OnePlus 13 Could Be the First Phone with Snapdragon 8 Elite in Nepal!

OnePlus has updated its flagship offering with the newest Qualcomm processor, a gigantic battery, and a triple 50MP camera setup.

What is the Price of OnePlus 13 in Nepal?

OnePlus has yet to announce its newest phone in the Nepali market. However, given that they have been an annual starter, we can expect the phone to indeed launch in our country. The price will require some guesswork though.

OnePlus 13 recently went live in India with a starting price of INR 69,999. Based on that, we expect the OnePlus 13 price in Nepal to start at Rs. 1,22,999 for the 12/256GB trim.

Let’s see what the OnePlus 13 has to offer.

OnePlus 13 Overview

Design

The OnePlus 13 comes with flat mid-frames and quad-curved design. In other words, the edges on this phone are ever so slightly curved — 2.5D curved, if you will.

The phone boasts an IP68 as well as an IP69 rating and a Ceramic Guard screen covering to boost its durability.

It is available in Midnight Ocean, Arctic Dawn, and Black Eclipse colour options. The former flaunts micro-fibre vegan leather on its back panel. The material choice makes it a bit thicker, but lighter than its compatriots. Meanwhile, the other two options have glass slabs on their backs.

This phone also has an iconic slider on the side that allows you to toggle between sound modes.

Display

Panel-wise, the OnePlus 13 has a 6.82-inch AMOLED stretching 2K/QHD+ (1,440 x 3,168 pixels) in resolution maintaining 510PPI pixel density.

The display can reach a peak brightness of 4,500 nits and has a DC dimming feature which adjusts the brightness level based on your usage.

Similarly, the switch between different levels of smoothness ranges from 1 to 120Hz. The colours must be pretty vibrant with 100% P3 coverage and 10-bit depth.

In the meantime, the OnePlus 13 comes with Aqua Touch 2.0, which offers touch responsive when your hands are covered in water or oil, and even when you are wearing gloves.

The green line issue has run rampant on OnePlus devices recently and the company knows it. They are offering a lifetime warranty for this issue, in India at least. We will have to wait and see if the Nepali audience will get to enjoy any similar privileges.

Hardware

For its processing prowess, this phone relies on Qualcomm’s latest flagship offering i.e. the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This chipset is one of the most capable silicon in the market right now able to smoothly run games like Genshin Impact, which previously tested the limits of mobile chips.

Rest assured, raw power won’t be an issue on this phone.

Other than that, the OnePlus 13 ships in configurations with up to 24GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. However, it might only arrive in a single configuration in Nepal just like its predecessor which was only available in a single 16/512GB trim.

The battery on this phone takes a significant jump to 6,000mAh from 5,400mAh last year. It is a dual-cell silicon anode battery which has a higher power density than traditional lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, it supports 100W SUPERVOOC (wired) and 50W AIRVOOC (wireless) charging as well.

Cameras

The optics department is equally stacked on the OnePlus 13. It has a triple 50MP setup on the back and a 32MP snapper with the Sony IMX615 sensor on the front.

The main and telephoto lenses are coupled with Sony sensors as well. More specifically, the LYT-808 and LYT-600 sensors respectively. These cameras also have ALC lens coating on top which helps reduce reflections and glares on images.

The ultrawide shooter on the other hand is paired with a Samsung S5KJN5 sensor and does not have any such coating.

Atop all this hardware, OnePlus is also utilising software magic to add details, and rid motion blurs/glass reflections to better the photos taken.

The phone can also record 8K@30fps and Dolby Vision 4K@60fps videos.

Software and Features

The OnePlus 13 boots on Oxygen 15.0 based on Android 15, which is apparently the lightest OS from OnePlus so far. The phone has some very interesting features.

Firstly, there is the “BeaconLink” — a walkie-talkie-like feature, which was also available on the Oppo Reno12 F that recently made it into the Nepali market.

Then there is the “Intelligent Search” that understands information from on-device files and notes allowing you to search for it using prompts. This feature is currently exclusive to OnePlus 13 and 13R.

Other than that, we get a bunch of AI features seen on other devices such as Circle to Search, text composition and rewriting, and so on.

Then there are some iPhone-related features too like seamlessly sharing files with O+ Connect and “Dynamic Island” knock-off.

While the software features are great and all, as of now, it is unclear how many years of updates the phone will receive.

OnePlus 13 Price in Nepal and Availability

The OnePlus flagship launched on 8 January 2025 in India for a starting price of INR 69,999. There, it is available in 12/256GB, 16/512GB, and 24GB/1TB trims.

It might arrive sometime next month in Nepal, but we might not see such wide configurations.

Looking at the Indian price, we expect the OnePlus 13 price in Nepal to start at Rs. 1,22,999.

The OnePlus 13 is a standard flagship phone with a great display, a super-powerful processor, and a massive battery. Despite these premium features, its price is significantly lower than other companies’ flagship offerings. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a full-fledged flagship experience without breaking the bank.
