I have been using the device for about two weeks, and during that time, I have formed some opinions, which I&#8217;m going to share in writing with you now. Overall, this is a fantastic device for 2025, and anyone who would be buying it will be suitably impressed. Before we get into any of that we need to give the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneplus.com\/uk\/oneplus-13\">OnePlus 13<\/a> a thorough going over.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Design<\/span><\/p>\n<p>First of all, let&#8217;s have a look at the design.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer this in Video form then please check the Unboxing video i have done previously.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"OnePlus 13 - Unboxing for Coolsmartphone.com\" width=\"990\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/unqSj4HV00c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>So starting at the very top, we have some cutouts for the speaker vent on the far left. We then have some pinhole microphone cutouts, and we also have an infrared blaster, which is really useful if you ever need to control something that works off infrared, such as a TV or air conditioner.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_193662\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-193662\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-193662 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mikevandermeulen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wp-17361800365951610062344661467394-700x525-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-193662\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Top edge with Mic and Speaker cut-outs and IR Blaster<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Moving around to the right-hand side, we have the volume rocker and the lock, unlock, and power keys, which are both the same keys.

Power if used with a Supervooc 100-watt charger. In the US I believe this is limited to 80 watts on Supervooc. You will also find the SIM card Slot which has a waterproof ring on it hinting at the IP 68\/69 rating that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneplus.com\/uk\/oneplus-13\">OnePlus 13<\/a> is rated for. This sim tray is a dual sim so it is possible to have two working sim cards in the phone at one time if you want to.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_193658\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-193658\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-193658 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mikevandermeulen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wp-1736180036406352807900600893792-700x525-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-193658\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SIM tray, USB Type C 3.1 and Speaker<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Moving around to the left-hand side again we&#8217;ve got some more antenna brake lines and the all-important OnePlus toggle Alert Slider for vibrate mode, silent mode and all sound.

I love the way that they&#8217;ve tried to recreate the look of black rosewood with the etching that they&#8217;ve done on the glass. If you go with the Artic Dawn one, I believe the panel is just a plain white panel. And if you were to go with the Midnight Ocean version, then you do get a vegan leather microfiber back panel instead of a glass back panel, which does provide a nicer feel without using a case.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-193803 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mikevandermeulen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wp-1736611532055680870051991901489-700x525-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>However, I would always recommend you use a case with these phones as all it takes is one drop to end\u00a0up in some hot water!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Hardware<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The OnePlus 13 has been designed for durability. What I mean by this is that the manufacturer has been able to increase the IP rating over its previous generation to IP 68\/69. Now, while this may not mean very much to most users, myself included, It is reassuring to see that companies are actually thinking beyond the typical use case scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A lot of reviewers who were able to attend. In-person events have stated that they were able to expose the phone to various tests such as high-pressure water jets, high-temperature water jets and even going as far as the phone being put inside a mini washing machine. Now, I have not done this with my review device and I have no intention of doing it with my review device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But the phone does feel adequately solid in the hand and in my time using it, I have not sustained any damage or scuffs or marks. To the side rails of the phone. The rear of the phone. The only Mark I have managed to get is on the replacement screen protector which is there for that reason. Underneath the screen protector though, the screen is a hardened glass. I believe it uses Ceramic guard glass type, how does that relate to Corning Gorilla Glass ratings? I can&#8217;t be certain, however, that I have no concerns about any damage to this phone. As I&#8217;ve previously mentioned, I would always recommend using a case with the phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_193667\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-193667\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-193667 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mikevandermeulen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wp-17361800369246294920332017608863-700x525-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-193667\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rear<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OnePlus does offer some very compelling options for cases. Looking more closely at the cases, I was given the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneplus.com\/uk\/product\/product\/oneplus-13-sandstone-magnetic-case?