It is now time to start the review for the OnePlus 13. I have been using the device for about two weeks, and during that time, I have formed some opinions, which I’m going to share in writing with you now. Overall, this is a fantastic device for 2025, and anyone who would be buying it will be suitably impressed. Before we get into any of that we need to give the OnePlus 13 a thorough going over.

Design

First of all, let’s have a look at the design.

If you prefer this in Video form then please check the Unboxing video i have done previously.

So starting at the very top, we have some cutouts for the speaker vent on the far left. We then have some pinhole microphone cutouts, and we also have an infrared blaster, which is really useful if you ever need to control something that works off infrared, such as a TV or air conditioner.

Top edge with Mic and Speaker cut-outs and IR Blaster

Moving around to the right-hand side, we have the volume rocker and the lock, unlock, and power keys, which are both the same keys. This can also be long-pressed to activate Gemini Assistant, which is pretty useful. You also have some antenna break lines on the left hand on the right-hand side.

Volume rocker and Power button

Moving around to the base, this is where we will find some more pinhole mics and a loudspeaker output and in the middle, you have the USB type C 3.2 port that is capable of up to 100 watts. Power if used with a Supervooc 100-watt charger. In the US I believe this is limited to 80 watts on Supervooc. You will also find the SIM card Slot which has a waterproof ring on it hinting at the IP 68/69 rating that the OnePlus 13 is rated for. This sim tray is a dual sim so it is possible to have two working sim cards in the phone at one time if you want to.

SIM tray, USB Type C 3.1 and Speaker

Moving around to the left-hand side again we’ve got some more antenna brake lines and the all-important OnePlus toggle Alert Slider for vibrate mode, silent mode and all sound. This is a really nice button to have and it’s something that OnePlus used to be unique with. I believe Vivo now offer it as well, but still, it is great to see that it’s still here.

Alert Slider

Up front, we have the display which is a 6.82-inch diagonal display with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 making it QHD. It has a PPI of 510 with an aspect ratio of 19.8:9. The display is capable of a peak brightness of 4500nits but is normal High Brightness Mode is 1600 when manually cranked up this is the total average measured across the panel in direct sunlight. We also have a dynamic Refresh rate of between 1-120Hz as this is a Pro XDR display with LTPO 4.1 technology on board. All of this is covered by a Ceramic Guard glass panel. It is a very good looking display and I have been very pleased with it.

Front display 6.82″

Here around the back is where we find the camera module which consists of three different sensors All the sensors are rated at 50 megapixels sensors. You have a normal camera, a wide-angle camera and a telephoto camera. You also have a 2 tone flash and another microphone pinhole.

Camera Module Close-up

Underneath the camera is where you would be able to find the Qi charging coil (if you were to remove the back panel), which does not have MagSafe. If you wish to use Magsafe, you do need to use one of the optional OnePlus magnetic cases. I have been lucky enough to be able to use the OnePlus Sandstone Magnetic case, which does work very well. However, if you just want to use a non-magnetized Qi charger, you can use it without the case.

Full Rear

So that pretty much rounds up the design aspects of the phone.

One thing I will say, the Black Eclipse back panel is a nice-looking panel. I love the way that they’ve tried to recreate the look of black rosewood with the etching that they’ve done on the glass. If you go with the Artic Dawn one, I believe the panel is just a plain white panel. And if you were to go with the Midnight Ocean version, then you do get a vegan leather microfiber back panel instead of a glass back panel, which does provide a nicer feel without using a case. 

However, I would always recommend you use a case with these phones as all it takes is one drop to end up in some hot water!

Hardware

The OnePlus 13 has been designed for durability. What I mean by this is that the manufacturer has been able to increase the IP rating over its previous generation to IP 68/69. Now, while this may not mean very much to most users, myself included, It is reassuring to see that companies are actually thinking beyond the typical use case scenario.

A lot of reviewers who were able to attend. In-person events have stated that they were able to expose the phone to various tests such as high-pressure water jets, high-temperature water jets and even going as far as the phone being put inside a mini washing machine. Now, I have not done this with my review device and I have no intention of doing it with my review device.

