OnePlus 13s Launched in India: The OnePlus 13s has gone on sale officially in India for ₹54,999. By this price point, OnePlus plans to offer the flagship experience at a remarkably affordable price—particularly given that it is powered by the new 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. The phone comes in Green Silk, Black Velvet, and an exclusive Pink Satin finish for the 256GB model. The phone packs both power and polish in a small package.
In place of the Alert Slider, OnePlus presents the Plus Key, a user-customisable button that also serves as a portal to in-device AI functionality. Press it long enough, and the phone will scan your screen for contextual highlights, intelligent suggestions, and shortcuts to apps such as reminders and calendars.

AI Gets Personal
Aside from hardware, OnePlus is going all-in on AI. The 13 is pre-installed with Google Gemini as the voice assistant, and customers receive 3 months of Google AI Pro and 2TB of cloud storage as a launch package. Circle to Search is natively supported, and the AI Call Assistant is optimised for third-party apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram—indeed, even Hindi.
For photography, light users will enjoy the adaptable dual 50 MP rear shooters, and the 32 MP front-facing camera takes care of selfies and video calls effortlessly.
