What is it?

The 13 S compact, AI-powered flagship smartphone made for India.

Why is it cool?

Because it packs top-tier hardware into a truly pocketable design — and adds a dose of smartness. The OnePlus 13 S comes with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a vivid 6.32-inch AMOLED display, dual 50 MP cameras, and a massive 5850 mAh battery. But what really makes it stand out is the new Plus Key, a physical button that unlocks OnePlus’ AI suite called Plus Mind. From summarising notes to scraping text from images and syncing thoughts across apps, it’s the closest your phone’s come to thinking for you.

Is it expensive?

At Rs. 54,999, it’s a premium one, yes — but it offers more brains and style than most flagships at this price. In other words, smart money gets the smart phone.
