OnePlus 13R in the UK and EU will likely ship without a charger
Less than a day before the presentation of the new OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R models, an unboxing video of the OnePlus 13R has appeared. The video shows that the smartphone in the UK and EU is likely to not come with a charger.
Here's What We Know
This seems to be due to new regulations from the European Commission, which allowed the sale of electronic devices without chargers to reduce e-waste. As a result, the box with OnePlus 13R will be much more compact compared to other markets where a charger is included.
A video posted on the X platform by SuperSaf (Safwan AhmedMia) shows that the OnePlus 13R comes in the familiar red box that the company has been using for its smartphones in recent years. However, the box looks much thinner, which indicates the absence of an important accessory - the charger. During the unboxing, it also became known that the package includes only a USB-C to USB-A cable, without a charger.

The official OnePlus UK website confirms that the OnePlus 13R will not come with a charger. The pre-order page shows a symbol confirming that there is no charger in the box.

However, for other countries, such as India and North America, the OnePlus 13R will come in a larger box with a charger. This means that European and British buyers will receive the smartphone without charging, but users from other regions will be able to get the full set.
Information on the OnePlus 13 also suggests that this smartphone may not come with a charger for the UK and EU. However, for those who pre-order the OnePlus 13, the company is offering bonuses, including the OnePlus SUPERVOOC 120W Dual Port GaN charger. It's important to note that this offer is limited to a certain number of gifts for pre-order customers.
This news is not accurate information, as we should wait for announcements from the company before official confirmation.
