OnePlus 13 Global and India Launch Teased: Expected in January 2025 with New Accessories
Realme took the throne by being the first to launch a Snapdragon 8 Elite smartphone “Realme GT 7 Pro” outside China in India. Next in line is the iQOO 13, set to launch on December 3rd in the Indian market. Now, OnePlus has joined the list by teasing the launch of OnePlus 13 both globally and in India.
According to the promo page, it will come in three colour options: Midnight Ocean, Black Eclipse, and Arctic Dawn. Also on the Indian Promo page, the last date written is December 17th with the tagline “step into the future”. While other details remain under wraps, the device is expected to share similar specifications with its Chinese variant.

Interestingly, despite OnePlus teasing the launch, a community post confirms it will take place in January 2025, though an exact date remains unknown. Meanwhile, tipster Yogesh Brar suggests that the OnePlus 13 series, including the OnePlus 13R, will debut in January 2025. He also mentioned that new accessories, such as earbuds and a smartwatch, are expected to launch alongside the series, although specific details about these accessories were not disclosed.
One notable detail is that only the OnePlus 13 has been spotted on the Indian BIS certification, not the 13R. This raises the question: will only the OnePlus 13 be launching in India? We’ll have to wait and see what OnePlus has in store for the Indian fan base.