But the phone does feel adequately solid in the hand and in my time using it, I have not sustained any damage or scuffs or marks. To the side rails of the phone. The rear of the phone. The only Mark I have managed to get is on the replacement screen protector which is there for that reason. Underneath the screen protector though, the screen is a hardened glass. I believe it uses Ceramic guard glass type, how does that relate to Corning Gorilla Glass ratings? I can’t be certain, however, that I have no concerns about any damage to this phone. As I’ve previously mentioned, I would always recommend using a case with the phone.

Rear

OnePlus does offer some very compelling options for cases. Looking more closely at the cases, I was given the Sandstone Magnetic Charging Case. This came with a strange piece of plastic in the box. Now it turns out that this piece of plastic is designed as a spacer insert because the OnePlus 13 in Black Eclipse or Arctic Dawn is ever so slightly thinner than the Midnight Ocean, So they made the cases slightly bigger to fit in the Midnight Ocean and have shipped a spacer. If you are using the Black Eclipse or Arctic Dawn

Performance

Regarding the OnePlus 13’s performance. It is very difficult for me to quantify performance on any smartphone, recently released i.e. within the last year and a half to two years. As I don’t really do tasks that explicitly would affect the performance of a phone, the most task-intensive or memory-intensive task that I would potentially do would be having Either a game running or potentially running two apps side by side. I no longer do video editing on my device.

But just to give you an idea of the performance, in terms of power that this phone actually has, I have performed a 3D Mark  Benchmark, And I will provide the comparative results of this against a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Platform Device. In this case, the OnePlus Pad 2 I reviewed recently. The results are as follows.

• OnePlus Pad 2 score  = 4576
• OnePlus 13  Score = 6717

That is almost a full 3rd better in that result alone. Now while this is a graphical test it does show a marked leap in performance.

In terms of signal strength, Please see the signal and reception. Details below. As for battery performance, I have found that the phone will easily get me through one day and most of the way through a second day. Now, this is even with a high-load app running. It uses GPS called Life360, which is an app that I can my family to keep track of us all so we know when each of us will be home  I have been very, very pleased with the battery life and I’ve had no reason to have any concerns. 

The phone will manage the application and battery usage fairly well without requiring any input from me. Unlike some of the other more Chinese style devices. I recently was able to test an Honor Magic V3 which continually tells me that apps were causing High battery drain in the background.  I haven’t had anything like this on the OnePlus 13.

Gaming

As for gameplay, on the OnePlus 13, this this not an out-and-out gaming device but it can easily be utilised for playing high-intensity games without any problems. This is thanks to the 120-hertz refresh rate on the screen plus the awesome performance offered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.

As previously mentioned, I haven’t any high-intensity games that would specifically cause the phone to be challenged. However, during my fairly sedentary gameplay. I have noticed no performance slowdowns, dropped frame rates or anything of that kind. So if you are a gamer and you are looking to buy this phone then rest assured that from my experience and At least from what I’ve seen on other reviews. The OnePlus 13 will not present any challenge for any existing game on the Android ecosystem. If Android were ever to adopt the AAA format that we are now starting to see on iOS then potentially you could come up against some issues, but I find this highly unlikely.

Android games are developed primarily to run on mobile infrastructure and remember the Snapdragon 8. Elite chips are now also being utilised in laptops. That is capable of moderate to good gaming without too much strain and without the need for a dedicated GPU.

One of the areas where OnePlus has thought of Gamers though, is The aforementioned AirVOOC 50-watt Magnetic charger. This has been designed at least in my opinion to allow for you to have a means of recharging your phone and cooling it whilst gaming it does this very effectively via the fan.

However, even without the AirVOOC 50-watt Magnetic charger, I have not actually ever found a need for the phone to be externally cooled. Even with the case on the back as the cooling, is sufficient via the Liquid cooling chamber, that is built into the design. Which I have to say is an extensive one.

If you require more information about this, Then check out Jerryrigeverything’s YouTube channel which has unlike myself done, a complete teardown of the OnePlus 13. I would encourage you to have a look at his where he will go through this for you.

