Will OnePlus ditch the curves with the 13R?
Rumors are swirling about OnePlus' upcoming flagship phones, the OnePlus 13 and 13R, and it seems one of them might be getting a major design overhaul. While the OnePlus 13 is expected to retain the familiar curved display, whispers suggest the 13R could adopt a flat display, similar to Google's Pixel 9 series.
Here's a breakdown of the latest leaks:
OnePlus 13:
- Curved display: Leaked renders suggest the OnePlus 13 will retain the curved display design of its predecessor, with minimal bezels for an immersive viewing experience.
- Upgraded specs: The phone is rumored to boast a powerful Snapdragon processor, an improved periscope zoom camera, and faster 100W wired charging for its larger battery.
- Familiar design: Don't expect a radical redesign. Leaks point towards a similar look to the OnePlus 12, including the corner-mounted circular camera hump.
OnePlus 13R:
- Flat display: This is the biggest rumor surrounding the 13R. It's believed to be ditching the curves in favor of a flat display, possibly aligning it with the design language of phones like the Pixel 9.
- Other details: Information regarding the 13R's specs and design is scarce at the moment.
Reason for the change?
OnePlus' decision to potentially introduce a flat display on the 13R could be driven by several factors, including user preference for flat displays (often cited for better usability and accidental touch rejection) and a desire to differentiate the 13R from the more premium OnePlus 13.
Important Note: All these details are based on leaks and rumors and should be taken with a grain of salt until official confirmation from OnePlus.
