We have the latest OnePlus flagship lineup for 2025, the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R, in for review, along with a set of new accessories that OnePlus will be launching alongside these devices. While the OnePlus 13 has already been available in China for some time, we now have our hands on the global variant, ready to test its international appeal.
OnePlus 13 – Arctic Dawn Variant
The OnePlus 13 is the brand’s true flagship for 2025, boasting top-tier specs and premium design. Our unit is the Arctic Dawn variant, which features a frosted glass back that feels sleek and refined. This contrasts with the blue vegan leather finish available on the Chinese version. The polished aluminum frame complements the flat sides of the phone, which gently curve into the display for a smooth and seamless feel in hand.
OnePlus 13R – Striking Design with a Unique Touch
The OnePlus 13R, on the other hand, is a relatively newer entrant and offers a unique design that sets it apart. Its perfectly flat front, back, and sides give it a minimalist, monolithic appearance, interrupted only by the camera island on the back.
One standout feature is the concentric circular pattern etched into the glass back, which remains invisible at certain angles but reveals a striking star trails effect when light hits it just right. This clever design element not only adds a touch of elegance but also gives the phone a distinct identity.
New Accessories for the OnePlus 13 Series
OnePlus is also introducing four new cases for the OnePlus 13, which include:
- Wood Grain Half-Pack Cases – Available in black and another shade, featuring open sides for a unique look.
- Aramid Fiber Case – A durable, lightweight option available in blue.
We have both the Aramid Fiber and the Wood Grain Half-Pack (black) cases on hand. While they may seem like standard protective covers, they play a crucial role in enhancing the functionality of another new accessory.
AIRVOOC 50W Magnetic Charger
The AIRVOOC 50W Magnetic Charger is a new wireless charging solution from OnePlus. It magnetically attaches to the aforementioned cases and includes its own cooling system for efficient, fast charging. Although primarily designed for OnePlus devices, it can also charge iPhones, albeit at a slower rate. The concept seems familiar to Oppo’s charger, but OnePlus’ execution, combined with its ecosystem, could make this a compelling accessory for users.
OnePlus Buds Pro 3 – New Sapphire Blue Color
Lastly, OnePlus has introduced a new color for its Buds Pro 3. Dubbed Sapphire Blue, this variant features a dark blue finish for both the case and earbuds, accented with silver highlights. While the internals remain identical to the existing black and gold models, the new color option adds a fresh aesthetic to OnePlus’ premium earbud lineup.
