OnePlus 13 China launch date, design, colours revealed; device spotted at an eSports event | Tech Tips
OnePlus has confirmed the China launch date, design, and three colour choices of the OnePlus 13. This news follows the phone’s appearance in all its colours at a Chinese eSports event called Peacekeeper Elite 2024. So, let’s there is a lot to unpack here. Let’s first read the launch date, then, gather what to expect from the event based on the leaks (including the eSports one).
OnePlus 13 launch date
OnePlus 13 will launch in China on October 31st at 4:00 PM CST (or November 1st, 1:30 PM IST). That’s a month earlier than when the OnePlus 12 debuted. This is possible because the Snapdragon flagship chip (expected to power the OnePlus phone) would also launch earlier this year.
In its launch date announcement post via Weibo, OnePlus calls the OnePlus 13 “Super Pro in every way”.
The company has also shown off the OnePlus 13 renders and described the colour details.
OnePlus 13 colours, design
The three variants are Obsidian Black, Blue Moment, and White Dew Morning Dawn. The black one has already leaked a few days back and the design (as per these official images) matches the render that was part of that leak.

Coming to the design, unlike the OnePlus 12 rear camera island, the 13’s rear camera panel is not joined to the side frame. There seem to be three camera sensors and a flashlight module sitting within four cutouts on that island.
The Hasselblad ‘H’ logo is present to the right of the camera panel. There is a lustrous line beneath the H, literally underlining the camera enhancements imparted by Hasselblad. OnePlus China chief Louis Jie stresses the many “industry firsts” in this phone like the Hasselblad imaging and a new BOE X2 display.
