OnePlus 13 to be more expensive than the OnePlus 12

31 October 2024
Component costs have increased.

Guys calm down the price will go down in 3 months and the price will be fair but still we have to remember that there is still inflation so that might explain a little bit of the price hike although 16/512 price does feel like OnePlus being greedy because that's the version that sells the most

    If they go above €1000 in the western countries, they won't have a chance against Apple and Samsung.

      This device is so bulky that it does not matter for me how much it costs: 2 dollar or 2000 dollars. I'm not buying it anyway, those who do, will accept the cost.

Even though the prices of base variant is not increasing that much, the prices of the practical variants are going up much faster. We seem to be going the way of car pricing where the base variant is pretty useless but has very low sticker price.

        The only thing that was left for Oneplus to do here was to launch a 8GB/128GB model at 4299 Yuan. :D

          Based on this, and granted the 13 is the better phone, but I think the OnePlus 12 will stick out as the turning point when OnePlus came back as a true flagship killer. Let's hope they don't stray too far off and we are back where we were 4 years ago.

I consider the Oneplus 12 to be the best phone of 2024/last product cycle and even i know when to stop the glazing and look at the facts.

            We're gonna get another price hike on phones overall, by 2030 im sure 1200 will be considered flagship killer pricing. Thank the brainless consumers for that who support this.

              The only advantage chinese phones had was the price. I don't know why people still buying them. Though honestly I don't see anyone owning them, just a lot of talk.

                Galaxy S 24 Ultra, 31 Oct 2024Do you understand that OnePlus 13 24 GB RAM 1 TB, 120 Hz 2K... morethis is chinese pricing, 900 dollars in china. The 12 256 gb oneplus 12 was 605 dollars in china and costed 800 dollars globally. a 33% increase or 200 dollar increase. If we apply that to the Oneplus 13 it'll be 1200 dollars. Not bad pricing for a 1 TB model tbh but still, my point was that the middle variants have HUGE price hikes for no reason.

                  Galaxy S 24 Ultra, 31 Oct 2024Do you understand that OnePlus 13 24 GB RAM 1 TB, 120 Hz 2K... moreyeah only the experience will be different. one will ignore you right after another T variant will be launched and major updates will take longer and longer the more old becomes, will be filled with micro bugs. you know which one I am talking about. just hardware doesn't make a device great.

                    so in west it will cost 1500 euro min?

                      it was bound to happen.

                        jiyen235, 31 Oct 2024zamn that's one big price hike. The most annoying one ... moreWhoa! You are right in your observation that the middle variants seem to have become costlier by more than 500 yuan. These are the launch prices of Oneplus 12 that I could find (please correct me if I am wrong).

                        Variant - Oneplus 12 - Oneplus 13

                        12/256 --- 4299 - 4799
                        12/512 --- NA - 5299
                        16/512 --- 4799 - 5799
                        16/1024 -- 5299 - NA
                        24/1024 -- 5799 - 6299

                        Given that the 16/512 variant would have been optimum for most, the 1000 Yuan price hike is a real turnoff.

                          Personally i'm indifferent whether i have a curved or a flat screen, there are advantaged and disadvantages to both.

                          Also there is a reason why for almost a decade curved screens were the norm. Trends come and go and come again and so on. First smartphones were flat, then curved, now flat again, and at some point probably curved again.
                          And don't start with foldables, they are just mehhh... Same specs, worse cams in most cases way higher prices and compared to curved screens actually fragile.
                          If i wanted a tablet and a phone i buy both not that weird in between that tries to be both just in worse. And yes that is an opinion.


                          The only major valid criticism of curved screens are tempered glass screen protectors. Good non-UV glue ones are hard to find but exist. As for the glass being more fragile. How exactly? Glass is glass breaks, flat or curved drop it and it will likely break. Everything else is such a minor inconvenience, opinion or at this point just doesn't matter to any sane person.

                          And i don't get why people care so much about the ip rating.
                          Manufacturers in most cases don't extend their warranty to ingress protection anyway because they themselves don't give a guarantee that the ingress protection will do what it is supposed to. And a higher ip rating drives up cost a small fraction as well.

                            jiyen235, 31 Oct 2024zamn that's one big price hike.

                              Should've increased the zoom to 4.3x.

                                Is this should be a surprise? Even Qualcomm had warned about the price hike as early as late last year.

                                    Yes, I know that the main upgrade points for 2024 phones are the 8 Elite (8g4) and their pricing

                                      zamn that's one big price hike. The most annoying one for me is the 12GB 512 to 16 GB 512 one. That's just evil. They're gatekeeping 16 GB RAM this year. Last year we had 16+256 too AND the 16+512 version was the base version for the 512. Really shady stuff with the higher tier pricing.

I'm quite sure that the GT7 Pro and this phone are essentially matched apart from cameras and battery. The GT7 Pro has a bigger battery whereas this has a better camera system, though not by a huge margin (apart from the UW cam).

                                        The display is what im interested in, both are touting themselves as masterpieces, reviews will reveal their true colors
