This strongly suggests the OnePlus 13 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, Qualcomm's latest flagship processor. This aligns with OnePlus's tradition of utilizing cutting-edge Snapdragon chips in their flagship phones. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 features custom Oryon CPU cores, which were previously seen in Snapdragon X PC chips.
It's worth noting that this initial launch is expected to be exclusive to China. Looking at past releases, the OnePlus 12 debuted in China in early December followed by a global launch in late January, while the OnePlus 11 was revealed in China in early January with a global launch a month later.
With the October launch just around the corner, we won't have to wait long to see if these leaks and rumors are accurate. It'll be interesting to see how the OnePlus 13 stacks up against other flagship Android phones expected to launch next month.
