From PC Mag: OnePlus is back with its latest lineup of affordable flagship phones. The company announced the global release of the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R at CES on Tuesday. The phones, which have been on sale in China since October, come with improved processors, AI enhancements, and a large, 6,000mAh battery.
OnePlus offers Android phones with many top-of-the-line specs at a price that undercuts offerings from larger companies like Samsung and Google. The latest OnePlus phones are competitive when compared with Samsung’s S24 and Google’s Pixel Pro 9 lineup, though it remains to be seen how they will hold up to Samsung’s new S25 phones when they are announced at Samsung’s Unpacked event on Jan. 22.
The OnePlus 13 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Mobile Platform and comes with up to 16GB of RAM, depending on the configuration. Its two 3,000mAh battery cells combine for a 6,000mAh battery that lasted over 24 hours in our testing.
The display is similar to last year’s model and features a 6.82-inch ProXDR LTPO 4.1 with a resolution of 3,168 by 1,440 pixels and a variable refresh rate of 1-120Hz. The phone is now also fully waterproof and can even withstand jets of hot water with its new IP68 and IP69 ratings.
The OnePlus 13R is less powerful than the OnePlus 13, but shares many of its features. The phone runs on the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile SoC, comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and features the same 6,000mAh battery found in the OnePlus 13. It has a smaller, 6.78-inch 1.5K ProXDR display with a resolution of 2,780 by 1,264 pixels and a variable refresh rate between 60-120Hz.
