OnePlus has been a fan favorite, but not without its stumbles. Now, the OnePlus 13 arrives with a promise of premium quality and performance. But does it really raise the bar, or just follow the trend? Let’s find out.
At first glance, the OnePlus 13 retains its classic look with a tall and sleek design. Look closer, and you'll see a few noticeable refinements.
Flatter edges make it easier to grip.
New colors (Arctic Dawn, Midnight Ocean Blue, and Black Eclipse) add a fresh touch.
IP68 & IP69 rating – Finally! OnePlus catches up with proper water and dust resistance.
Ceramic Guard display protection – Tougher screen = fewer heart attacks when you drop your phone.
The camera bump still has that signature circular style, but the metal ring around the lenses is gone, replaced by a glossy strip. Subtle, but it gives the phone a cleaner look.
OnePlus has been flexing hard when it comes to displays, and this one is no different.
6.82-inch QHD+ LTPO OLED 2K ProXDR panel
4500 nits peak brightness (crazy bright, even in sunlight)
120Hz refresh rate (super smooth scrolling)
RadiantView tech (adjusts colors and brightness automatically for better visibility)
2160 Hz PWM dimming (less eye strain, better for night scrolling)
Oh, and Glove Mode? Game-changer for bikers and anyone living in freezing weather. It’s not perfect, thicker gloves still struggle, but it’s a step in the right direction.
This thing flies. The Snapdragon 8 Elite (4.32GHz) paired with 12GB/16GB RAM means the OnePlus 13 is built to handle anything you throw at it.
No lag, no stutter, just smooth performance
BGMI, Genshin Impact, COD Mobile? Max settings, zero frame drops.
OxygenOS 15 (Android 15) keeps it clean and snappy
Even with heavy multitasking, the phone stays cool and responsive. It’s the kind of device that makes you forget about performance issues, because there aren’t any.
OnePlus cameras have been hit or miss over the years, but this time, they’ve got things right.
50MP Main Sensor (f/1.6, OIS) – Crisp, true-to-life colors, and handles night shots like a champ.
50MP Telephoto (3x optical, 6x lossless zoom, OIS) – Solid details even when zoomed in.
50MP Ultra-Wide – Clean, noise-free shots with better edge correction.
50MP Selfie Cam – Sharp, balanced selfies with good skin tones.
Low-light performance is where this thing really shines. It captures a good amount of detail without over-processing, and even tricky shots (like street lights through trees) turn out great.
Zoom shots are also surprisingly solid; not just AI-enhanced mush. The 3x optical zoom is clean, and even at 6x, details hold up well.
Battery anxiety? Not here.
6000mAh battery – Easily lasts 1.5 to 2 days on moderate use.
100W wired charging – Full charge in about 45 minutes.
50W wireless charging – About an hour to hit 100%.
The AIRVOOC wireless charger even has a built-in fan to keep things cool. Fast charging without overheating? We’ll take it.
This is the OnePlus phone that feels like a true flagship killer again. It’s got power, looks, insane battery life, and a killer display, all for Rs 69,999. Sure, the cameras could still use some tuning, but they’re finally reliable.
If you’re looking for a no-compromise flagship that won’t make your wallet cry as much as a Samsung or iPhone, this is it. The OnePlus 13 isn’t just back; it’s here to dominate.
