OnePlus 13s Gets a New 16GB RAM Variant in India, But Is the Rs. 68,999 Price Worth It?

OnePlus has expanded the OnePlus 13s line-up in India with a new 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant. The phone itself was first launched in India in June 2025, but this fresh top-end version gives buyers one more choice if they want more memory and storage in a compact flagship phone.

The new OnePlus 13s 16GB variant is priced at Rs. 68,999 in India. It keeps the same design and core hardware as the earlier models, but now sits above the 12GB RAM versions. For users who multitask heavily, record lots of videos, play games or keep many apps open, this extra RAM and storage may feel useful.

What is new in OnePlus 13s 16GB variant

The main change is memory. The new OnePlus 13s variant comes with 16GB RAM and 512GB internal storage. Earlier, the phone was available in 12GB RAM with 256GB storage and 12GB RAM with 512GB storage options.

This new version is aimed at users who want a more future-ready device. For example, if you edit reels, switch between work apps, play BGMI or Genshin Impact, and store many photos or videos, 512GB storage gives more breathing room.

Price and availability in India

The OnePlus 13s 16GB RAM variant is priced at Rs. 68,999. It is available through the OnePlus India website and Amazon.

Buyers may also get bank offers, including up to Rs. 2,000 discount on select cards and no-cost EMI options, depending on the platform and offer period. These offers can change, so checking the final checkout price is always better.

Key features of OnePlus 13s

The OnePlus 13s comes with a 6.32-inch ProXDR LTPO AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. The smaller screen size is one of its biggest selling points because many flagship phones today feel too large for one-hand use.

The phone runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is Qualcomm’s high-end processor. In simple words, it is built for fast performance, gaming, AI features and smooth daily use.

It packs a 5850mAh battery with 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging. That is impressive for a compact phone. OnePlus also highlights its cooling system, which should help during gaming or long video recording sessions.

Camera, software and design

For cameras, the OnePlus 13s gets a dual rear camera setup with a 50MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto camera. On the front, it has a 32MP selfie camera.

The device runs OxygenOS based on Android 15. OnePlus has also added AI features such as AI Plus Mind, AI Search, translation tools and call-related smart features. These are useful if you use your phone for work, notes, travel or quick content handling.

The phone is available in colours such as Black Velvet, Green Silk and Pink Satin, though colour availability may depend on the variant and seller.

Competitors in this price range

At around Rs. 68,999, the OnePlus 13s competes with phones like iQOO 13, Samsung Galaxy S24 series models, Vivo X-series devices and even the regular OnePlus 13 after discounts.

The OnePlus 13s is best for buyers who want flagship power in a compact body. But if you want a larger screen, wireless charging or a more versatile camera system, checking rivals before buying is sensible.
