The OnePlus 13 Paradox

[@souravms]

British techtubers are great for low light photography commentary. Never a hint of sunshine in their sample pictures.

That is probably because sunshine this Winter has been rare. We had a week of high pressure with cloud cover, and only lately we have had a few days of sun.

[@blackhole-tq2hv]

oneplus 13 has periscope lens, but they changed the periscope module architecture ...so the sensor faces downward instead of sideways, makes it thinner...

[@GregoryIsom]

It's the tri prism technology first seen on Apple's phone. Tetraprism is technically not the same as periscope. Those words describe the path the light is bent in.

[@blackhole-tq2hv]

@@GregoryIsom Gregory, tetraprism is just one type of periscope design, not some exclusive Apple innovation. OnePlus re-engineered the periscope module to make it thinner by reorienting the sensor-no need to bring Apple's tri-prism or tetraprism into this unless you're here to flex irrelevant trivia. Maybe take a moment to search what a periscope actually is before jumping in next time. Stay on topic.

[@DannerBanks]

To me the crazy brightness of the screen and the phenomenal battery are pretty enticing. Plus, in the US, there is a deal to spend $900 for 1TB of storage, and they include a watch and some earbuds for free. Pretty awesome

[@coolpoete]

I think they do a great job of cramming alot of specs in at a competetive pricepoint. I think it was the right decision/price for them while remaining under $1k. Perhaps in a bit there might be some additional deals to be had, and there's a very decent trade in offer as well. I'm curious as to how the 13T compares to the 12 as I believe they both have the last gen processor but the prices are very different.

[@chieflingco]

They got 13R not T

[@-The-Golden-God-]

I wouldn't say the trade in offer is 'very decent'. They're offering me £100 less than one of their rivals.

[@Frey9600]

I'd say because the phone is a little bit better on average (aside from the zoom camera) but considering that it costs more and the improvements are not incredible, it's a good phone in absolute terms but not as much as the 12 was last year

[@gavinderulo12]

Isn't the lack of a charger in the Box due to EU law?

[@divitkarekar5803]

what's the law?to not include charger in box lol

[@vedran5582]

No, new EU law that came into effect this year is regarding phones and tablets - they must use USB Type-C.

[@TrentonMatthews]

And that's USB-C everything. The OnePlus charger is USB-A to USB-C, not USB-C to USB-C, but then again, Samsung doesn't include a charger in the box either, which is USB-C. So, who knows if OnePlus will actually switch to USB-C? I doubt it.

[@TheFataltrain]

yes its exactly this. EU law requiring USB C on devices also requires manufacturers not to bundle chargers. So wont see any phones doing this in the EU going forward.

[@andyH_England]

Yes, the EU made two requests: first, only USB-C, which had to be mandated in law as Apple did not want it, and second, chargers would not be included in the box to save on e-waste. The OEMs followed this voluntarily, so there was no need to dictate.

[@zeed5764]

Samsung User here. Just from watching the other One Plus 13 reviews, the photos look amazing. more the style I've been waiting for as Samsung always has the "mobile phone" look to its pictures - you can never mistake them for DSLR images. The OP 13 design is great. I hate the square brick of a S24 Ultra design. The price is the same as a Samsung base model after discounts/promo, and some markets will get the charger, a case and an applied screen protector on the phone. Personally, I love curved screens and smaller phones - up to 6.5". Considering the above, this is quite a harsh review - why is that that when Samsung or Apple decide to not include accessories and charge a fortune for them separately, its ok, but when alternate brands do anything different, they're portrayed negatively!? Samsung is still charging at 25W - yes the Ultra says 45W but its only about 10 min less, and the iPhone 16 still has 60 Hz refresh rate in 2025! One UI has great features, but can get really slow and laggy at times - as soon as you use another device, you'll realize how fast a different OS can be!

[@DragoonMS]

Ohhh, Samsung and Apple have eaten their backlash. Then folks just forgot about it. It's pretty crazy, actually.

[@MuhammadFirdaus-wo6mz]

I'd love to use a different brand but no other brand has a 10x native camera, not even samsung now lmao. You can take my 10x camera from my cold, dead hands. On the other hand the oppo find X ultra phones looks VERY tempting, the 3x camera is almost double in size and the 6x I imagine will blow my S23U's 10x out of the water so I'll see once my phone dies, what are good options to upgrade to.

