OnePlus just dropped a power move in India with a beefier version of its compact flagship. The OnePlus 13s now comes in a 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant priced at Rs 68,999. You can grab it from Amazon India and the OnePlus India store in Black Velvet and Green Silk colours. This is the highest-end config the 13s has seen yet, joining the existing 12GB plus 256GB at Rs 54,999 and 12GB plus 512GB at Rs 59,999 options.
The extra RAM is OnePlus's bet to keep the 13s competitive. More memory means smoother multitasking and better app performance overall. It's a smart move because the compact flagship market is heating up, and OnePlus knows buyers who want serious power sometimes need convincing. The raw specs remain unchanged across all variants, so you're really paying for that RAM and storage bump.
The 13s itself is a neat phone if you're tired of massive displays. The 6.32 inch LTPO AMOLED screen runs at 1.5K resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate, and it hits 1,600 nits brightness which is seriously bright. The Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset from 2024 still crushes performance, and the 5,850mAh battery with 80W charging keeps you moving. You get dual 50MP cameras (main plus 2x optical zoom telephoto), a 32MP selfie cam, and OxygenOS 15 with six years of security updates.
The 16GB variant walks a tight rope though. At Rs 68,999, you're getting into pricing where other compact options like the OPPO Reno 16 exist. The Reno 16 edges out the 13s for camera quality if that matters to you. But if raw performance and the combination of RAM and storage appeal to you, the 13s 16GB makes a solid argument. It's one of those moves that tests whether OnePlus can convince users that more RAM justifies the premium.
