OnePlus 13R has appeared on the GCF (Global Certification Forum) website lately, and it has indicated that perhaps its release date may be around the corner. Though this OnePlus 13R certification speaks more about connectivity, it does hint at a soon-to-be-released addition to OnePlus’s lineup. So, with the hype generated over the recent launch of the OnePlus 13, the public may now look at the cheaper, yet totally feature-rich sibling OnePlus 13R.
OnePlus 13R certification reveals model number and connectivity
According to this GCF listing, revealed by MySmartPrice, the model number of the OnePlus 13R is viewed with CPH2645. This seems to be an all-new device in preparation for the official launch. From the GCF listing, a few connections for the OnePlus 13R are as follows:
- 2G GSM
- 3G WCDMA
- 4G LTE (both FDD and TDD)
- 5G Support: With compatibility across multiple bands including n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n20, n28, n38, n40, n48, n66, n77, and n78
Rumored specifications
Display: On the display front, it is expected to feature an amazing high-resolution 1.5K display size, though its size is yet confirmed. In case of the trend which its predecessor, OnePlus 12R kept a 6.78-inch screen, we can expect the same size giving an immersive view.
Processor: The phone will probably be running Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. With enhanced smooth performance and increased power efficiency, the use of applications, games, and multitasking will be seamless.
Camera Setup: Leaks indicate that camera department improves as well. The device may feature dual camera setup with a 50MP Sony IMX906 main sensor and 50MP Samsung JN1 telephoto lens to capture more detailed and qualitative photos.
Battery Life: Rumors indicate that the smartphone will have a 6,000mAh battery, bigger than the 5,500mAh found inside the OnePlus 12R. Together with the power efficiency improvements the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip brings along, customers can also look forward to extended usage with longer battery life.
Possible rebranding of the OnePlus Ace 5
This is now speculated that possibly the OnePlus 13R could be just another rebranded OnePlus Ace 5 when the latter does make its China launch before the year’s final date. One of OnePlus’ trends has been to sell the R-series devices as rebranded versions of Ace models in global markets, thus giving OnePlus the opportunity to reach more customers by brandishing known existing technology from domestically-launched pieces.
With the recent GCF certification of the OnePlus 13R, its global release will soon be announced. The phone is expected to provide flag-level performance in an affordable price tag.
