While the company has yet to disclose any formal information regarding the OnePlus 13, it remains uncertain if the device will maintain the circular rear camera module characteristic of its predecessors due to the presence of the protective casing in the leaked image.
OnePlus 13 Camera Upgrades (Leaked)
The tipster has indicated that the OnePlus 13 will feature an enhanced periscope camera sensor. While no additional specifics on the camera hardware have been disclosed, it has been mentioned that the upcoming device will adopt the same image processing algorithm used in the anticipated Oppo Find X8 series, which is expected to launch in China next month.
The combination of an advanced periscope camera, coupled with Oppo‘s image processing technology and OnePlus‘ collaboration with Hasselblad, may position the OnePlus 13 as a leading competitor in the smartphone photography segment, at least on paper.