[@rob8311]

I generally like your videos but it felt like you didn't research enough for this one. The reason there is no charging brick for models sold in Europe is due to new regulations implemented by the European Union. Also, the phones are generally more expensive there due to import costs and taxes. As for the screen being a little bit less well tuned than the Pixel, not sure about that one, Display Mate gave the One Plus screen its highest ever rating

[@CodyGraham]

He completely left out so many benefits to the OP13. I've already ordered mine as an upgrade to the 12.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

What regulation? Could you be specific because there are European phones with chargers in the box all the time.

[@gadroful]

You must do your research because EU doesn't mandate manufacturer to not give charger in the box. It just needs to be USB-C given. So OP not including charger is just greedy

Where did you read this? I didn't find anything about this online

[@andyH_England]

@@tegridy-farms5746 It was agreed voluntarily, so unlike USB-C, it was all done behind the scenes. USB-C was a palaver, as Apple objected, so it was newsworthy. Lots of EU agreements with third parties are agreed on without publicity.

New EU Law is telling that all portable devices have to use a USB C standard for charging and data transfer, it has nothing to do with the charging brick

[@andyH_England]

@M1DNYT3_RS They are different. No chargers in the box were agreed upon without the law being implemented, so it went through without any publicity. Apple's objecting to USB-C was why that was a big deal and entered the public psyche.

I'm a part of a couple Oneplus Facebook groups in my country, and one thing that hardly reported is that since the OP 8 series, the samsung oled screens have been notorious for screen getting "green lines" after 2 years or so. Which is understandable why its not reported, since by year 2 of any phone life cycle, there's not much reviewers doing "x phone after x years" haha. The last OP phone I've seen getting oled green lines was the OP 11, hopefully the 12 doesnt follow, cause OP phones are really great! I have an 8t myself, it ran beautifully, until green lines started appearing by its 2nd year hahaha!

[@FrinkyDinky]

6:43 Might be worth noting that both the 13 and 13r get 6 years of security updates.

[@GraviticVortex]

IMO OnePlus 13 is in most aspects better phone than OnePlus 12. It's main disadvantage for me compared to OP12 is flatter screen. It's a large phone and flat screen combined with slimmer body and slippery back make it way more uncomfortable to hold than OP12. Increased price and no included charger is for sure a problem in Europe. Both OP 11 and OP 12 could be called "best phone under 1000 €", but now the official starting price is 1049 €, which rises it above the magic 1000 € limit. Interestingly, during the time I tested the OP13, I took quite a lot of long zoom photos and not even once saw the AI zoom icon pop up...

[@mrigankabora4835]

Curved screen is harder to maintain and most people hate it

[@bmanfitz]

I had so many accidental touches on the OP12, and then if menus had buttons down the curve it was ridiculous to select with accuracy...I love the sleekness of the curves but the usability is a frustrating experience

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

I guess I'm just adaptable because I use phones with curved screens and I like them. Appreciate the aesthetics and even some of the ergonomics. But then I also use phones with completely flat displays and I like them and I appreciate the utilitarian nature and the ease of use with cases and screen protector. It's never been a deal breaker for me on either direction

[@AuspiciousFrog]

Upgrading to this phone should be a no brainer for me, however OnePlus' stupid decision to make it so notifications disappear from the lockscreen after unlocking the phone is an absolute deal breaker for me. If anyone has one of these or the 12, is this still a thing on OOS15?

[@alihart]

Any thoughts on the quality of the sound from the speakers?

[@kencult]

OnePlus are in a great spot to steal people away from Samsung, Google and Apple right now. At least for me, I've been excited to upgrade to the S25 Ultra, but from all the leaks we've gotten, it's just a bit boring. The OP13 has so many great quality of life improvements over the competitors. New battery tech, ultra fast charging, proper IP68 and IP69 rating WITH Aqua Touch 2.0 (you can just use this thing in the shower now). Even small things like extended Bluetooth connectivity that I deal with every day when I walk out to the kitchen and my earbuds disconnect and then I need to wait for them to reconnect. Also the screen has great tech that reduces eye strain compared to all the competitors who don't have this (yet). You said it at the start of your video, it's really the sum of all these little pieces that make it a great phone and why I'm switching from Samsung this year. I know it's more expensive than last years phone, but with it still being $300 or even $400 cheaper than other flagships, it's a no brainer for anyone looking for a change of pace and is bored with the stagnant smartphone industry as a whole.

The camera performance is less important than ultrasonic fingerprint and flat display. The majority of people are not content creators.

I just wish they would do cheap phones with ultrasonic scanner...

