OnePlus has officially set a launch date for its next little phone after weeks of speculation. Officially, the OnePlus 13s will launch on June 5 in India and perhaps other international regions as well.
The specifications of this new handset should be fairly similar to those of the OnePlus 13T, which was released in China under a different name. However, certain changes are anticipated for buyers worldwide.

The color choices, for instance, will differ slightly. The 13s may be available in Black, Pink, and Green for global markets, whereas the 13T was only available in China in Black, Pink, and Grey.
But below, you’re looking at the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the same potent chip as was used in the OnePlus 13 and, in fact, in Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series. For a small phone at this price range, OnePlus may offer configurations with up to 16 GB of RAM and a whopping 1 TB of storage.
Speaking of little, it has a 6.32-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2640 x 1216 and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. With a massive 6,260mAh battery and support for 80W fast charging, the battery life should be outstanding despite its compact size. Regarding cameras, you will receive the following:

However, it’s also important to note that a new button known as the Plus Key will be replacing the outdated Alert Slider. This new button, which resembles the Action Button on the iPhone, first appeared on the 13T. It’s much more customizable than just a mute switch these days; you can program it to open the camera, turn on the flashlight, activate silent mode, and more.
Although the price is yet unknown, the OnePlus 13s should be priced aggressively, particularly in India, given that the 13T was released in China for about $466. This one is looking like a strong candidate for the title of best little Android phone of the year thanks to its premium hardware, stylish design, and reasonable price.