Signal and call quality

On the OnePlus 13, I have found that the call quality and signal strength I am able to achieve is much better than I have been able to get on other devices such as my Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Now, while I don’t have any scientific way of measuring this improvement that I have experienced from using the phone, I have found that in areas where I previously had weak signal strength and was unable to make calls, this is no longer an issue.
With the OnePlus 13, this is hardly a surprise as I have previously experienced this increase in signal strength quality on the Nord 4, which I reviewed in the previous summer.

I regularly have to drive a stretch of road almost every day where I can not receive or make a phone call or get any data reception at all on my Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Whilst using the OnePlus 13, however, I have been able to see that I get a good enough signal for both voice calls and also for streaming media from the Internet, such as services like Spotify or Amazon Music. This is due in part to the new developments in antenna design that OnePlus premiered on the Nord 4 that was launched last summer.

Camera

One area that has been highly touted with the OnePlus 13 is the camera. Now as I mentioned previously, the camera is composed of three separate lenses each lens is supported by a 50-megapixel sensor and each lens is also capable of utilising the OnePlus and Hasselblad cooperation.

I have used OnePlus devices with this Hasselblad tie-in previously back in the days of the OnePlus 10. I found that it didn’t really make much difference. So going into this review, I had mixed thoughts about the camera. What I can say is in normal bright conditions, this camera is most certainly up there with one of the best cameras I have used to date with a caveat.

If you are the type of person who likes to zoom in to really capture details of items that are far away, then you may be somewhat disappointed. Although the zoom is capable of reaching up to 120 times in terms of zoom, after you go beyond 10 times zoom, you are very much in the realm of digital and AI enhanced zoom. This unfortunately does result in creating very messy and cartoon-like images. However, if you keep the zoom at a reasonable level, i.e. under 10 times, then you will have a good experience. I believe the camera will optically zoom up to six times and you will be told which lens you are using in terms of how that would relate to an actual proper DSLR camera lens.

Please take the time to look at the zoom samples as you will be able to see what I mean about the higher zoom levels and the characterization or cartoon-like effect that it provides

Another area where I was concerned about the camera quality was in low light. Now I have tried taking some low-light photos, both in complete darkness and where there is some partial illumination in complete darkness without the flash enabled. Even when using night mode, the camera struggles and you won’t get very good photos, however, most smartphone cameras would struggle in these conditions.

When you have some light around, that makes things a little bit better, especially if you use the night mode and you select the tripod setting. As long as you can keep the phone stable, then you will get some good results. I have included a couple of nighttime shots below for you to appraise and give your opinion on, as well as some daylight shots.

Some daylight shots

Finally some close-up product-style shots

In terms of the front-facing camera. You have a 32-megapixel front-facing camera which does exactly what it says on the tin and it will be more than adequate for your Instagram selfies and doing the occasional video conference call.

Again, I have included a few selfie examples and a brief video sample of a mocked conference call.

OnePlus has just launched the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R which are this year’s flagship candy bar devices for the brand. I have been very fortunate to have been able to use the OnePlus 13 for a short time prior to the launch and I have had some time to gather up my first impressions. However, before we get into that I would like to share the unboxing video with you.

As you can see if you have watched the video we have got a few things to look at here. Firstly we have the OnePlus 13 in Eclipse Black and this is 512Gb Storage with 16GB of RAM version. Next up we have the newly announced OnePlus AIRVOOC 50W charger which looks very cool. Finally regarding the phone bits we have the OnePlus Sandstone Magnetic Charging Case. As an added extra I also had a pair of Merino wool gloves included which if you watched the above video to the end you will know what they are all about.

Quite an impressive specs list I am sure you will agree.

Here is a quick visual tour of the device.

Here are some more images this time of the phone in the Sandstone Magnetic Charging Case.

Next up from the box of goodies that I received is the OnePlus AIRVOOC 50W charger.

Here is a quick clip of it in action as well.

