OnePlus officially announces the launch date for the OnePlus 13 smartphone and a new color option for the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 earbuds on January 7, 2025. The OnePlus 13 will be available in three colors: Black Eclipse, Arctic Dawn, and Midnight Ocean, featuring a unique micro-fiber vegan leather on the Midnight Ocean model. The phone boasts IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, OxygenOS 15 over Android 15, and a 1Hz-120Hz variable refresh rate 2K display with 4,500 nits peak brightness.
It’s official: the OnePlus 13 will launch on January 7, 2025. Preempting the anticipated event by several weeks, OnePlus has officially confirmed the date we’ll see its next major smartphone release outside of China. Additionally, it has revealed some key features and news of a surprise new launch to go along with the phone.
OnePlus will release the OnePlus 13 in three different colors — Black Eclipse, Arctic Dawn, and Midnight Ocean. It’s the latter that is likely to be the model to have, as it is wrapped in a material called micro-fiber vegan leather, which is apparently corrosion and scratch-resistant but still luxurious to the touch. For the Arctic Dawn phone, the glass will have a special coating to give it a silky-smooth finish.

If you’re wondering why you need both, the answer is you probably don’t, but the IP69 rating does protect against high-power jets of water and water at higher temperatures, so hot drinks won’t be a problem, and you can happily use the phone in the shower, too.
The final teased specification relates to the screen, which OnePlus states will have a variable refresh rate between 1Hz and 120Hz, a 2K resolution, and a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. What about the other surprise? Also, during the launch event, a new set of OnePlus Buds Pro 3 earbuds will launch, this time in a Sapphire Blue color to match the Midnight Ocean OnePlus 13. January 7 isn’t just the launch date either, as in the U.K.
