Google’s Find My Device network has finally hit its stride, offering a critical tool for locating lost or stolen phones. Google’s own Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 series were among the first to support tracking even when powered off, a game-changing feature for users concerned about theft. Now, OnePlus has entered the spotlight by integrating this capability into its latest flagship, the OnePlus 13.
The OnePlus 13 proudly supports being tracked via Find My Device even when it’s switched off, a feature prominently displayed in the device’s power menu. The settings page further confirms this with the message: “You can locate this phone with Find My Device even when powered off.”
This advanced functionality is enabled by Qualcomm’s cutting-edge FastConnect 7900 system, embedded in the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. While Qualcomm’s hardware supports Powered Off Finding by design, manufacturers must actively choose to implement it. Fortunately, OnePlus didn’t hesitate to bring this powerful feature to its users.
While some may question whether this enhancement justifies the $100 price increase over its predecessor, the OnePlus 12, there’s no denying that this upgrade adds significant value, especially in terms of security.
The OnePlus 13 is making waves with its global launch today, boasting premium features and next-gen technology. For those eager to learn more, an in-depth video review is available, alongside a comprehensive written evaluation covering every detail of this impressive device.
