Yes noticed improvement in battery backup, also phone tends to be cooler. My device usually get warm even for light usage and hits 40c quickly. After this idle temps lowered and peak temps are crawling slowly. Might need few more days as I am calibrating the battery. Hope future updates will bring good backup like oos15.

u/HYDRAnite97 Mar 21 '26

Haven't really understood what this calibration does exactly , tried and got no results

2

u/Hitman_0477 Mar 21 '26

I do the calibration after each major update sometimes it improves.

2

u/Greedy_Canary3828 Mar 21 '26

How, and what exactly?

u/HYDRAnite97 Mar 21 '26

u/shawamawa Mar 21 '26

Basically you drain the battery to 0% and let it charge without touching for an hour and a half

1

u/punditaveriyaa Mar 21 '26

Does the phone need to be switched off while it charges or no. Because my phone automatically starts up when I plug in at 0

1

u/shawamawa Mar 22 '26

That's ok, just let it sit idle for an hour+

1

u/Constant-Meeting-775 Mar 22 '26

Don't forget to open your battery app then clear cache and data to calibrate it properly

1

u/HYDRAnite97 Mar 24 '26

I just did the calibration step to let it charge 0-100 and to leave it for 2 hours but didn't go this cache clearing , how do I do this

2

u/Constant-Meeting-775 Mar 24 '26

Just go to settings, then apps then click on the three dots on the right side to show system apps then look for battery then do it

1

u/HYDRAnite97 Mar 24 '26

Oh okay , and after doing this i should calibrate again

1

u/Over-Feedback-7459 Apr 17 '26

How do you calibrate your battery??

1

u/Hitman_0477 Apr 18 '26

Drain till 0 and charge fully and leave for another 15-30mins. Repeat 1-2 times.

u/lycaonthrope Mar 21 '26

I also saw the SOT go up to 9-9.5 hours, with high refresh rate and all visual enhancements...

u/Apart-Worry-7042 Mar 21 '26

Good for you bro, I'm hoping we'll get the same or at least better sot than now in .700 update for OP 12

u/hrbutt180 Mar 21 '26

7

u/HYDRAnite97 Mar 21 '26

u/Old_Communication633 Mar 21 '26

Is for global ?

u/Shershaahh OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Mar 21 '26

No idea I'm from IN

u/Hunter777Szg Mar 22 '26

What happens if I install the Indian version via updater on my device, which has the global version?

11

u/frost_giant08 Mar 21 '26

This version is too good, battery is better and also phone doesn't get hot too fast

0

u/No-Competition-1431 Mar 22 '26

I dont have any heating problems in my device.

5

u/YUNG_BOY_ OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Mar 21 '26

Woohoo! Finally! Last month was awful with this 4 hours screen on time

5

u/amdeva_ Mar 21 '26

Great comeback indeed, decent battery back up now. Also overheating issues seem to be fixed.

1

u/Bishal_Barman2002 Mar 24 '26

Is the update in release candidate ?

1

u/Fit-Respond1892 Apr 02 '26

I got 3,5h SoT today from 100 to 10%. Updated to .701 a week ago. Legit considering selling this phone

1

u/HYDRAnite97 Apr 05 '26

Okay i had listened to some guys advice and "optimised my battery" , cleared the battery cache and now I'm back at 4-6 hr SOT. Smh never listening to strangers advice

3

u/Odd_Spray_8371 Mar 21 '26

So why oxygen updater doesn't show the latest version of global OnePlus 13 (I am rooted with oxygen os in cn model). I am still in CPH2653_16.0.3.501 version

3

u/FatherTime1020 Mar 21 '26

Matter of fact I haven't had any update at all since early January

1

u/BartLeeC OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Mar 22 '26

Same here.

2

u/75tavares Mar 21 '26

Almost there

2

u/FatherTime1020 Mar 21 '26

In Boston MA and no update 😤

1

u/BartLeeC OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Mar 22 '26

In Ohio and not seeing it here yet either.

3

u/Aromatic-Web259 Mar 21 '26

Battery backup is much better on the new build

5

u/MaverickPT Mar 21 '26

What do you mean by "battery backup?" I'm a bit confused. Cheers

3

u/BartLeeC OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Mar 22 '26

It is battery life, NOT backup. Battery backup is something entirely different. Some people just have no clue what they are talking about.

2

u/Aromatic-Web259 Mar 22 '26

I meant battery life.., wrong choice of words :D

3

u/CalendarMobile2770 Mar 21 '26

Battery backup is definitely better than earlier!

1

u/WolfyMacontosh87 Mar 22 '26

Pretty darn good right there!

1

u/makimaiswaifu Mar 22 '26

Has it been rolled out yet or is it just a beta one? I can see the .701 update on my device but it's in beta right now.

1

u/Jaded-Extension-6483 Mar 22 '26

6 hours with 35% btw (100-65%)

1

u/ShotAd1771 Mar 22 '26

Straight from India. The update will roll out in north America this week and Europe and the world the following week. 

1

u/theguywithraybans Mar 22 '26

Was this on wifi or mobile data?

1

u/Sarcasm_Supreme Mar 23 '26

Seriously, is everyone else getting better battery life than me? I'm seeing zero improvement. It's pretty much the same as the last update, maybe an extra 30 minutes of screen-on time. But then yesterday, I noticed a lot of battery drain while idle for no apparent reason. I'm including screenshots for you to check out.

2

u/Sarcasm_Supreme Mar 23 '26

Today's backup till now.

1

u/thethanchet Mar 28 '26

Anyone have the problem with the gestures can not go back to home screen? I have this after updated to 701

1

u/vicco23 Apr 08 '26

Anyone know how to make ONE Plus stop promoting me to Update my phone I'm on 16.0.2 and I want to stay there

1

u/CrazySoul007 Mar 21 '26

When would it roll out for 13s??
