OnePlus recently unveiled the OnePlus 13T, designed as a high-end compact smartphone. However, this announcement was limited to the Chinese market, leading to speculation about whether a global variant would be introduced. Excitingly, it has been confirmed that the first global model will arrive under a different name: the OnePlus 13s. The OnePlus 13s serves as the counterpart to the OnePlus 13T, specifically targeting India and potentially other international markets.

OnePlus India has shared images of the device, officially linking the new name to the phone along with a ‘coming soon’ message. This launch signals a step towards a broader release, hinting at possible availability in various markets beyond India. Technical details contribute to the anticipation surrounding the OnePlus 13s. The device features a 6.32-inch display and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, matching the specifications of the OnePlus 13T.

Despite OnePlus not explicitly stating this, the similarities suggest that the OnePlus 13s is essentially the OnePlus 13T rebranded. Many potential buyers are eager to know if the OnePlus 13s will be available in the US or Europe. Currently, there is uncertainty regarding its launch in these regions. OnePlus has previously limited the release of certain devices to China and India, and the 13s could follow suit.

However, it is reasonable to speculate on a European launch, while the complexity of trade tariffs may hinder a US release. If OnePlus has plans to introduce the device in Europe or the US, further announcements are likely to follow soon. Enthusiasts are hopeful that this new smartphone will reach a wider audience, expanding the reach of the OnePlus brand.
