OnePlus 13 to launch globally January 2025, company confirms

OnePlus has announced an international release of the OnePlus 13 and the wait won’t be long. The company’s founder and CEO Pete Lau said in its community forum post that the OnePlus 13 will have a release window globally in January 2025.

While there’s no exact release date yet, it is expected to come in the first week of January — potentially going up against Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Series reveal.

However, a Philippine launch won’t likely happen until April 2025 — assuming they’d follow their previous release schedule. This year, the OnePlus 12 went global in January and only arrived locally in April 2024.

Aside from OnePlus’ next flagship unveiling, recent leaks suggest that the OnePlus 13R and OnePlus Watch 3 could also see a global release in early 2025.

To recall, the OnePlus 13 features the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC; a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display, and triple rear cameras: a 50-megapixel main with OIS, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto, and a 50-megapixel ultrawide.
