OnePlus pushes AI boundaries with OnePlus 13s smartphone and OnePlus Pad 3 tablet launch

OnePlus has announced two major additions to its product portfolio: the OnePlus 13s smartphone and the OnePlus Pad 3 tablet. Unveiled today, the launch represents a significant step in OnePlus’s long-term strategy to build a seamless, AI-powered ecosystem designed to deliver fast, fluid, and intelligent digital experiences.

OnePlus 13s: Specs, software and cameras

The OnePlus 13s is positioned as a flagship smartphone packed into a compact, ergonomic design. It is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, bringing improved CPU and GPU performance with better energy efficiency. A 5,850mAh single-cell graphite battery, paired with 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging, ensures long-lasting use and quick top-ups.

OnePlus has introduced the S-structure design to address thermal and performance challenges in compact smartphones. This structure features a 4400mm² vapor chamber cooling system and enables better heat dissipation, stable connectivity, and extended battery life—all without compromising on portability.

In terms of connectivity, the OnePlus 13s is ready for India’s evolving digital infrastructure, offering support for 5.5G networks. It houses a 360-degree antenna system with 11 antennas and introduces India’s first independently integrated G1 Wi-Fi chipset for superior wireless stability. Its Smart Link System enhances network performance in real time, particularly in congested areas.

On the software side, the OnePlus 13s is enriched with built-in AI tools. Notably, the AI Call Assistant offers call summarization and live translation in multiple languages. The AI VoiceScribe extends this utility to popular apps like WhatsApp and Zoom. A new Plus Key, an evolution of the iconic Alert Slider, gives users customizable shortcuts for key functions, including OnePlus’s Plus Mind—a memory management tool set to gain intelligent categorization features in future updates.

Photography is another highlight, with the OnePlus 13s sporting a triple AF camera system that includes a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens, and a 32MP front camera. AI-powered features such as AI Reframe and AI Best Face 2.0 help enhance group shots and framing, while 4K Dolby Vision video recording brings cinematic quality to mobile videography.

The device will be available in three distinct finishes: India-exclusive Green Silk, classic Black Velvet, and a new Pink Satin variant. The Pink and Green editions also introduce Velvet Glass Technology, offering a luxurious, soft-touch feel that enhances the overall tactile experience.

OnePlus Pad 3: Specs and software

The OnePlus Pad 3 introduces a premium all-metal unibody design, measuring less than six millimeters in thickness. Its 13.2-inch display boasts a 3.4K resolution, 12-bit color depth, and a 315 PPI pixel density—ideal for immersive content consumption and high-end productivity. The unique 7:5 aspect ratio is optimized for multitasking.

Under the hood, the Pad 3 features the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and comes in two configurations: 12GB RAM + 256GB storage and 16GB RAM + 512GB storage. A massive 12,140mAh battery with 80W SUPERVOOC charging supports extended usage for work or play.

Running on OxygenOS 15, the Pad 3 includes AI-driven tools like AI Writer, AI Summarize, and Google features such as Gemini and Circle to Search. The upgraded Open Canvas function enables drag-and-drop multitasking and smart app pairing for split-screen use.