_gl=1*jm4qak*_up*MQ..*_ga*ODY5ODg2ODQxLjE3MzY4MDE0NzI.*_ga_2JD4LD71G7*MTczNjgwMTQ3MS4xLjAuMTczNjgwMTQ3MS4wLjAuMzEzMjczODM4\">Sandstone Magnetic Charging Case<\/a>. This came with a strange piece of plastic in the box. Now it turns out that this piece of plastic is designed as a spacer insert because the OnePlus 13 in Black Eclipse or Arctic Dawn is ever so slightly thinner than the Midnight Ocean, So they made the cases slightly bigger to fit in the Midnight Ocean and have shipped a spacer. If you are using the Black Eclipse or Arctic Dawn<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Performance<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regarding the OnePlus 13&#8217;s performance. It is very difficult for me to quantify performance on any smartphone, recently released i.e. within the last year and a half to two years. As I don&#8217;t really do tasks that explicitly would affect the performance of a phone, the most task-intensive or memory-intensive task that I would potentially do would be having Either a game running or potentially running two apps side by side. I no longer do video editing on my device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But just to give you an idea of the performance, in terms of power that this phone actually has, I have performed a 3D Mark\u00a0 Benchmark, And I will provide the comparative results of this against a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Platform Device. In this case, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneplus.com\/uk\/buy-oneplus-pad-2?_gl=1*1rdhh0z*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjAxMjMxMjA1Ni4xNzM2ODAxMDQ5*_ga_2JD4LD71G7*MTczNjgwMTA0OC4xLjEuMTczNjgwMTMyNS4wLjAuMTY2ODI5ODk5MQ..\">OnePlus Pad 2<\/a> I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coolsmartphone.com\/2024\/09\/14\/oneplus-pad-2-review\/\">reviewed<\/a> recently. The results are as follows.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OnePlus Pad 2 score\u00a0 = 4576<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OnePlus 13\u00a0 Score = 6717<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That is almost a full 3rd better in that result alone. Now while this is a graphical test it does show a marked leap in performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coolsmartphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wp-17368016370788365698476036789326-349x768.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"gallery-gallery-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"318\" height=\"700\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" title=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mikevandermeulen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wp-17368016370788365698476036789326-318x700-1.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coolsmartphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/wp-17355627990098622578240142986492-1024x724.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"gallery-gallery-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"495\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" title=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mikevandermeulen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wp-17355627990098622578240142986492-700x495-1.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In terms of signal strength, Please see the signal and reception. Details below. As for battery performance, I have found that the phone will easily get me through one day and most of the way through a second day. Now, this is even with a high-load app running. It uses GPS called Life360, which is an app that I can my family to keep track of us all so we know when each of us will be home\u00a0 I have been very, very pleased with the battery life and I&#8217;ve had no reason to have any concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The phone will manage the application and battery usage fairly well without requiring any input from me. Unlike some of the other more Chinese style devices. I recently was able to test an Honor Magic V3 which continually tells me that apps were causing High battery drain in the background.\u00a0 I haven&#8217;t had anything like this on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneplus.com\/uk\/oneplus-13\">OnePlus 13<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Gaming<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As for gameplay, on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneplus.com\/uk\/oneplus-13\">OnePlus 13<\/a>, this this not an out-and-out gaming device but it can easily be utilised for playing high-intensity games without any problems. This is thanks to the 120-hertz refresh rate on the screen plus the awesome performance offered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As previously mentioned, I haven&#8217;t any high-intensity games that would specifically cause the phone to be challenged. However, during my fairly sedentary gameplay. I have noticed no performance slowdowns, dropped frame rates or anything of that kind. So if you are a gamer and you are looking to buy this phone then rest assured that from my experience and At least from what I&#8217;ve seen on other reviews. