OnePlus 13 - Unboxing + First Look

[@eoin4597]

The display is supposedly the top display available from Chinese manufacturers at the moment. It's not set to the highest resolution by default though so that has to be changed in the display settings

[@lltechview]

Yes you are right.

[@wasiahmed1547]

It's the same expensive display used on find x8 pro... And BOE makes better displays than Samsung now.

[@eoin4597]

@@wasiahmed1547 Not exactly the same. The find x8 pro display is a lower resolution so it's a cheaper display than the one on the Oneplus 13. A replacement screen for the Oneplus is 1650rmb versus 1450rmb for a replacement screen for the find x8 pro

[@이지은-o2x]

It is designed this way with power saving in mind.

[@nuthanprasad3687]

@@lltechview please tell if the high 2160 HZ PWM display of one plus 13 has made any difference for long time viewing. I am finding it very uneasy to read on my s23 ultra as my eyes start hurting, maybe due to low 240hz PWM.

[@g_ravasz]

Good morning LL. When got Vivo X100 Pro from them, no test log and no 5 euro discount 1st time purchase. Had to send back the phone because was a faulty device, microphone didn't worked, camera issue fast battery drain in usage. Gladly they send/give everything for German KZbinrs. Their service good and gladly they refunded my money.

[@Sloy_one]

So good. I also hope you get the Mate 70 soon

[@IMUSTHCOOSEANEWNAMEB]

it's not a flagship killer we usually reserve that term for non flagship phone that could rival with flagships. But it is a flagship, close enough nice review!

[@userdave1811]

What are your thoughts on the software regarding stability / bugs? I am torn between the OP 13 and the Xiaomi 15. I do prefer the smaller form factor but am reluctant regarding Xiaomis software. Also a comparison between the two in terms of signal strength would be interesting :)

[@lltechview]

@@userdave1811 I will check it out

[@wasiahmed1547]

Hyperos is the smoothest UI right now

[@lltechview]

@@wasiahmed1547 It is amongst the smoothest. But ColorOS 15 with true parallel animation is the best on Android right now.

[@simohammedlemhouer5052]

I want to know if oneplus 12 also has de colord icons on there always on display? I saw a video that Oppo with colorOS global does have colord icons on the always on display

[@maxernst5989]

Hi. A comparison between OP 13 and Xiaomi 15 pro especially concerning display, performance and usability in western countries would be highly appreciated. Can't decide which one to buy 😅 Thank you for your work!

[@userdave1811]

Exactly my thought :)

[@MahboobIslam]

Ok so I am a camera enthusiast and I checked the Oneplus 12 in the pro mode or master mode there is no option to capture raw photos in 50 mp, it's limited to 12mp RAW images. If someone has got their hands on Oneplus 13 Chinese one, can they confirm if the high-resolution 50mp RAW is there or is it limited to 12mp raw? thanks

[@lltechview]

12 MP RAW on 13 sadly.

[@GRANDHUSTLER44]

Am getting the vivo x200 pro ultra as the camera kicks ass on that

[@jonathanreid7785]

Have u a way to get aod notifications would be great thanks

[@lltechview]

Only way right now is to get the siverse engine from the global Oppo Find X8 series

[@wvdb5985]

compare OnePlus 13 vs Oppo find 8 pro and oneplus 13 vs honor magic 7 pro

[@sebw3964]

You compare them

[@liaqatnoormohamed]

Does Google pay work on this? what is the max PD charging speeds? I see everyone mentions the speed of the included charger, but I think that's only if you use the included charger.

[@lltechview]

Yes works. PD should 33 watt if I am not mistaken. Will check it out.

[@liaqatnoormohamed]

@ ah that’s a shame. It’s only slightly better than the iPhone for PD charging speed. Do you know if the realme GT 7 pro or the Vivo X200 pro is faster for PD charging?

[@Pekelder]

Haptics and speakers are better than the Oppo Find X8 pro? Nice video as always ❤

[@lltechview]

I did not notice much of a difference but had the Find X8 Pro only for a few minutes in China to compare. Maybe I will get the device at one point and can tell you more then.

