OnePlus has confirmed that it will continue to partner with the Chinese display maker BOE for its device, launching next month.
OnePlus’s flagship phones are among the best Android phones in the business and are loaded with top-of-the-line hardware specifications. These devices are generally launched at the start of the year.
This year, however, we might see the OnePlus 13 arriving way ahead of schedule. According to an announcement by OnePlus’s President Li Jie on Weibo, a device featuring BOE’s next-gen display will “officially meet with everyone next month.”
Per the post, OnePlus will continue to sport a BOE OLED panel on its upcoming smartphone. However, according to Jie, the second-generation panel produced by BOE will be brighter than the predecessor and offer eye protection.
For those wondering, the OnePlus 12’s display boasted 1,600 and 4,500 nits for peak brightness. Based on what the OnePlus executive has shared, the upcoming device will promise a brighter display than this.
