OnePlus 13 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

OnePlus 13 - improvements in every aspect

The Chinese company OnePlus definitely knows how to make excellent flagship smartphones, which it has proven to its fans many times. However, the last two phones turned out to be good, but still far from ideal, which is why some users voted with their wallets for the decisions of their opponents. However, the hero of today's review corrects the mistakes of its predecessors and has every chance of becoming a bestseller.

The appearance of the new product has been noticeably updated. The modified block of photo modules on the rear glass panel and even thinner display frames catch the eye. The metal edging of the case has not disappeared anywhere, the thickness of the monoblock has decreased, while full moisture protection according to IP68 / IP69 standards has appeared. The 6.82-inch AMOLED panel will please not only with a built-in fingerprint scanner, but also with an amazingly bright, detailed and smooth image. For such achievements, it is necessary to praise the impressive resolution of 3168x1440 pixels, 120-hertz refresh rate, brightness reserve of almost 4500 nits. Of course, the screen is also characterized by an effective oleophobic layer.

The technical characteristics are the most powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite (Gen 4) processor to date, 12/16/24 GB of RAM and the Adreno 830 graphics adapter. Fantastic three million points in the AnTuTu benchmark indicate that the buyer will not notice even minimal lags in the Android 15 OS (OxygenOS and ColorOS shells depending on the region). Of course, the performance is more than enough for any modern games, which will include Fortnite, Diablo Immortal, Zenless Zone Zero and others. Everything functions perfectly at maximum graphics settings. The flagship is equipped with a corresponding volume of ROM, which reaches 256/512/1024 GB. Autonomy has also improved thanks to the use of a 6000 mAh battery. You will have to look for sockets or power banks once every couple of days, there is a fast wired charge of 100 W and its wireless alternative of 50 W.

The photographic capabilities are also beyond criticism. The main large 50-megapixel Sony LYT808 sensor with hybrid stabilization is complemented by a LYT600 telephoto lens with a three-fold optical zoom and a wide-angle Samsung ISOCELL JN5 lens of the same 50 MP. The cameras easily cope with complex shooting scenarios, blurring and a drop in detail are almost invisible even in night shots. Loud and rich stereo sound, an IR port for controlling household appliances, NFC and 5G support complete the list of advantages of the device, which you just want to buy for yourself.
