OnePlus ended 2024 with a few without a doubt thrilling announcements. It wasn`t the exceptional yr for the BBK-owned emblem in India, however after you have rejected with the aid of using a huge organization of cell retailers, the business enterprise determined to show matters round with the aid of using going with an inner rejig. After this, it tried to cease the yr on an excellent observe with the aid of using pronouncing a sparkling new course for the emblem. OnePlus determined to address the sizeable project of habitual display-associated inexperienced line problems, that have plagued the emblem’s handsets for years. It additionally introduced that it has now no longer best labored on solving the hassle with upcoming gadgets however might additionally offer a life-time alternative guarantee for all of its phone models. Also delivered turned into Project Starlight, part of OnePlus’ efforts to overtake its customer support revel in in India.
With underlying problems now swept clean, OnePlus has subsequently introduced its all-new OnePlus thirteen. It is the successor to the OnePlus 12, which turned into a right all-rounder in our review. The OnePlus thirteen is a emblem-new tool with a brand new layout course, packs AI software program hints and masses of uncooked overall performance and battery life. Like the Oppo Find X8 Pro, which obtained a brand new Quick Button and magnetic matters, OnePlus additionally were given to choose a brand new function from the BBK bin, and it determined to feature magnetic wi-fi powered. It is just like what Oppo gives through the equal magnetic matters, which had been silently released in India closing yr for apparent reasons. After trying out out the telecellsmartphone for weeks, I need to say that the OnePlus thirteen needs to be one of the maximum bold smartphones from the emblem to date.
- OnePlus thirteen Design: Slimmer and… modular?
- Dimensions – 162.nine x 76.five x 8.5mm
- Weight – 213g
- Durability – IP68 + IP69
I obtained the OnePlus thirteen withinside the new Arctic Dawn end, the maximum simple a number of the three. The black colourway referred to as Black Eclipse is reserved for the maximum high-cease garage version and has a matte black body and wooden grain-like texture, giving it a completely unique sense and appearance. The Midnight Ocean color is the maximum specific one, supplying a mirror-end body with a microfibre vegan leather-based fabric that appears and feels luxurious.
Despite receiving the maximum simple colourway, I am inspired as to how OnePlus has controlled to make a slimmer tool (in comparison to the OnePlus 12) with a better ability battery even as enhancing its IP score and preserving its speedy wi-fi powered tech.
The OnePlus thirteen’s layout does seem a chunk acquainted to Oppo’s Find X8 Pro however feels a chunk lighter. Thanks to its mirror-end aluminium body and flat sides, it gives greater grip than the latter. While the body (chassis) has flat sides, the rear and the front panels have additionally been flattened (in comparison to the rounded OnePlus 12) with curved edges that seamlessly merge with the body.
The telecellsmartphone’s water and dirt resistance has obtained a stable improve this yr and is now IP69-certified.
