OnePlus 13’s battery life could be a gamechanger — here’s why

The OnePlus 13 smartphone.

The OnePlus 13 is official (in China at least), and that means we know exactly what sort of specs will come to the phone when it launches in the rest of the world early next year. One of the things OnePlus has been open about for a while is the battery and charging specs, with the promise of a 6,000 mAh battery and 100W wired charging speeds for its new phone.

It all sounds very impressive, though it’s not exactly unprecedented. The OnePlus 12 offered a 5,400 mAh battery — a larger cell than you’d find inside phones from rivals like Apple and Samsung — alongside 100W charging in China and 80W everywhere else. There's also the fact the OnePlus 13 comes powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which should see a big upgrade to energy efficiency thanks to its 3nm design. (The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 inside the OnePlus 12 is a 4nm system-on-chip.)
