The OnePlus 13R has been announced to arrive on the global stage in less than a month, along with the OnePlus 13, on January 7. But a pre-release Amazon India page for the phone (still live at the time of writing) has spoiled a few currently unannounced features, including the 13R using a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
With the OnePlus 12R using a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, it makes sense that OnePlus would update to the next newest model in the lineup. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is a great piece of silicon, and the best chipset of this year in terms of Android phones. But the Snapdragon 8 Elite is already here to replace it, and has already been confirmed to power the OnePlus 13.
