OnePlus 13's camera module has been slightly tweaked and is now detached from the rest of the frame of the smartphone. Instead of appearing to be joined with the handset's chassis, it sits on the left as a distinct circle. The Hasselblad branding also looks to have been moved out of the camera unit and is now placed on the top right above a horizontal ornamental metal strip. Rest of the design appears very similar to its predecessor.
