I have decided to go with the 24GB 1TB variant of OnePlus 13 in the black color. This will be my first flagship phone I buy with my own money. Cant wait 🤩🔥🔥

[@katinasoutherland7693]

You made the right choice. Idc what anyone says 1+13 is killing all the phones here in the West. Congrats bro 💯

[@TheAnimesNanda]

@katinasoutherland7693 haven't ordered yet as in India the open sale starts on Jan 10, but thanks for the encouraging words, I can't wait to order it 🤩

[@amunra7390]

I can’t wait till the OnePlus Open 2

[@El_Hamzoh]

Same I think that will be the best foldable phone!

[@MarcoTooFly]

Same here! I hope it comes in the Arctic Dawn color

[@TerrellThomas-m4d]

Same here!

[@madmann6723]

I’m so glad the OnePlus 13 is available in the US. Great pallet cleanser when there’s not much else but Samsung and Apple here.

[@duncanorr2748]

I just bought the phone had it on early bird offer were i paid £50 deposit got the 16g 512g storage also recived the green watch 2r free so I had to pay £799 tonight very happy with the price

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Great price!

[@Ara198826]

I did the same in Canada 60CAD and I will get Oneplus watch 2

[@DonnKnee]

An example of running 2 different refresh rates can be found with KZbin. The video can be playing at 60fps and the comment section can run at 1. It's very smart and an example of innovation in Android phones that never gets enough praise. That mixed with the battery and chip improvements Android is bringing.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Welcome onboard! Appreciate the feedback 👍

[@jonathanport5002]

As another utuber said (the most successful of your breed) this phone is at last a game changer. Everyone will up their game to copy these specs. Lucky us. I subscribed 😅

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Welcome onboard!

[@asan1050]

Thanks for posting this video as always!

[@katinasoutherland7693]

Phone of the year. Idc how many so-called major youtubers come out lying for Samsung again. Simply put here in the West, no other phone can compete with the cameras battery tech fluidity. Smoothness, oneplus, has just killed the game in the west.

[@wakaflockaproject]

No charge in the box in UK. Price is 100 too much. Will probs buy on a sale

[@thundergato84]

I live in the US, and I'm finally leaving Samsung. Samsung has slow charging, and the same ole cameras.

[@garygiles63]

Thanks for the the review. Do you have the option to save pics as RAW and JPEG? I have the Fold, during my travels they OnePlus turned this off, very frustrating.

[@GSJ_TV]

Have two phones. An iPhone 16 pro as well as S24 ultra. I upgrade one each year and save the other for the following cycle. This year I am doing something different. I am parting ways with the iPhone and purchasing the OnePlus 13. IOS has taken a huge hit and I believe could be on the way to slow blackberry type death. OnePlus really impressed me this year and looking forward to going straight android for my mobile choice. Although keeping my MBA and iPad mini. Can't leave good ol apple completely haha. Great review as always!

[@micheldiggelmann3968]

😂

[@JustXavier]

Nice combination! Which color did you get?

[@GSJ_TV]

@@JustXavier I got the Wesley Snipes Black! Haha

[@simmysharma6845]

👍😊. That blue is cool

[@VicharB]

Got the OP 12 16/512GB about 10 months ago and it is solid, OxygenOS 15 made it even better! Really happy unlike I was really frustrated with my previous OP 10 Pro. The 13 is not much of an upgrade, especially when it comes to camera modules, and if you willing to shell out USD900/+,, then go for 13, otherwise 12 is solid and will save you few USD100s. I shall wait for next iteration of OP and hope Elite 2 will bring strong features and performance compared to * Gen 3 and much better camera modules.

[@PHILOSOPHY260]

plz make a video on 13R also

[@KellyGreenYall]

Excellent review! New subscriber--just found your channel. I've got the OP 12. Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger and get the 13.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Nice - welcome onboard!

[@legendarymeditationandrela774]

You run the benchmark with the high performance mode off?

[@majtechtings]

Dude...i shoot photos of my daughter on my OnePlus Open constantly... it's over for social media the second she starts asking for money per photo. Aint no one seeing her grow up via photos after that. Lol.

[@sinisahorvat1479]

Getting a bit confused there, when we talk about camera zoom, is 3X or 6X said: 3 times or 6 times (magnification), or it is said 3 X or 6 X? What actually means X in photography terminology?

[@iAfroTech]

Happy new year. I know you try to change the way to product review but i know there will be a time, you will talk about iPhone and Apple ecosystem. It would be nice to include a shot of the Android you are reviewing with a Windows 💻 , doing QuickShare and connecting earphones with Bluetooth multipoint. I think it's important to make people ( newbies) see it works. I prefer the back design of OnePlus Open. The hardware of OnePlus 13 is on top. The software...🤔. I've never been hyped by OnePlus but no doubt, it seems like a very good phone. Black version, White version are the only one to buy.

