Side note on the "silicon carbon" batteries - this tech is not new, but its implementation in mass market LiPo cells is recent. Sanyo (now Panasonic) was putting graphite + silicon oxide anodes into the NCR18650BF back in 2014. They were quite successful in doing so - huge improvements in capacity and thermal stability. Glad to see it's making the same impact on phone cells years later. 6000mAh is a CRAZY amount to have in a phone that slim.

ya was just thinking that a lot of the Chinese brands have been using this for a year cycle already

Dude thank you so much for reporting the PWM on the phone. Nobody covers it and it's such an important issue for many people

[@Josh-99]

It's one of the reasons I'm getting the phone. Someone showed it under a 40,000 FPS camera next to the iPhone 16, the Galaxy S24, the Oppo Find X8, and others and the difference was NOTICEABLE. As some who is SUPER sensitive to strobing effects, I need a phone where I don't notice the PWM at all no matter what. I'm so bad with bright or strobing lights that I have to wear very lightly tinted polarized glasses to drive at night because of all the poorly-aimed HID lights on massive trucks that are driving around these days. I feel like OnePlus really knocked it out of the park with the 13. I love my 7 Pro, but there are so many new features packed into the 13 that I can't help but upgrade.

[@c.a.6636]

@Josh-99 I'm 100% with you on all the above. I currently have a Nokia 8.3 5g that I got like 3 or 4 years ago and have tried so many LCD phones that had zero pwm but I still had issues with them unfortunately. I ordered the OP 13 but Im not getting my hopes up. Prolly just another return to add to the list BUT at least OP is the first manufacturer to be mindful of PWM

[@Josh-99]

@@c.a.6636 It's EXTREMELY high. I have an LCD computer monitor with a PWM rate of 1900Hz and I can't see it. You may be able to, but the 13 has an even higher PWM rate.

​​@@NadeemAhmed-nv2brsamsung hasn't even release its 2025 phone calm down buddy 😂 OS, camera and even AI is enough to put oneplus down. They did well with the price tag that they've introduced but when it comes to "killer" they're nowhere near. Also, nobody really cares about the dimming bs, samsung amoled display are still A LOT reliable and color accurate. I get it, you're a oneplus fanboys but don't expect everyone else will glaze them just because they've been in the industry for awhile, stay objective and without bias and you'll live a happier life.

[@matthewtalton9767]

It is def a performance 3 or Y with those pedals, but doesn’t it seem like the center console is a little long? Shouldn’t we be able to see the cup holders or the cop holder cover from this shot?

Loved the 1+ 12 last year. Thought the camera was overall better than the S24 Ultra. Definitely going to be giving this a go based on how much I enjoyed the One Plus last year.

Why upgrading already? I will keep my 12 for 4-5 years if it does not break.

It's now considered embarrassing to support democrats, as their whole campaign was based on lies.

[@osotheresilient]

Good video, Marques. This phone sets a pretty good trend for us users, but then comes the important question: Will Apple, Google, and other major brands do the same? They have been quite conservative for years, and I think they should take inspiration from this phone.

Not for 2025. Both Samsung & Google are bracing for sales loss, so won't be adding higher tech hardware. Sales revenue by pushing software hype is their tactic. They cannot compete 2025yr on hardware against the OnePlus Open, and even the Chinese brands.
