Qualcomm is scheduled to announce its Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 this month, and shortly after, we expect the OnePlus 13 to go official. The device will be flaunting the chipset as part of its specifications, and likely sporting 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Apart from these, a new rumor claims that the flagship will be equipped with a large battery, with one individual sharing the capacity, wired and wireless charging speeds of the upcoming model.
OnePlus 13 battery could rely on the same ‘Glacier’ technology employed by one of the company’s previously launched handsets
A post on X by Yogesh Brar reveals the battery capacity of the OnePlus 13 to be a 6,000mAh unit. Typically, we have seen such cells getting featured in notably thicker gaming smartphones, with our recent review of the REDMAGIC 9S Pro shown to feature a mammoth 6,500mAh capacity. We expect the OnePlus 13 to be a relatively thin flagship, but how is the company supposed to reduce the thickness while using a massive battery? The answer lies in the underlying technology.
OnePlus may employ ‘Glacier’ battery technology as it did with the Ace 3 Pro, which is equipped with a 6,100mAh cell. For those who do not know, this technology comprises a new silicon carbide negative electrode material that helps to reduce the battery’s thickness while upping its capacity, leading to unrivaled runtimes. The OnePlus 13 may attempt to run circles around the competition when it comes to battery endurance, and it might even give the iPhone 16 Pro Max a run for its money.

However, topping up a 6,000mAh battery will take a few hours, but not with the OnePlus 13, as the tipster reveals the wired and wireless speeds as 100W and 50W, respectively. While these specifications look thoroughly promising, the company’s brand image has taken a toll as thousands of users have complained about the poor quality of its devices. From green lines appearing on the displays to the rear camera lens casually falling off, OnePlus really needs to exercise a closer check on its supply chain so the quality of its goods improves over time.
