I have a OnePlus 7T and while i love it to bits this will probably be my last OnePlus phone ever.
It started by having absolutely mind blowing software.
But the main brand Oppo decided to make it more like the Oppo phones.
Let's just say it has been a downhill trajectory.
It's actually a good thing they stopped updating it.
The new phones look no different.
The other good thing about OnPlus was that they were decently priced.
Now at 1000$ i'd rather buy a reputed brand phone.
Samsung actually always had terrible software but now has improved a lot. And i do mean A LOT.
Not to mention that while the cameras where always never great on these phones the price was enticing. Now if you have 1000$ to throw into a phone, might as well throw another 200$ and get a full fledged phone…
Flagship overstock phone from 2 years ago for $300 dollars or so brand new, is the new sweet spot for most people.
For me, every camera looks the same; I don’t see any differences.
We need people to buy phones like this to ensure fair competition; otherwise, it would just be domination by Samsung and iPhone.
Good job ONE PLUS
I'm sticking with my OnePlus 12 for a very long time. The quality is super good. Performance is top notch and the os is super smooth. It does what I need it to do and that's all I need… Plus some solid cameras
Lithium Ion Batteries are prone to combustion or catching fire 😅
Marginally better than previous years' flagships. Just like every other flagship, every year.
At least the batteries are getting there, especially important for smaller phones and foldables. No need to buy a huge brick to get good battery life just around the corner.
Think s25 ultra will blow out this phone
Bro has bot views and engagement 🤣🤣🤣🚮🚮🚮
How does the texture on the back compare to the OnePlus 12? I love my 12, but the texture on the back of the forest green makes me feel sick. It's like nails on a chalkboard to my skin 🤢
If the textures been removed from the 13, might be worth an early upgrade
Good sales pitch , Marques.
You know what I think? People are going crazy with cell phones, social networks and AI. Who cares about speed? If the camera is a little better? All this is throwing money away, and the big companies are getting richer and richer.
Actually no Samsung Google and apple are not using silicon carbon in their new flagships.. the s25 series that Samsung's just getting ready to release is literally identical to the s24 series besides the fact they're replacing the 12 megapixel ultrawide with an old 50 MP sensor and upgrading the processor to the Snapdragon 8 Elite.. other than that the only other change is they made the s25 ultra look closer to an iPhone.. Samsung Google and Apple not only are taking advantage of people in the western markets by refusing to adopt the latest technologies that are now common in all of the devices coming out of China. Samsung creates the best 1-inch 200 megapixel sensor camera sensor on the market but only provide that sensor to their competition!! The Vivo X100 Ultra and the X200 Pro are by far the best camera phone on the market and ironically they use the Samsung HP 9 sensor !!! There is no device coming out in the west that will ever come close to the cameras of any of the Chinese devices.. Every sensor utilized in Google Samsung and Apple devices tiny in comparison to the sensors provided in all the Chinese devices.. On top of that, the majority of the Chinese devices utilize the latest ltpo display technology, and the new silicon carbon Battery Technology, provide cases, pre-applied screen protectors as well as a charging brick IN THE BOX.. The average charging speed for the majority of the Global devices coming out of China is anywhere from 80 to 120 watts wired and 50 watts wireless.. The OnePlus 13 released inside the United States and because of the ridiculous us regulations, OnePlus is forced to slow down the charging speed from 100 W to 80 Watts inside of the United States.. this is a prime example of the clown show running the EPA creating unconstitutional regulations! Even with OnePlus having to slow down they're charging speeds they still destroy any device Samsung Google and apple creates.. that's right the OnePlus 13 has larger camera sensors better battery Tech battery ltpo display Tech is cheaper and comes with an 80 watt charging brick!! There is really no reason to buy a Samsung device this year. If you're going to buy a new device from Samsung the smart choice would be to Simply buy a discounted s24 device. All of the AI features that will be released on the s25 series will also be available on the s24 series a few months from now. At this point in time I recommend everyone start looking at the competition because there are at least six Global devices that are far superior than any Apple Google or Samsung device on every level and in most cases will cost you less money along with the extras you get when buying them. I have been in the tech industry for 25 years now and I had made the decision that if Samsung didn't utilize the HP 9 sensor in the s25 series like everyone expected along with the new silicon carbon Battery Tech and bump their charging speeds to 80 Watts then I would no longer Buy Samsung and would start buying their competition. Well Samsung didn't do any of those things so after many years I'm moving on!@ anyone want to buy a Samsung oven, refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher, s24 ultra, watch, earbuds,???? Samsung had one option. Stop taking advantage of people in the western markets or lose the western markets! People are finally starting to learn about the competition and no longer is Samsung Google and apple shielded from their competition!! Now that everyone is starting to learn about how Samsung Google and apple have been charging insane prices while doing as little as possible for their upgrades compared to the Chinese competition Samsung can either start competing with their competition by creating a devices that actually beats them or they can lose customers permanently! The fact that the major cell phone carriers conspire with Samsung Google and Apple to push these devices as the only devices in the Western Market should have been spoken about years ago!! Most people never thought about why in the heck in the United States they're only three companies making cell phones that are called flagships.. the reality is Samsung Google and apple are not creating flagships their phones are mid-tier in comparison to the Flagship Global devices available from china.
Hmmm. I feel conflicted because I ( typically, key word, typically ) know MKBHD as a really nice, honest, and generally well-rounded tech reviewer. But I still can’t get what happened a month ago off of my chest. I don’t want to say MKBHD has permanently stained his image, but its definitely a stain that is hard to get off, and I don’t think it will ever be fully removed. I’m unsure, and extremely undecisive.

If only OnePlus had the marketing Apple or Samsung has…
Scrolling bluesky? How much to say that?
gonna wait for s25, if it's not good, this phone is gonna be it.. welcome back oneplus..
as someone who moved from iphone to android i am very happy that companies make MagSafe cases for android phones. It made it so I can keep all my accessories
Sounds like 1+ seems to be getting better than Samsung
I always have issues with the finger print sensor it's so annoying.
Everyone always compare phone pictures and if the photos or videos are the best on say iphone then everyone says iphones are the best regardless of everything else.
I love circle to search it's so accurate.
Bluesky…later.
Just call some one on a video call with a wireless earbud or headphones and you will see the battery dries out.

With great displays come great green-lines.
At least for OnePlus.
This is the best Android phone on the market, hands down. The OnePlus Pad 2 is also the best value on the market for tablets. And the OnePlus buds Pro 3 are incredible. OnePlus is absolutely killing it on all fronts.
Currently driving a 2.5 yr old Motorola Edge+ (8/512) that is working just fine, and doesn't need to be replaced, but, it kinda needs to be replaced. In anticipation of my pending annual bonus, I have been looking at the OnePlus 12 for a while. I am now looking very seriously at the 13!
Except… I'm not superstitious, but, I am just superstitious enough to hate that they went ahead with calling it the "13!"
I'll never understand your critiques of flagship cameras, they all basically look the same now.
Nice ❤
Bro just give me back swappable batteries and SD card memory and I'll be good.
