The focus of OnePlus' January 7 phone launch will fall on theOnePlus 13, and deservedly so.
It also happened to be one of my favorite phones of the year.
(Itisa price hike in the U.K., where the OnePlus 12R cost 649.)
OnePlus is accepting trade-ins to lower the cost of the OnePlus 13R.
You have a choice of two colors with the OnePlus 13R Nebula Noir and Astral Trail.
Like the OnePlus 12R, the OnePlus 13R features a 6.78-inch ProXDR display with 2780x1264 resolution.
The main camera uses a 50MP sensor, too in the form of aSonyLYT-700 sensor.
For the ultrawide shooter, OnePlus uses an 8MP camera, just like the OnePlus 12R did.
(An earlier version of this article listed the wrong sensor for the ultrawide camera.)
Other features include a live photos capability and the ability to take up to 500 burst shots.
There’s no Hasselblad branding on the OnePlus 13R as there is on the main flagship.
That’s the same silicon that powered 2024 Android flagships, including the OnePlus 12.
To help with performance, OnePlus includes 12GB of RAM with the 13R.
OnePlus gives the impression of touting the 13R as a lower-cost gaming phone.
But the battery is getting even bigger on the OnePlus 13R, which includes a 6,000 mAh cell.
OnePlus says that North American users will be able to completely charge a drained OnePlus 13R in 54 minutes.
That includesGoogle’s Gemini, which serves as the phone’s digital assistant.
All of this is included with OxygenOS 15, OnePlus' software interface built on top of Android 15.
OnePlus promises four years of software support with the OnePlus 13R and an extra two years of security updates.
It’s still short of the seven years that Pixel 8a owners get.
