OnePlus 13 Raises The Bar. And Its Price Too!

Ahead of Samsung's extravagant launch event for the Galaxy S25 series smartphones, OnePlus brings its lineup of high-end premium smartphones in India. The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R will take care of the brand's fight against the likes of the iPhone 16, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 series and the slightly forgotten Google Pixel 9 series. 

The global variant is barely any different from the one that came out in China a few months ago and that's not necessarily a bad move. Featuring Qualcomm's newest Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite chipset, Hasselblad-tuned cameras and an exotic design theme, this is a tempting phone for enthusiasts who seek to exploit the capabilities for content creation and gaming. Or those who simply wish to flaunt their wealth.

Regardless of the category you fall in, the OnePlus 13 series looks impressive and here's all you need to know, starting with the prices.

Is there anything special about the OnePlus 13 series?

Since we are a tad lazy, we would like to refer you to one of our previous stories, which discusses in detail all the specifications and features of both phones. Both these phones impress highly with high-end Qualcomm chips, a bunch of nifty generative AI tools, a pair of highly capable cameras and promising battery life. 

Of course, we can only comment more on these devices once we get our hands on them. Until then, here's our early tip for those interested in these phones:

Those using a OnePlus 9 or older should consider upgrading to the OnePlus 13, since the gains in user experience should be considerably noticeable. Similarly, the OnePlus 13R makes sense for those using their old OnePlus 9T or any other cheaper phone.
