A few years ago, it introduced a Rain Water Touch feature in the OnePlus 12 and Ace 2 Pro.
The OnePlus 13 will have three colorways: Arctic Dawn, Black Eclipse and Midnight Ocean, with the latter also being the first phone to use micro-fiber vegan leather. And the Arctic Dawn edition has a new glass coating that resists finger smudges — apparently another first in the industry, according to OnePlus.said the two automakers are planning to sign a memorandum of understanding to sort out shared equity stakes in a new holding company.
