Remember the OnePlus 7T? That phone had a camera module that just *worked*. It was centered, sleek, and didn’t try to be anything it wasn’t. Now, whispers on the internet suggest that OnePlus might be returning to this design philosophy with the upcoming OnePlus 13. And honestly? I’m all for it.
See, I’ve been a OnePlus fan since the early days. I loved their focus on clean design and performance, and the 7T was a high point for me. The camera was great, the software was snappy, and the design felt like a breath of fresh air. But then things started to change.
Don’t get me wrong, the OnePlus 12 is a fantastic phone. But when I saw the camera module shifted to the side, it felt like…well, like everyone else. It lost that unique OnePlus charm, that sense of individuality.
Now, these leaks are still early. Nothing’s confirmed. But the possibility of a centered, wider camera module on the OnePlus 13 gets me excited. It feels like OnePlus is listening, like they’re remembering what made their phones special in the first place.
Plus, a wider module could mean better cameras! The leaks say the camera specs might be similar to the OnePlus 12, but I’m hoping for some upgrades. Maybe a larger sensor, improved low-light performance, who knows?
But even if the cameras stay the same, just going back to that classic centered design is a win in my book. It shows that OnePlus isn’t afraid to stick to what works, to prioritize design that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
We still have a while to go before the OnePlus 13 is officially unveiled, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that these leaks are accurate. OnePlus, if you’re listening, please bring back the magic of the 7T. Give us a phone that’s powerful, beautiful, and undeniably OnePlus.
