OnePlus 13s Launched in India: Compact Flagship with Snapdragon 8 Elite, 5,850mAh Battery & AI Features

OnePlus has officially launched the OnePlus 13s exclusively in India, catering to a much-demanded niche: small-sized flagships with top-tier performance. With a 6.32-inch LTPO OLED display, the phone is compact, powerful, and surprisingly affordable for what it offers.

Compact Size, Massive Power

The OnePlus 13s measures just 71.7mm wide, 8.15mm thick, and weighs 185g, making it lighter than both the iPhone 16 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro. Despite its small frame, it houses a massive 5,850mAh battery, outperforming most larger flagships. The phone supports 80W SuperVOOC charging with Bypass Charging, allowing it to operate directly off wall power to reduce heat while gaming or streaming.

Flagship Hardware

Under the hood, the 13s is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage (256GB or 512GB). A 4,400mm² vapor chamber and a rear cooling layer help dissipate heat effectively. It runs OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15 out of the box.

Long Gaming Sessions

OnePlus claims the 13s can deliver over 7 hours of BGMI gameplay without dropping below 120fps — all on a single charge. That’s a serious win for mobile gamers.

Dual Camera System

Despite its size, the 13s packs serious camera hardware:

50MP Sony LYT-700 main camera (1/1.56", OIS)

50MP 2x telephoto camera with Samsung JN5 sensor (EIS)

32MP front camera with autofocus and 4K video recording support

Both rear cameras shoot 4K at 60fps with Dolby Vision, and the front camera tops out at 4K 30fps — rare for its price segment.
