OnePlus simply launched the OnePlus 13 in China, and the cellphone is ready to go on sale in international markets over the approaching weeks. Whereas the main target is clearly on the OnePlus 13, I like waiting for what’s coming in 2025 with the OnePlus 14.
Telephone launch cycles take wherever from 12 to fifteen months, so OnePlus is tough at work on the OnePlus 14, even when we can’t get to know any particulars concerning the machine for some time. Key particulars are chosen months prematurely — like whether or not to go together with Qualcomm or MediaTek and selecting digicam modules — and we should always be capable of know extra on this space quickly sufficient contemplating the quantity of curiosity in OnePlus leaks.
That stated, I am sharing what I feel is prone to be unchanged with the OnePlus 14, and the place we’d get respectable upgrades.
OnePlus 14: What’s prone to be the identical
OnePlus has all the time used Qualcomm {hardware} in its high-end gadgets, and that’s unlikely to vary with the OnePlus 14. Whereas OPPO switched to MediaTek with the Discover X8 and X8 Professional, these gadgets will not launch in North America, and with OnePlus sustaining an honest foothold within the area, I doubt the producer would select something apart from Qualcomm.
OnePlus labored intently with BOE to tailor the AMOLED panels on its newest gadgets, and that partnership is prone to proceed as nicely. The OnePlus 13 used the identical panel because the OnePlus 12, and it’s probably that the OnePlus 14 will decide up some upgrades.
Most producers are switching to silicon-carbon batteries in 2025, and the OnePlus 13 isn’t any totally different, with the machine selecting up an enormous 6000mAh unit. Whereas the elevated density makes it a no brainer to make use of inside a tool, you not get twin battery cells, and that impacts charging. Similar to the greatest OnePlus telephones, the OnePlus 13 goes as much as 100W, however it’ll take longer to cost the battery, and I do not see any adjustments on this regard with the OnePlus 14.
OnePlus 14: What may be totally different
Whereas I haven’t got any particulars of the design of the OnePlus 14, I am not an enormous fan of what OnePlus did with the OnePlus 13, with the machine switching to flatter sides. OnePlus telephones all the time maintained an analogous design aesthetic with clean curves, however like most different gadgets obtainable immediately, the OnePlus 13 has a bulkier look that does not look as elegant.
The OnePlus 14 ought to decide up digicam upgrades as nicely; the OnePlus 13 makes use of the identical 50MP principal digicam as final yr, and it’s probably the OnePlus 14 will get a higher-resolution sensor. I might prefer to see the 1-inch sensor that is used within the Discover X7 Extremely, Vivo X100 Extremely, and Xiaomi 14 Extremely make its strategy to OnePlus gadgets, and we may even see simply that in 2025.
OnePlus 14: Launch date
OnePlus tends to unveil its newest flagship in China in This autumn 2024, and launch the machine globally — often at an occasion in India — within the following quarter. The OnePlus 13 is sticking to the identical timeline, and if that is any indication, the OnePlus 14 must be introduced in October or November 2025, with an eventual international launch in early 2026.
With the OnePlus 13 getting a noticeable value hike, it’s attainable the OnePlus 14 slots in on the identical quantity. Then once more, with the machine at the least a yr away, there isn’t any strategy to predict its pricing — this stuff are determined only a month earlier than launch. As all the time, I will replace this put up as soon as we get tangible particulars of the OnePlus 14.
