OnePlus is holding an international launch event on January 7, when it will announce the OnePlus 13 for global markets. The company has also confirmed that the OnePlus 13R will be joining it and shared the image you can see below.
Long believed to be a mere rebranding of the upcoming OnePlus Ace 5 for China, the OnePlus 13R will differ from that model in at least one area – battery capacity (that is, if the leaks we’ve seen so far about the Ace 5 have been accurate).

OnePlus says the 13R will have a 6,000 mAh battery, matching the capacity of the flagship OnePlus 13. This is however less than was rumored for the OnePlus Ace 5.
Anyway, OnePlus has also confirmed that the 13R will have a flat screen with Gorilla Glass 7i on top (and also on the back), and an aluminum frame. The phone will be offered internationally in two colorways: Nebula Noir and Astral Trail (the latter pictured above). The OnePlus 13R will be 8mm thick.
At the event next month, the two phones will be joined by a new color for the already available OnePlus Buds Pro 3: Sapphire Blue (portrayed in the image above).
