Got the 50 quid pre-order deal thinking it was a better one that you can get at launch to then see new orders get 100 quid off...
Tried to get the launch price plus the 50 quid, not allowed.
Also the UK version comes without a charger.
Given the UK price point, not including a charger and under all reviews falls behind direct competition it was a no brainer to pass on this new model.

    jiyen235, 3 hours agoThat's because the X200 Pro is plenty good enough and ... more300 euros more is unacceptable to me. After all the reviews and comparisons of the two phones. Yes, Vivo takes brilliant macro photos and great telephotos, but selfies are bad. At times it looks like a frame from Cartoon Network... The colors of the 1+ photos are the closest to real ones for me, it also takes brutal photos of moving objects. Add to the equation the better hardware of the 1+ and software and I completely forget about Vivo. For me, the overall experience is always important, not just to make photos.

      Aierlan, 4 hours agoYeah. You could also look at it though from the point of vi... moreThat's because the X200 Pro is plenty good enough and has the best zoom cam out there and other cams are just gonna use the same cam. Unless you want a better UW cam, the X200 Pro is good enough and going for other phones isn't gonna be worth it. Idk much about the Find X8 Ultra, looks like it'll be a mid upgrade, the Xiaomi is gonna have horrendous battery as always and the X200 Ultra won't go global.

      Basically, you get a GREAT phone with the Oneplus 13 with GOOD cameras. For 250 euros more you get a GREAT phone with GREAT cameras, if not the best rn, with the X200 Pro. For 200-300 more you wouldn't be getting much, imo at least.

        jiyen235, 13 hours agocheaper screen and cheaper processors don't really mat... moreYeah. You could also look at it though from the point of view that the Vivo x200 pro is 1299 euro so if adding 250 euro is not a problem why not add another 200 and wait for the ultras like the Xiaomi 15 ultra and possibly Oppo find x8 ultra or Vivo x200 ultra (if they get a global launch although I've a feeling only Xiaomi will launch their ultra model globally).

          bormat, 9 hours agoEU just mandatory every smartphone to have USB-C charging. ... moreIt seems though that all Chinese brands aren't shipping with the charger in the box now in the EU. Xiaomi stopped it with the 14t series, Vivo doesn't ship with charger in the box for the x200 pro (in Spain anyway) and now Oneplus. You can buy the 120W charging kit on the Oneplus website though. I think it's likely we won't see any chargers in the box in the EU for phones launched this year as in their latest launches (at least in high end series) they have all not included chargers. Do you know of any newly lauched phone that is shipping with a charger in the box in the EU?

                      Good review.

                      Nice looking phone but here are the cons:
                      no IPS LCD screen
                      no sd card reader
                      no 3.5 mm audio jack
                      no FM radio
                      too expensive considering the lack of features
                      not enough features that would justify that horrendous price
                      no buy
                      NEXT model please!

                        Aierlan, 08 Jan 2025In Europe but I think will be the case for all phones launc... moreEU just mandatory every smartphone to have USB-C charging.
                        They're not stopping manufacturer to give you free charger lol

                        What's funny is that OP 13 needs proprietary charger and to get 100W charging speed that they advertise but don't include it in box and can't order because don't have on website.
                        So you actually can't charge your OP 13 at max speed at all.
                        It's just stupid decision

                          Battery life is disappointing in web and gaming compared to battery capacity. Maximum brightness outdoors is a shame at this price point.

                              Seems like the OnePlus 12 is a better deal especially since the 13 throttles down to 60%.
                              Curious how the vivo X200 Ultra will advance the photos and vids without plastering it with AI. (I noticed some AI portraits change the person's looks and I think we've been beautified enough.) The same goes for the audio and the 3.5 jack could do wonders for audio quality.

                                Reno, 19 hours agoIf it was flagship, it wouldn't have a worse camera se... moreFirst things first
                                There's no such a thing as "bbk" anymore. It's just oppo and vivo.(just google it)
                                Then the flagship thing, are oppo x8 pro, vivo x200 pro, Xiaomi 15 pro, the upcoming s25+ not flagships? They aren't even the base model flagships out there! Flagship isn't only the ultra models. Compared to oppo, it has better SoC and fp reader and other things are almost the same except for one extra 6x zoom camera, compared to vivo it has better display better SoC better SW support, worse camera. Samsung it's out there yet, but if it isn't going to change camera hardware, OnePlus has the edge on main camera, far better telephoto and probably battery life. and Samsung would be a better one for uw and longer os support.
                                It is clearly what anyone would call flagship. But yet, we all loved OP for being cheaper. There is 13r for that reason.

                                  Why this phone is not called Pro ? should be..

                                    Mans, 23 hours agoNothing really special like midrange phones but the price i... moreJust imagine how much this is in the Philippines. Its very close to the newest iphones and galaxy flagships.

                                      Anonymous, 16 hours agoNo SD card and audio jack, no thanks.Most flagships don't have those features anymore, its been years, really since a flagship had those.

                                        Same price as Samsung/Google but not going to 7 years software support.
                                        OnePlus wasn't supposed to be the one close to their clients/supporters and to provide to them best support and care?
                                        Even if not much people keep their phones 7 years, comparing to competition doesn't help them.
                                        If someone asked me, I'd say 5 years of major updates would be the best overall number. With 7 or 8 years of security.