[@ghayes220]

Excellent review. Thanks.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mohamedabdelsalam6094]

It's a great review and a great device

[@Stinow]

Coming from a Redmi Note 10 5G, I hope this is a good upgrade. First time spent this much money on a phone and it just arrived. Thx for the vid!

[@toma.6942]

How is the focus in lowlight. Really compared 12 vs 13

[@MrThrowUps]

ok i spent the money, im ready to get it.

[@CliffR]

I have the Oppo Find X8 Pro (global) what is different from this OnePlus 13 (global)? So far I know there is one less camera on 13, missing camera button on 13, had more bands (great for US users) on 13, and changed from MediaTek to SnapDragon and a few less "bloatware" preinstalled apps on 13 and the price difference. Anything else? Seems Color OS and Oxygen OS are almost identical now in the most recent version.

[@fraghead9813]

How does there trade in system work? I have the 24 ultra and am thinking of trading in for this instead of the s25 ultra

[@ally05108]

Does the front camera have a wide field of view?

[@jamesantoine4318]

Awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Pekelder]

Important for me that you missed in this video: haptics and speakers 😮

[@OsamaZahid308]

Can you compare it to Honor magic 7 pro please?

[@travismayes23]

how come mkbhd said the cameras are okay at best but you keep saying how good they are

[@kennordsfan1494]

I know wondering the same here? There was another review of the OP 13 and he said the photos overall are really good but the video is ho hum? Frustrating that these reviewers have so much of a differing options to mostly good?

[@MarkEllisReviews]

It's frustrating we have different opinions?!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Because we have a different opinion of the camera system - it's pretty straightforward. It's the most subjective element of a phone review.

[@murtazachaudhary3339]

Very nice video

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Thank you!

[@nobblynoel]

I clicked.. Thanks for the video 🎉😂

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Awesome!

[@garygargan2598]

I have sighed up news letter I'm loving my 16 pro max I mite get this phone as android

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Nice - welcome onboard!

[@simon2823]

only deal breaker for me is the curved screen and average cameras. OnePlus could have done better in those fields.

[@matrix1169a]

Not even noticable

[@DariuszTech]

Awesome value for money android device. Brilliant display, very powerful with a decent camera 😮 Enjoy Las Vegas 😊

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Thanks, mate - and, agreed!

[@jonnycarlson9555]

Just because my friend Dariusz is featured there will be thumbs up. 🤣 Just kidding, really great video of a great device 👍🏻

[@JustXavier]

Hi Mark - Here's what I hope you cover in future phone reviews because it is one of the things I absolutely look for when making a purchase and decision: *A built-in RAM management system.* No matter how good the phone is, cache builds up and slows the phone down. Samsung has Device Care and Good Guardian, plus it allows the user to schedule an automatic reboot schedule once a week. On phones without this, I find myself resorting to SD Maid, and I'd prefer pre-installed options from the manufacturer.

[@officialdon_julio]

Don't set your trousers on 🔥 cause the one plus 13 is not better than the s24ultra 😊

[@mutawi3i]

Old design

[@stevanb.2590]

To be honest, those photos look like they have 11/10 saturation set and frame drops in video... For a device that's camera centered, could be better.

[@J0hnSm1th]

Unfortunately, oneplus lost me after the 7T. I just want a phone such as the 13 but with a battery of at least 6000mah and not 5840mah marketed as 6000. Also, the camera bump should be centered like the vivo x200 pro, not like it is now. Yes there are still people who yearn for simmetry. Lastly, I would happily burn 800 to 850 euros for it but no more. The starting price of 999 euros is considered a theft in my book since I can purchase right now the Chinese variant for 667 euros, new. And don't get me started on the lost frames during video recording... Oh well, I hope I am not the only one looking at it this way!

[@kmrjt1]

With software (Oxygen OS) that's rebranded Color OS, the same as Realme and Oppo, there's nothing to brag about this phone. Average software experience, average cameras, poor productivity (Oneplus notes app doesn't sync across it's phones and tabs). Design is typical Oppo with that camera bump that's typical of Oppo phones and is an eye sore. Average phone at its best.

[@AdamWulfric]

The price for this phone is a bit too much you can buy a Samsung flagship which will ultimately be better.

[@alikeche]

The camera is disappointing even OnePlus 12 take better results shots then the OnePlus 13 especially the zoom on the OnePlus 12 is much better

[@lucaspanasski331]

Did you compare them side by side your self ??

[@alikeche]

@lucaspanasski331 yes just the ultra wide angle camera one OnePlus 13 is better

[@jonnycarlson9555]

What version of OxygenOS do you have on your Oneplus 13?

[@alikeche]

@jonnycarlson9555 not oxygenos I have ColorOS 15

[@jonnycarlson9555]

@alikeche I have OxygenOS on my Oneplus 13. I get generally better pictures than on my Oneplus 12. Especially the main camera and the selfie camera gives better on my phone. Hopefully there will be updates on Color OS to make your experience better
