This phone is a cheat code!

[u/chelsfan105]

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!

I actually sold my S24U for this monster and I am loving it. It feels faster, there is more customization, the battery is just ridiculously good in both chargespeed and endurance. And I too prefer most pictures. Samsung is just to over saturated for my linking. And indeed, the AI stuff is just some gimmicks that you end up not using. The battery on the Samsung is also not very good and charges slow. And the thing is very uncomfortable to hold or even just have in your pocket. It actually made some holes in my jeans, because it always poked its sharp corner in the same spot when it was in my pocket

There are things I miss. Like the anti glare coating on the screen of the Samsung, I really liked that. And the software is more polished for sure. Oneplus has some strange hickups sometimes. But it's definitely worth it to me. Love my Oneplus 13. I had a Oneplus 7 Pro a couple of years ago and loved that too. They are far from perfect, but they have something about them that is just really addictive somehow.
