability. As the global version of the OnePlus Ace 5, it shares identical specifications with its Chinese counterpart, which was launched recently.
The OnePlus 13R will be sold in India via Amazon and the OnePlus website. Pricing details will be announced at the official launch. For comparison, the OnePlus 12R was introduced earlier this year with a starting price of Rs 39,999. The OnePlus 13R is expected to be priced similarly, offering great value for money.
OnePlus recently launched its powerful OnePlus Pad 3 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Now, a new rumor suggests that the company’s next tablet will be called the OnePlus Pad Lite.
According to the leak, the OnePlus Pad Lite will be powered by the Helio G100 processor. It will run on Android 15 with OxygenOS 15.0.1 on top. The tablet is said to feature an 11-inch Full HD+ LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, which should provide smooth scrolling and better visuals.
Inside, the OnePlus Pad Lite will pack a large 9,340 mAh battery, although details about its charging speed are still unknown. The device is expected to come with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Other memory options might be announced later.
For photography and video calls, the OnePlus Pad Lite will reportedly have two 5MP cameras—one on the front and one on the back. The tablet will be available in both cellular and Wi-Fi versions to suit different needs.
In terms of design, the OnePlus Pad Lite will weigh about 539 grams and measure 254.9 x 166.5 x 7.4 mm. The device is rumored to come in a stylish Aero Blue color. OnePlus is also expected to offer a matching folio cover that can be used as a kickstand.
So far, OnePlus has not officially confirmed any details about the OnePlus Pad Lite. Fans will have to wait for an official announcement.
The OnePlus 11 5G is getting the OxygenOS 15 April 2025 update. The update comes with the software version CPH2447_15.0.0.800(EX01) and has a download size of 937.15 MB. It brings several new features, improvements, and bug fixes to enhance the overall user experience.
What’s New in this update?
One of the major additions in this update is partial screen recording. Users can now choose a specific area of the screen to record, rather than recording the entire screen. This is useful for making focused tutorials or short clips without showing everything on the display.
The update also adds support for file sharing between the OnePlus 11 and Mac devices. You can now view your phone files directly on your Mac and easily transfer files between the two devices. This improves interconnection and makes file management more convenient for users who use both platforms.
Another new feature is the stack view layout for the Recent Tasks screen. This can give a cleaner and more organized look when switching between apps. If you prefer the old style, you can disable this feature by going to Settings > Home screen & Lock screen > Recent tasks manager.
In addition, the update improves gesture recognition for floating windows, making them easier to close. It also enhances the visual appearance by adding better shadow effects around these floating windows, giving a smoother and more polished look.
Lastly, the update includes the April 2025 Android security patch, which helps improve system security and keep your device protected.
If you own a OnePlus 11, it’s recommended to check for the new update by going to Settings > System > System Updates and install it for the latest improvements.
I’ve recently noticed a strange issue with my OnePlus 11. A few times, I’ve taken a photo—usually to remember something important—and while the shutter sound goes off and it looks like the photo was taken, it never appears in my gallery.
What’s even more confusing is that I clearly remember the photo being captured, but it just vanishes. This has been happening occasionally since the beginning of this year.
I’m not sure what’s causing the problem. It could be a bug in the camera app, an issue with the gallery, or something deeper in the system software. So far, I haven’t seen any official response from OnePlus about this.
If anyone else is facing the same issue, I’d recommend keeping your phone updated and trying a third-party gallery app to check if the photo gets saved elsewhere. Clearing the camera or gallery cache might help too.
