OnePlus 13R camera upgrade

A tipster named Yogesh Brar has shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) claiming a major camera upgrade for the upcoming OnePlus 13R. The post highlighted that the smartphone will feature a triple camera setup consisting of a  50 MP Sony Lytia LYT-700 main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a new 50 MP telephoto with Samsung's ISOCELL JN5 sensor offering 2x optical zoom. Therefore, the OnePlus 13R has a new addition of a telephoto lens instead of a macro lens which was featured in last year's OnePlus 12R model. On the front, the smartphone is expected to come with a 16MP selfie camera.
