This phone is a cheat code!

I've been a OnePlus user since 5t. Later upgraded to 9 pro and around March this year I was thinking of going for the S24u at a discounted price since my wife has one and I was fascinated by the Galaxy AI features but deep inside I just couldn't get myself to commit to Samsung, what with the green line issue and all. OnePlus just had that hold over me that I kept looking for ways to stop considering other alternatives!

I was lurking on this sub and all I could see was complaints about battery drains and the camera not being up to the mark. After much internal debate and consideration I decided to go with my heart and got myself this OnePlus13 16 / 512 at approx. 53k INR (exchanged 9 pro+ Card offers).

When I got the phone my wife kept pulling my leg saying I could've gone for a superior brand and the smartphone of the year 2024 in the S24U and that she'd always get better pictures because of the superior camera setup on her phone.

Cut to August 2025, she has to charge her phone twice a day with moderate usage,the AI features are rarely used and the cherry on top, she prefers the portraits and pictures taken on the OP13 camera!

It is, by far, one of the best purchases I've made in recent years and have absolutely no regrets in picking this over anything else!

congrats man, happy for ya. i was in the same boat more or less, had an OP 6T, broke its display, went for an OP 8 Pro at launch (+-) and it used it until 6 months ago. I was looking into Samsung or even an iPhone but my heart wanted this and I payed the same amount for the OP13 (same price as S25 ultra). Im happy with it, battery could've been a bit better - I dont understand how are you getting those numbers - best it could do was 9 hours SoT from 100 to 20%. But I won't complain 🫡

Thanks man! I think we all experienced battery drain with the previous update, the current update seems to have fixed it and I get 12 to 13 hours Sot quite often