[@pipetec]

Are the 5G bands on this Chinese CN variant exactly the same as the global or NA variants?

[@lltechview]

There is no global variant yet. But 5G Bands supported are 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41, 48, 66, 77, 78 SA/NSA

[@abood_1221]

Hello my friend, I want to know if there are problems with the Chinese version or a delay in receiving notifications such as WhatsApp, X, and other programs because I am about to buy a Chinese version phone

[@lltechview]

After setting the app on the whitelist (not battery saving) it works fine.

[@ankuro22]

Think this is an upgrade from the Find X7 Ultra? I adore mine, but the battery has been bugging me despite not being a gamer. There isn't any news on the X8 Ultra so I was looking at other devices.

[@lltechview]

Camerwise not. But battery wise and performance wise maybe. But I would maybe wait for the Oppo Find X8 Ultra to see.

[@eoin4597]

The find x8 ultra is definitely coming early next year in China but according to OPPO it won't be launched globally. It's obviously going to be a better cameraphone but it's of course also going to be in a different price category. The Oneplus 13 is significantly cheaper than the all the pro models from OPPO, Vivo and Xiaomi. Same price as the standard Xiaomi 15 in China

[@jejunamja]

Hey thanks for the review and I'm wondering if you could do a video on how to flash the global ROM on this phone when it becomes available that would be interesting to see... One other question do you think the cameras are better on the OnePlus 12 or the OnePlus 13 cuz the OnePlus 12 can be got right now here in the States at quite a discount.

[@lltechview]

I think either on par or the OnePlus 12 might be even a bit better.

[@jejunamja]

@lltechview thanks for responding

[@tienvu2239]

After flash oxygen os. Can i relock bootloader then ok with that?

[@lltechview]

That I don’t know yet

[@papoutsi8518]

I want to buy the OnePlus 13 should i got for the one with oxygen os or color os(i will get the device in February)

[@lltechview]

There are two options. Get the ColorOS version now and pay less or wait for the global release with OxygenOS and pay a little more. The first option allows you later to flash the global rom onto the device. So you decide based on your skill level, patience and if you want to have the full support from the company in terms of warranty and so on.

[@papoutsi8518]

@lltechview That's why I said that I would get it in February bc I will have the option to get it out of the box with the flashes rom

[@Sebyxnty]

I don't know what to buy between the OP 13, Oppo Find X8 Pro and Xiaomi 15 Pro, i want an overall good phone, good camera, but i don't know which is the best. Can someone help?

[@kazahstan_alga]

[@fzffafafaf5517]

Can you please help? The Realme GT 6 phone, 512 GB version and 16 RAM, is priced at $550. Is it considered a bargain for this price? Is there a better alternative at the same price?

1 + mass-produces the smart chargers they include with the device. Therefore, they need to produce them as cheaply as possible. Universal cereal bus charges far less for the older type A output. Unfortunately, they charge much more to license type C. Many people don't realize that universal cereal bus AKA USB is a huge corporation. To that end, manufacturers that utilize their technology have to pay a licensing fee.

[@jaerys8823]

Any issued with notifications being delayed or not popping up? Do you think its worth it to use China ROM phones with its downsides?

[@lltechview]

Did not encounter this.

[@Exire87]

But at the end "vivo still King" 😁 nice Video thx 4 content

[@lltechview]

Yeah for cameras for sure. I think this one here attacks the Oppo Find X8 more or less and if the price is right could challenge some flagships out here in Europe. The base Find X8 is not available throughout Europe afaik.

[@Exire87]

@lltechview The Oneplus 13 as an import for 600/700 euros is the best device but too expensive in Europe for 1000+.

[@lltechview]

@@Exire87 Yeah that is what I fear. If the price is just 800€ even it will have a strong competition from the Nubia Z70 Ultra which offers better cameras + larger battery

they say once global rom will be realesed you can install it to your phone. But how sure are we that by doing so this will work and the phone will become the "global" version? this is the only reason I still didn't order mine

The bootloader is open. That I can confirm. So my guess is it will work like with the OnePlus 12 and earlier that allowed you to do this.
