Here’s a detailed overview of the OnePlus 13s 5G Pro: specs, camera, battery backup, price & EMI options, pros & cons, and comparison with previous generation. If you like, I can also include a comparison with the “Pro” version (if/when OnePlus launches a 13s Pro) or similar phones.

Camera Details
- Main 50 MP sensor: Good for daylight shots, with optical image stabilization (OIS) which helps in low-light and night conditions. (mint)
- 50 MP Telephoto 2×: Useful for close-ups without losing much detail. Helps in portraits and moderate zoom situations. (mint)
- Video Capabilities: 4K @30/60fps with rear cameras; front camera also supports 4K @30fps. (GSM Arena Mobile)
- Front 32 MP: Good for selfies; wide-angle helps include more background or group selfies. (mint)
Battery Backup & Fast Charging
- Capacity: 5,850 mAh — relatively large for a phone with a 6.32-inch screen. (mint)
- Charging: 80 W wired fast charging (SuperVOOC) allows rapid top-ups. (mint)
- Real-life usage: With its efficient 3 nm chip, LTPO display, and optimisations, battery life is expected to be strong — likely full day or more under regular use (social media, video, calls). Under heavy use (gaming, video streaming) battery drain will be higher as usual. (Official figures support “longer battery life than many compact flagships” in similar use cases.) (OnePlus)
Price in India & EMI / Offers
| Variant | Launch Price* |
|---|---|
| 12 GB + 256 GB | ₹54,999 (OnePlus) |
| 12 GB + 512 GB | ₹59,999 (OnePlus) |
* At launch; actual street or sale prices may vary with offers, bank discounts, etc. (Gadgets 360)
EMI & Offers:
- No-cost EMI options are offered (often up to 9 months) via major banks and platforms. (mint)
- Bank discounts (instant) are also available around launch (e.g. ₹5,000 off) for certain bank cards. (mint)
- Exchange bonuses may apply on trading older phones. (mint)
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Compact flagship: Smaller size than many high-end phones, easier to hold one-handed. (OnePlus)
- Top-tier performance: Snapdragon 8 Elite built on 3 nm ensures high efficiency, good speed & thermal performance. (mint)
- Excellent display: LTPO AMOLED, 120Hz with good brightness and HDR/Vivid modes. (GSM Arena Mobile)
- Good camera setup: Dual 50 MP with OIS + telephoto gives versatility; front camera decent. (mint)
- Fast charging: 80W means quick recharges; battery capacity is quite generous for its size. (mint)
Cons
- No wireless charging: For many flagships, this is a missing feature. (GSM Arena Mobile)
- No 3.5 mm jack: Standard omission in high-end phones, but still may matter for some users. (GSM Arena Mobile)
- Premium price: Even though positioned between OnePlus 13 and 13R, it’s still expensive. (mint)
- IP rating modest: IP65 — resistant to water jets & dust, but less protection vs higher-rated phones (like IP68) which survive immersion. (Gadgets 360)
- Battery drain under heavy usage: While specs are excellent, if you game a lot or shoot video constantly, battery drain will be noticeable. (This is typical; not unique to this device.)
Comparison with Previous OnePlus Models (e.g. OnePlus 13, OnePlus 13R)
Here are some key differences and improvements over recent OnePlus phones, especially the OnePlus 13:
| Feature | OnePlus 13s | OnePlus 13 (recent flagship) |
|---|---|---|
| Size / Form Factor | More compact; ~6.32-inch display, lighter/better one-handed experience. (OnePlus) | 13 tends to be larger, with bigger screens and bulkier build. (Wikipedia) |
| Battery | 5,850 mAh with 80W charging in the 13s. (mint) | OnePlus 13 has slightly higher capacity (≈ 6,000 mAh) and sometimes better wireless charging options in some markets. (OnePlus) |
| Camera | Dual 50MP (wide + telephoto) on 13s — good balance. (mint) | The OnePlus 13 usually has a more elaborate camera setup (triple / quad sensors, ultra-wide, perhaps periscope or better zoom in Pro models). (Wikipedia) |
| Price Positioning | 13s is more affordable than top-end variants of the 13 / 13 Pro, targeting those who want flagship performance but in a smaller footprint. (mint) | OnePlus 13 Pro / top trims cost significantly more, especially with more RAM/Storage, better materials, wireless charging, etc. |
| Feature Trade-offs | 13s trades off certain “luxury” features (e.g. wireless charging, higher IP rating, perhaps more camera sensors) to maintain compactness & cost. | Standard 13 / Pro versions include those features, at the cost of size / price. |