As for the last items in the box, there was a pair of rather nice looking black gloves which were put in there to showcase the fact that the OnePlus 13 has an enhanced glove mode that is capable of detecting gloved hands with gloves of up to 0.5mm thickness. This has been pretty handy lately as it has been a bit nippy here in South East Englandshire

So that is the picture and the video dealt with. Now onto how the phone is to be used. Well, I promised 1st impressions in the title so here we go.

Overall, I’ve been very pleased with my limited time using the phone. It’s been working well for me in terms of how I use it. As frequent customers here will know, I have a lot of OnePlus Kit that my family and I all use. So, the OnePlus 13 has seamlessly integrated into our ecosystem.

The camera performs exceptionally well in bright conditions. However, when I attempted to take some shots in near-total darkness, the results were somewhat disappointing. Nevertheless, I believe I have some time to experiment with this feature further. I’ve taken a few shots that I’ll share below. Some of them are quite good, while others are not so great, but they provide a glimpse into my experience with the device so far.

Here are some samples of the zoom levels which are assisted by AI once you get into the higher zoom levels.

As you can see once we get past the 20x Zoom we start getting into territory that is a bit blurry and pixelated, Howeve rit is pretty good up to the 20x mark which is beyond the optical telephoto scope.

The battery life, which I had anticipated from a contemporary flagship smartphone, has been satisfactory. However, I encountered some problems with resource-intensive applications that caused the battery to deplete rapidly. Surprisingly, the same app exhibits the same behaviour on my Pixel phone, so I’m not overly concerned. I’ve given the phone the freedom to manage its battery usage independently, and I’m still able to obtain a full day’s usage, with sufficient charge remaining for the following day.

In terms of multimedia experience I have been very happy the speakers are loud and clear with a good depth and feel to the sound. It has paired perfectly with my headphones (both OnePlus and Pixel branded ones). I have been using it in the car with no problems connected to Android Auto again this was seamless. the screen recreates colours with great clarity for video and photos.

Talking of Photos again, I have also been having a bit of a play with the new AI functions within the Photos app editing suite. The AI Detail boost has been quite useful in that I have been able to improve some of my older photos from the late noughties, which is a nice thing to be able to do. This is made a bit easier as the OnePlus gallery app works really well with Google Photos.

Lastly, the call quality has been excellent, and this has been the case for OnePlus phones for the past 18 months, which is one of the reasons why both my wife and son now use OnePlus phones (the Nord 4 and Nord CE 3 LTE, respectively). The new antenna designs that OnePlus has developed have helped me get a stronger signal when I’m in the middle of the East Anglian countryside!

That about sums up my time so far with the OnePlus 13. It is now available from OnePlus’s website, and it is a great price: £899 for the 256GB version and £999 for the 512GB version.

I am going to be putting together a full review soon that will go into more depth about the cameras and performance aspects of the OnePlus 13. I would invite you to come back in about a week for that report.

Until then check out all the new features and whistles at the OnePlus site now

The post OnePlus 13 – Unboxing and 1st impressions is original content from Coolsmartphone. If you see it on another news website, please let us know.

OnePlus just dropped some big news: their new flagship phones, the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R, are officially launching globally! As you can imagine, there’s a ton of buzz around these devices, especially the OnePlus 13. Why? Because it’s the first globally available phone from a major brand packing the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. (Yeah, we know about the Redmagic 10 Pro, but this is a bigger deal.) And in a bit of a power move, OnePlus beat Samsung to the punch, announcing these phones before Samsung’s own upcoming launch.

Of course, no phone launch these days is complete without some AI magic, and that’s where OnePlus has been making some serious upgrades to its Oxygen OS. With these new phones, we’re getting Oxygen OS 15 powered by OnePlus AI. We’ll dive deeper into that in a full review soon, so stay tuned!

Let’s take a closer look at what was announced:
OnePlus 13: Packed with Features

The OnePlus 13 is shaping up to be a real contender. It boasts a triple camera system with a 50MP main, a 50MP 3X telephoto, and a 50MP ultrawide lens. OxygenOS 15 brings a bunch of AI features to the table, promising to make your life easier and your photos better.

