OnePlus 13 Preorder Deal: Last Chance to Score Free Smartwatch or Earbuds With Your Next Upgrade

CES 2025 starts this week and OnePlus is set to unveil its latest flagship phone: the OnePlus 13. Ahead of that reveal, the company is enticing early adopters to take the preorder plunge by throwing in other OnePlus devices worth as much as $300 for free, such as a smartwatch or set of earbuds, when you put down $50 towards the new phone. You'll also get an extra $50 discount off your final purchase price for as much as $350 in savings.

So how does this process work, exactly? Essentially, you put $50 down before the OnePlus 13 is unveiled on Jan. 7, 2025. You'll then be able to take that $50 and an extra $50 off the device during the preorder window. The freebies on offer include the OnePlus Watch 2, OnePlus Watch 2R and OnePlus Buds Pro 3. It's worth noting that the one of the OnePlus Watch 2 preorder incentives has already sold out, proving its popularity, though the black steel model is still available.

So, what's the catch? For starters, we don't yet know exactly what the launch price of the OnePlus 13 is going to be, and that won't be revealed until Jan. 7 -- at which point it will be too late to get in on this campaign. The same goes for the exact specs, which are likely to be broadly similar to the Chinese version of the phone but are as-yet unconfirmed. The free accessories are all limited in supply too, so you'll want to get in on this promo as soon as possible if you want to lock in your preferred added extra. 

It's important to note that you can get your $50 back if you change your mind. Simply cancel your order during the deposit stage (before Jan. 7) and you'll get your refund. If you aren't impressed by the phone or price after its unveiling and don't pay the remaining balance by Jan. 13, your order will be canceled and you'll get your $50 deposit refunded, according to OnePlus' terms and conditions. You will also be able to trade in eligible devices for further credit during the final payment stage if you decide to go ahead.

Why this deal matters

New phones tend to be pricey, and it's hard to stay on the cutting edge while scoring a good deal. While the OnePlus 13 isn't yet tried and tested, previous phones are generally a good indicator and we have faith in the OnePlus brand. So, a deal that not only takes money off but also nets you some solid accessories is a good one.