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneplus.com\/uk\/oneplus-13\">OnePlus 13<\/a> will not present any challenge for any existing game on the Android ecosystem. If Android were ever to adopt the AAA format that we are now starting to see on iOS then potentially you could come up against some issues, but I find this highly unlikely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Android games are developed primarily to run on mobile infrastructure and remember the Snapdragon 8. Elite chips are now also being utilised in laptops. That is capable of moderate to good gaming without too much strain and without the need for a dedicated GPU.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the areas where OnePlus has thought of Gamers though, is The aforementioned AirVOOC 50-watt Magnetic charger. This has been designed at least in my opinion to allow for you to have a means of recharging your phone and cooling it whilst gaming it does this very effectively via the fan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, even without the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneplus.com\/uk\/product\/product\/oneplus-airvooc-50w-magnetic-charger?_gl=1*1p0ablx*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjAxMjMxMjA1Ni4xNzM2ODAxMDQ5*_ga_2JD4LD71G7*MTczNjgwMTA0OC4xLjEuMTczNjgwMTMxNi4wLjAuMTY2ODI5ODk5MQ..\">AirVOOC 50-watt Magnetic charger,<\/a> I have not actually ever found a need for the phone to be externally cooled. Even with the case on the back as the cooling, is sufficient via the Liquid cooling chamber, that is built into the design. Which I have to say is an extensive one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you require more information about this, Then check out Jerryrigeverything\u2019s YouTube channel which has unlike myself done, a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qA2YOIEmaf4?si=0SdHsCMaaT038uHg\" data-rel=\"gallery-video-0\">complete teardown<\/a> of the OnePlus 13. I would encourage you to have a look at his where he will go through this for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Signal and call quality<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>On the OnePlus 13, I have found that the call quality and signal strength I am able to achieve is much better than I have been able to get on other devices such as my Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Now, while I don&#8217;t have any scientific way of measuring this improvement that I have experienced from using the phone, I have found that in areas where I previously had weak signal strength and was unable to make calls, this is no longer an issue.<br \/>With the OnePlus 13, this is hardly a surprise as I have previously experienced this increase in signal strength quality on the Nord 4, which I reviewed in the previous summer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I regularly have to drive a stretch of road almost every day where I can not receive or make a phone call or get any data reception at all on my Pixel 9 Pro Fold.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Whilst using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneplus.com\/uk\/oneplus-13\">OnePlus 13<\/a>, however, I have been able to see that I get a good enough signal for both voice calls and also for streaming media from the Internet, such as services like Spotify or Amazon Music. This is due in part to the new developments in antenna design that OnePlus premiered on the Nord 4 that was launched last summer.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Camera<\/span><\/p>\n<p>One area that has been highly touted with the OnePlus 13 is the camera. Now as I mentioned previously, the camera is composed of three separate lenses each lens is supported by a 50-megapixel sensor and each lens is also capable of utilising the OnePlus and Hasselblad cooperation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-193804 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"515\" title=\"OnePlus 13   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mikevandermeulen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-11-at-15.55.23-700x515-1.png\"><\/p>\n<p>I have used OnePlus devices with this Hasselblad tie-in previously back in the days of the OnePlus 10. I found that it didn&#8217;t really make much difference. So going into this review, I had mixed thoughts about the camera. What I can say is in normal bright conditions, this camera is most certainly up there with one of the best cameras I have used to date with a caveat.<\/p>\n<p>If you are the type of person who likes to zoom in to really capture details of items that are far away, then you may be somewhat disappointed. Although the zoom is capable of reaching up to 120 times in terms of zoom, after you go beyond 10 times zoom, you are very much in the realm of digital and AI enhanced zoom. This unfortunately does result in creating very messy and cartoon-like images. However, if you keep the zoom at a reasonable level, i.e. under 10 times, then you will have a good experience. I believe the camera will optically zoom up to six times and you will be told which lens you are using in terms of how that would relate to an actual proper DSLR camera lens.<\/p>\n<p><a

will be able to see what I mean about the higher zoom levels and the characterization or cartoon-like effect that it provides<\/p>\n<p>Another area where I was concerned about the camera quality was in low light. Now I have tried taking some low-light photos, both in complete darkness and where there is some partial illumination in complete darkness without the flash enabled. Even when using night mode, the camera struggles and you won&#8217;t get very good photos, however, most smartphone cameras would struggle in these conditions.<\/p>\n<p>When you have some light around, that makes things a little bit better, especially if you use the night mode and you select the tripod setting. As long as you can keep the phone stable, then you will get some good results. I have included a couple of nighttime shots below for you to appraise and give your opinion on, as well as some daylight shots.<\/p>\n<p><a
