OnePlus 13R review Comments

Longer battery time, not so much for the bigger screen or camera (cam should be okay)
Just because of the battery + fast charge, (5000 vs 6000 mAh) since a moto g86 power with a 6720mAh might be inexpensive to buy, is inferior to my Moto G84 do to the gpu chip and it still only charges with up to 30 watt (disappointing considering the size of the battery) vs 80 watt for a 13R, my g84 is fast enough,everything above it is just a bonus
Could i change my battry to the G86 Power 6720 mAh + 65-80 watt charge, i would keep my moto g84
I think someone mentioned it getting hot, if by that you mean when charging, it's normal when charging a battery fast it get's hot
I always use 2 fingers for screenshot, slippery, i always use a case/cover, i found one for under 9 euros, no mini jack, what do you use it for, i have bt headphones, usb headphones and mini jack headphones, my mic for roomcorrection (wiim amp pro) is usb c
One mentioned Android 15, it's fine nothing wrong with it, mabye a OnePlus 13r just needs there own update to there overlay,launcher, OS OxygenOS
One mentioned no sd card reader (more storage), i have over 2000 pictures and alot of games i use 53% of my 256 gb on my Moto G84, i would be fine for a loooong time with 256gb, my 64gb samsung tab a9 with 64gb was upgraded with 128gb storrage, on my mobile unit's that's more than enough, my pc has 2x2tb nvme's (games take up alot more space then android games like angry birds)
Im waiting for my OnePlus 13R to arrive, out of stock, wonder why ? Total cost with 6 month subscribtion with unlimited phone calls and 200gb data, 510-520 euros

Glaivas, 12 Jan 2025Precisely. We've learned to use adaptors for the headphones but no sd card is a no no. I... more256gb on my phone i use 53% atleast 2400 ish pictures or more, even with normal 1920x1080 videos, 256gb for most people isn't to little , it's just a very good sweetspot for storage Ps gsmarena say theres a 512gb version, if you need 1tb of storage you might buy a phone with a better camera then a OnePlus 13R, because it must be important for you to make video and take pictues you can store on your phone = a Oneplus 13r isn't the phone for you

Not only the worst 1+ phone I've had (had them back to the oneplus 6 model) - but worst phone I've had, period
Not ready for prime time. Battery capacity, display, CPU power are great. Fails miserably in other respects. RF hardware is glitchy. Wi-Fi connectivity is inconsistent, drops strong connections frequently. Same for the LTE & 5G connectivity. RF performance there weak compared to previous models (though better than Samsung's terrible performance there).
Cameras, despite the hype, are inferior to other phones; although I really don't care because I have real cameras - but the supposed great 13R cameras are at best, mediocre.
But, all that I could endure as price to pay for not having to suffer the infamous non removable samsung bloat & snoopware on their phones (or the iOS nanny-state snoop OS of iphone world). The worst aspect of the 1+ 13R BY FAR, is the abortion of Google infected Android 15 OS. It is HIDEOUS. Glitchy, buggy, self inconsistent does not even begin to describe it. Frequent app crashes & hangups, frequent calls to task manager needed to close stubborn apps stuck in indeterminate states, erratic behavior on otherwise known stable apps that worked fine under OS14 (which itself was worse than 13), and so on. In short, miserable experience with OS 15 in general, but the OnePlus variant was NOT FIT for release.
I'm done with OnePlus after 13R. Been a great alternative to the google infected hyoerbloat universe of google's insidious crapware, until now.

This phone exists! With better SoC and battery. And you can find it in every Top phones list. Still, oneplus doesn't call this "premium" or "flagship", they've just used the term"flagship killer" years ago ( and stayed true to it)
Meanwhile some other company slaps shiny on the back of their phones and sell less powerful hardware for more. Worst part is.. some people fall for it

Why did you give this great phone a 4.2 rating???
The only thing that really lets this phone down is the camera.
I'll never ever understand your stupid ratings.

The Xiaomi 14T Pro is perhaps the best choice camera-oriented choice of them all, though.WRONG!!! Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is the best choice camera of them all!

One Plus 13 R
Feedback
I purchased One Plus 13 R (12-256) and put it to use from 12.03.2025. The following issues experienced design defects or performance defects or poor quality
Design defect.
The on off switch is placed too low on the right side. Difficult to handle because the lower one-third portion is only available to hold, and an equal balance of weight is not distributed.
Many times, the switch is pressed and the screen appears for Switch off or restart.
On/Off switch should be placed on the left side top, and the ring/vibrate/silent switch should be brought here.
Screenshot
One needs to use both hands for a screenshot to press the on/off switch and volume switch. This problem would be solved if on/off switch is shifted as proposed above.
Performance
Touch Screen speed/touch was still better on my One Plus, even after using it for over six years.
Battery lasts for less than 36 hrs
After the Battery saver is activated at 20 or 15 or 10%, the screen goes blank and can be activated by getting a call from another phone
Quality
Though it is immaterial, Air bubbles have started showing in the factory-fitted screen film on the screen.

Used phone for 2 days. Returned. Heat issue on more power use, not perfect in hand very very slippery, without a case it is impossible not to fall out of your hands, with a case it is very bulky, especially the camera location, also camera very basic, my old device from 2020 makes better pics. Screen, fingerprint, battery life is perfect. So depending what you need

You haven't mentioned that this phone also has always on display like Oneplus 13
It think this phone is awesome especially to user that camera isn't something they willing to pay the difference between the flagship phone
