OnePlus 13R: Rumored to Deviate from OnePlus Ace 5?

What Happened to the OnePlus Ace 4?

In Chinese culture, the number four is considered to be bad luck due to the similarities between the word for the number and the word for “death.” This fear is known as tetraphobia, and Oppo skipped the number four in its Find flagship series. OnePlus has also taken the same approach, going straight from the Ace 3 to the Ace 5 without releasing an Ace 4. This move has sparked curiosity, and now rumors suggest that the OnePlus 13R may not be a direct rebrand of the OnePlus Ace 5.

New Rumors: OnePlus 13R vs OnePlus Ace 5

According to OnePlus, the 6000mAh battery on the OnePlus 13R will be smaller than the 6400mAh battery on the Ace 5. Additionally, leaker Yogesh Brar has revealed that the OnePlus 13R will feature a telephoto camera, employing Samsung’s ISOCELL JN5 sensor, which will provide 2x optical zoom. This is a key difference between the two devices.

• Both devices will have a 50 MP main camera with Sony’s Lytia LYT-700 image sensor and an 8 MP Ultra-wide camera.
• The 16 MP front-facing cameras on the Ace 5 and the 13R will be the same.

Camera Leaks and Specifications

The camera specifications of the OnePlus 13R seem to debunk the assumption that the device would be a rebranded Ace 5.

What’s Next?

The OnePlus 13R is expected to become official during its global unveiling on January 7th. While it’s clear that the device will have some distinct features, OnePlus has yet to confirm any specifications. With rumors and leaks like these, anticipation is building up for the release of this device.
