OnePlus has always been among the brands that sell phones almost instantly. On October 31st, we saw the OnePlus 13 launched in China celebrating OnePlus’ decade anniversary. Well, turns out OnePlus 13 First Sales made a remarkable sale to the magnitude of 100,000 units.
OnePlus 13 First Sales Breaks Record
According to Li Jie, the President of OnePlus China, the OnePlus 13 sold more than 100,000 units in 30 minutes post-launch. Although it is fairly common for OnePlus devices to reach record-breaking numbers, scoring a 100K units in 30 minutes is the new milestone.
OnePlus 13 is the latest flagship joining us just a few days ago. It is among the first to host the almighty Snapdragon 8 Elite, the fastest ever chipset bringing better performance. However,it comes with a hefty price tag on top that has led to an increase in price tag on the OnePlus 13. Interestingly, iQOO 13 was able to pack in the same beef without jacking in the price tag so that’s something you need to keep an eye on as well.

If you follow smartphone launches, you’d know that it isn’t the first time OnePlus has made a record. For instance, the OnePlus 12R sold out just hours after kicking up its first-day sale. In 2020, the Chinese smartphone maker became the first premium smartphone brand to sell 2 million plus units in a year in India.
OnePlus 13 has so far released in China only. Its global launch is speculated to happen in January 2025 taking up a stage ahead of Samsung Galaxy S25 Series. It will probably share the stage with OnePlus 13R, a rebranded OnePlus Ace 3, launching in China in December this year. OnePlus 13 First Sales in its home country does spike our expectations when it comes to its upcoming launch.
