Another potential upgrade is a massive 6,000mAh battery, a significant jump from the 5,400mAh battery in the OnePlus 12. If true, this could translate to truly exceptional battery life, potentially exceeding two days on a single charge. With the expected efficiency improvements from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, the OnePlus 13 could be a battery life champion.
However, this impressive battery life might come at a cost. The same leak suggests that the OnePlus 13 might ditch wireless charging. This could be a controversial decision, especially since OnePlus reintroduced wireless charging with the OnePlus 12 after omitting it from the OnePlus 11. The reason for this potential removal is unclear, but it could be related to the space constraints of the larger battery.

It's important to note that these are still early rumors, and the final specifications of the OnePlus 13 could differ. We'll have to wait for official announcements from OnePlus to confirm these details. However, if these leaks are accurate, the OnePlus 13 could be shaping up to be an interesting and potentially polarizing device.
