OnePlus 13 rumored to get an innovative new curved display
Both OnePlus and OPPO will adopt micro quad-curved displays for their future flagships and mid-rangers.
OnePlus returned to form with 2024’s OnePlus 12, which turned out to be an exceptional Android smartphone at $800. Only the handset’s IP65 rating raised some eyebrows.
That said, the company’s next flagship handset, the OnePlus 13 is already rumored to shake up the lineup with a radical redesign. And according to a new leak, the Micro Quad-Curved display will be a part of this redesign.
The revelation came through a recent exchange in X/Twitter from the tipster Yogesh Brar. The tipster tweeted a response to a claim that OPPO’s next flagship, the Find X8 Ultra, will use a Micro Quad-Curved display.
Brar stated that OPPO, alongside its sister company OnePlus, will use Micro Quad-Curved panels in the future on both flagship and mid-range handsets.
What does this mean for the OnePlus 13?
We have a long way to go for OnePlus 13’s launch. However, the rumor mill has already started spitting out OnePlus 13 rumors, including a recent one that suggested the next OnePlus flagship would get a radical redesign, finally eliminating its circular camera island.
The rumored Micro Quad-Curved panel will likely be a part of that redesign.
While there’s no official word, we presume the phrase describes a display curved on all sides.
We are already familiar with displays with curved side edges and now imagine the curved extended to the top and bottom, providing an almost bezel-less look.
Now, there probably won’t be any functional benefits to this new display, but there will be a wow factor.
Interestingly, the leak states that OnePlus will adopt the Micro Quad-Curved panels for both its flagships and mid-range phones.
While we don’t see OnePlus’s Nord series phone adopting these panels, the OnePlus R series is a completely different matter.
The OnePlus R series phones have always been pretty close to the flagships, with slight differences in hardware and price. So, there’s a chance the OnePlus 13R will adopt the same panel, following the lead of the flagship, the OnePlus 13.
Either way, it’s still too early to come to a conclusion but we are hopeful that new leaks will come to light soon, painting a clearer image of OnePlus’s upcoming smartphones.