My issue is just the design, I'm not sure why pretty much all phone brands from abroad except for Xiaomi, Nothing and Samsung decided to adopt a circular camera island.

Designs like the Pixel 9 Pro, Oneplus 7 Pro, Sony Xperia series and Nexus 6P all look great and I'd love to see more companies from abroad adopt those types of camera islands to differentiate themselves from eachother rather than using the same redundant circular style camera layout

Should i wait for S24 ultra prices to drop after the S25 ultra release or go with oneplus 13 ?

[@kaigreene6188]

Go for the S25 ultra !

[@Ajay-vm5kz]

Get S23U

[@stevencorbo1220]

It's a beautiful phone if it only had the Periscope zoom lens it would have been perfect. It would have truly been a rockstar. It's still a good phone

[@christopherdoorty1598]

If they actually make a 13 mini, matching the vivo x200 pro mini, then I for sure will forgo either upgrading my fold 5 for the s25 ultra or pixel 10 pro

I just got my OnePlus 13 2 hours ago, and mine came with the charging block.

[@Sharkie504]

Damn, been waiting for this! Edit after having watched entire video: 😧

[@KBJTG1]

Toughest review I've seen on this phone yet. It seems like you lived the twelve. So any changes to that platform wouldn't please you. However, I see your point on the camera sensors though.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

EU requested no phonemakers to include charging bricks....

[@gman5218]

Loads of improvements from the 12 you didnt mention. Aqua touch, glove mode, way better haptics, ip68 and ip69 and a better screen. If u wanna zoom over 6x you buy a vivo but then you have a massive camera bump. The slight rim is because the faux leather version is basickly just on top of the glass.

[@mohamedmedhat9539]

The same person accepted a phone with much worse battery life, charging speed, network, and processing power, and copied the design of a main competitor, at a higher price than the OnePlus 13. Weird, those enthusiasts nowadays.

[@bodrulm1]

This review wasn't compelling. No real reason why the reviewer found OP13 underwhelming yet found last year's model phone of year - they are virtually the same with OP13 incrementally improving every aspect, then a stupendous battery and processor. I suspect a lot of bias in this one

[@KennyGii]

And display, and aqua touch, ip69, super Bluetooth, find my phone feature, etc... I just think he wasn't very interested in doing a good video.

[@bitterbuffalo8997]

Honestly I think this is a step in the wrong direction from the One Plus 12. This is also great reviewing / reporting as a bunch of other tech reviewers don't really keep close tabs on this critique and just lap up the speccs.

[@theUrge01]

wish pixel had alert slider only thing i need on it

[@phonevidz]

They always have something to say about the cameras and make it a big deal but when it comes to the horrible charging for Samsung's and Apple's it's not that big of deal.

[@donniethesportsguy893]

The EU is stupid for that law not to bundle with phone. Now consumers will buy it separately and separately ship and separate dispose of those boxes and actually increasing the carbon footprint. EU are morons lol

[@volatilememory9338]

Lol talk about irony. The EU regulation for USB C only rechargeable devices (i.e. devices with a rechargeable battery) requiring a USB C port. Does the OnePlus wall charger have a rechargeable battery? The OnePlus charger uses a USB A port but they had previously provided a USB A to USB C cable. The removal of the charger has nothing to do with the EU law and everything to do with keeping a higher profit margin for OnePlus.

[@queeniegreengrass3513]

OnePlus ace 3 pro is China only, has 6000mah with 100w charging. Came out last year with last year's cup.

[@Xanadu1510AE]

Great to see Scarlett Johansson take time off and give us a few reviews! 😋

[@simon2823]

Thanks for the review. I feel my own reservations were justified to hold back just now. yep getting screwed over for the power adaptor is a big deal. just not sure about this phone tbh. I can get approx 19% off the price off the 16/512 model plus another £50 and trade in for my old phone so £899 is about 600 but I feel the phone is lacking in camera quality. Also no UWB, why, the chipset has it built in. The OnePlus 13 Series Winter Launch Event was just all hype. I am awaiting the s25 Ultra as well, though price on that will be considerably more, but Samsung will have better everything.

[@divitkarekar5803]

Why did you make it look like Oneplus was the one to decide to not include charger in box It's the EU law which sucks and made Oneplus do it,every other country has a charger

[@andreasntonas1700]

Waiting for Oppo Find X8 Ultra and hoping for a global release

[@Pomacat]

Mines on the way. I'm pretty sure I will like it

[@Lyricsmaker59]

Same
