What does OnePlus 13R leak reveals?
Based on the pictures, the phone appears to be boxy in shape. Its edges are rounded. However, compared to its predecessor, the OnePlus 12R, the back panel is very different. A spotlight and a triple camera system are housed on a circular island on the back panel of the 13R. The phone's display was also made public by the leak. The display appears to have a punch-hole design and a simple bezel.
The gadget has a thin design and incorporates the recently created Gorilla Glass 7i on the front and back to improve screen scratch resistance, according to information made public by OnePlus. It sports a small 8mm body with a flat screen and an aluminum frame. Conveniently, the power and volume rocker buttons are on the right edge, and the recognizable alert slider is on the left. The white version may have a pearl-like hue, whilst the black version has a matte surface.
