OnePlus 13 can be located using Find My Device even when it's turned off
Google's Find My Device network took quite a while to get going, but is now in full swing, and the company's own Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 series even support being located through Find My Device when they're powered off. That's obviously a very nifty feature to have in case your phone gets stolen since a lot of thieves will attempt to turn off the device once they've snagged it, in order to avoid exactly this - being found. And now OnePlus has joined the party.
The OnePlus 13 has been confirmed to also support being located through Find My Device even when turned off. You can see the "You can locate this phone with Find My Device even when powered off" message in the power menu, and in the Find My Device network settings page there's an additional confirmation.
This functionality is made possible by the use of Qualcomm's FastConnect 7900 system inside the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. FastConnect 7900 supports Powered Off Finding, but it's up to the device maker to implement the feature. Thankfully, OnePlus did. We're not sure that justifies the $100 price hike compared to the OnePlus 12, but it's definitely a neat addition.
