OnePlus 13 review

07 January 2025


Sort by:

Don't really get the criticisms of the screen brightness. The gsmarena team comparing it with 1.5k resolution screens isn't very valid as 1.5k screens can achieve higher brightness than 2k ones. It should be compared more validly to other 2k screens e.g. the Xiaomi 14 ultra for example which has similar brightness and also uses a screen from a Chinese supplier (still Samsung 2k screens can achieves higher brightness than BOE or TCL ones). Also in your display review you don't talk about the actual quality of the display. Just spouting off technical specs that we get from the promotion materials. The only thing you actually talk about is brightness. What about other aspects of the display like sharpness, colour accuracy, viewing angles, flicker etc? It's quite baffling how this can get a lower score than the standard find x8. Better screen, better haptic feedback, better speakers, better main camera sensor (albeit video quality is not as good), better fingerprint reader (the find x8 cheaped out on a short focal optical fingerprint reader)

    6000mah battery doesn't mean anything. It's the reason why most chinese phone have big battery (fanbois love it🤣) because the optimization is rubbish. I take 5000mah with 10hrs sot over crappy 6000mah any day.

      Kinda shallow review, no mention whatsoever of some things that sets it apart from it's competition like 120 fps gaming, better ingame graphics, etc.

      While AI slop is present in every device, there's some AI image edit that's very handy like removing glass reflections which barely any other phone has.

        IpsDisplay, 07 Jan 2025They are also posting daily deals ads all over the webpage ... moreAt least they are not in bed with Honey... for now

          Is this the phone to replace the 9pro?
          I'm charging up the 7pro to trade in

            Definitely proves by looking at the review and comments, you'll never be happy with any new product reviews. Everyone has their own perspective of a perfect smartphone...But get nitpicky when "it" doesn't tick your boxes!

              If they do not want to delight us with the 24 GB RAM phone in Europe, OnePlus will lose many customers. The cameras/video cameras are mediocre, middle-range phone cameras, the processor is the newest snapdragon, like enough phones, the prices continue to climb too quickly, it is not worth it anymore with actual specs, performances and prices. I wanted to buy a 24 GB RAM phone with a correct price. But so far there are not many 24GB models, but will be.

                Looks like money is tight

                  The screen brightness is well below other flagships and also the frame rates in gaming bad while the price is on par with other flagships. If the price was €799 it was ok but no, so, that's not acceptable for a flagship.

                    1100+€? No ty.

                        sdkk, 07 Jan 2025I have Asus Rog Strix 16 with WiFi 6e. It is OK? I will try... moreWifi 6e is perfect today.. it supports 6ghz.. but at 160Mhz while wifi 7 is at 6ghz 320Mhz.. doubled so allow to achieve 4 Gb/s as u saw in video it will give you up to 3000mbps.. down. 2000 up... wifi6e might sits at 1500 down and 1000up .
                        BUt for wifi 7 u need very good antennas.. as 6ghz bandwidth is shorter and shorter u might need even external antennas with cables.. wifi 7 is up to 4 or 5 metres signal.. More away from router or phone, you loose signal..

                          Did they just copy paste this review from the Oppo Find X8 review? The Video Recording section is talking about wrong phone - "The Find X8 Pro records video up to 4K60 with all of its cameras"

                                  Am planning to buy S24U ONCE S25 series will release as phone used will be on ebay like 400 or 500 and I will save 500 and have more features than new crazy expensive chopped phones.. Then I will select 6ghz on s24u in hotspot and my laptop is already wifi 7 Intel be200 and I will have mega fast connection just for £15 a month unlimited 😇