This phone looks as good as it performs, with a modern and stylish design. Expect great photos with features like a Dual Exposure Algorithm, Clear Burst, Action Mode, and that classic Hasselblad Camera tuning. 4K Dolby Vision video recording is also on board. You can also expect buttery smooth performance thanks to its top-tier specs, lightweight design, and fluid animations.
Features like Intelligent Search, Circle to Search, PassScan for Google Wallet, and AI Notes are here to streamline your day. It can translate over 20 languages in real time! (Coming in an update in Q1 2025) Get ready for features like AI Detail Boost, AI Unblur, and AI Reflection Eraser to take your photos to the next level. Available in Black Eclipse, Midnight Ocean, and Arctic Dawn, the phone’s build quality is top-notch, featuring durable materials and a fingerprint-resistant finish. It’s also surprisingly light at just 210g and 8.5mm thick.

The OnePlus 13 is built to last. A 6,000mAh battery should easily get you through the day. IP68 and IP69 ratings mean it can handle dust and water. Plus, it’s passed rigorous durability tests, including US military standards (MIL-STD-810H). Dual Cryo-Velocity Vapor Chambers keep things cool even during intense use, and Aqua Touch 2.0 ensures the touchscreen stays responsive even with wet hands. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, up to 12GB of RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage ensure blazing-fast performance. The 6.78-inch 1.5K ProXDR flat display is certified for eye care by TÜV Rheinland. It has a 50MP main camera, a 50MP portrait camera with 2x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera, the camera also has a dual exposure algorithm for fast-moving scenes and in-sensor zoom. It’s running on OxygenOS 15 with a nature-inspired design, and it’s got Gorilla Glass 7i for scratch resistance and durability. It’s also IP65 rated, has a five-star SGS Screen Reliability Certification, and passed US military MIL-STD-810H grade product tests. There are some new accessories including Magnetic Cases, AIRVOOC 50W Magnetic Charger, and on-the-go power solutions.
OnePlus 13R: The Performance Powerhouse

The OnePlus 13R is all about delivering killer performance at a (likely) more accessible price point. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform and Qualcomm’s AI Engine, with up to 12GB RAM and fast UFS 4.0 storage, multitasking and app switching will be a breeze. You can get ready for ultra-smooth 120fps gameplay in games like BGMI. It can even make 60fps games look like 120fps! The 6.78-inch 1.5K ProXDR display is also certified for eye care. Like the OnePlus 13, it has Dual Cryo-Velocity Vapor Chambers and Aqua Touch 2.0.

A 6,000mAh battery and 80W SUPERVOOC Fast Charging keep you powered up all day. It comes with an impressive camera set up: a 50MP main camera (Sony LYT-700 sensor), a 50MP 2x optical zoom portrait camera, and an 8MP ultrawide camera. The OnePlus Dual Exposure Algorithm helps capture fast-moving scenes, and in-sensor zoom lets you get closer without losing detail.

Both the 13 and 13R run OxygenOS 15, packed with AI features for productivity and creativity. Available in Nebula Noir and Astral Trail, it boasts tough Gorilla Glass 7i, a sleek aluminum frame, and is only 8mm thick. It’s also IP65 rated and has passed durability tests, including US military standards (MIL-STD-810G). It also has the cool new Beacon Link feature that lets you use your phone like a walkie-talkie over Bluetooth!
OnePlus Buds Pro 3: Upgraded Audio

The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 also got some love. They are now available in Sapphire Blue. Steady Connect provides improved Bluetooth connection stability, even in challenging environments, with a range of up to 50-150 meters. They have the AI Translation feature to translate conversations in real-time directly through the buds. You can expect improved Bluetooth performance, especially when paired with compatible OnePlus phones. These buds have amazing sound, with dual drivers and DACs in each earbud delivering powerful bass, clear treble, and a wide soundstage. Adaptive Noise Cancellation adjusts to your environment for optimal noise cancellation and battery life. They have a long battery life, over 5 hours on a 10-minute charge, and up to 43 hours total with the charging case, and they also have fast charging. The stylish Sapphire Blue case features premium leather and is compatible with Google Spatial Audio. They are easy to control with touch controls for volume, music, and noise cancellation.

Pricing is as follows.
