OnePlus 13R review: the best $600 you can spend on a phone this year

The OnePlus 13R may not be the flashiest phone to launch in 2025, but in terms of raw value and bang for your buck, it's one of the best you'll find.

Polished and practical hardware ; Fantastic, non-curved display quality ; Two (or more) days of battery life ; Surprisingly good cameras ; OxygenOS 15 is excellent ; Seriously incredible value

Slower charge speeds compared to 12R ; $100 price increase

“Need a new smartphone? Don't want to spend more than $600? The OnePlus 13R needs to be at the top of your shopping list.”

OnePlus 13R review: A flagship phone in every way but price

Improve cameras, better battery life — so what's the catch?

Battery outlasts predecessor's already impressive time ; Improved cameras, including zoom lens ; Strong Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 performance ; Stylish design

Cheaper 128GB model is discontinued ; Some AI features lack polish

The OnePlus 13R may no longer match the sub-$500 price of the Pixel 8a, but its feature set impresses, particularly when it comes to battery life and overall performance. If you can't swing a flagship phone, the 13R may be the next best thing.

OnePlus 13R review: a triple threat of battery, performance, and brilliance

If you're not after the very latest tech, this is the affordable flagship to buy

Genuine two-day battery life ; Big, bright, bold display ; Excellent gaming performance

Size is tricky for smaller hands ; Only splash-resistant, can’t be dunked in water ; No wireless charging

The OnePlus 13R delivers in three big ways. First, the sizable 6.78-inch display is bright and colorful, which results in a great viewing experience. Next is the massive 6,000mAh battery – that gets you two days on a single charge. Finally, the 13R...

OnePlus 13R Review: R for Rebel Digit.in

OnePlus 13R Review: OnePlus is back after they went from crushing it with 21% of the market in 2023 to barely scraping by with 6% in 2024. Last year was especially unfavourable for OnePlus even though it made some strides in the ultra-premium foldable...

Brilliant display for Watching Videos ; Exceptional battery life ; Superior gaming performance ; Improved camera system ; Strong software commitment

No wireless charging ; Ultrawide camera could be better

The OnePlus 13R is a significant evolution in the R-series. It’s no longer just a ‘budget flagship’ – it’s a proper flagship in the mid-premium segment that happens to be priced competitively. The improvements in display technology, battery life, and...

OnePlus 13R Review: It’s Great

This could be the best-value phone of 2025.

Big, bright display ; Excellent performance ; Long lasting battery ; Versatile camera setup ; Longer software support

No wireless charging ; Lowlight performance still not great

Is the OnePlus 13R a great package? Yes. Is it complete value for money? Yes. Has it improved over last year's 12R? Yes. The new OnePlus 13R is definitely worth the upgrade. It gets better cameras, a larger battery with longer life, better build...
