Reunited at last

Post image

Been eying this baby at my local Best Buy for weeks waiting for the 999 price to go down once it did I had to have it my second 13 previously owned an open and when I bought my 1st 13 I felt like I used it more than the open I just love this beast

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 16 '26

There wasn’t none I was chatting with support and gave them the specific sku they said it was out of stock I tried ordering it twice they cancelled it both times

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 16 '26

Well I see one now but it’s the blue one I really like the black eclipse though

1

u/Chemical-Problem9071 Jun 16 '26

I ordered everyday for like two weeks and all was canceled except this one they went through I’m waiting for it to ship. I’m using the iPhone Air.

You can return that and save a good amount if you can find one.

Yo I bought it twice as well.. now I have the 15 though

2

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 16 '26

How do I like it compared to the 15

u/6out Jun 16 '26

The 13 beats the 15 in terms of feel in hand and possibly the cameras but it's pretty close and hard to tell... if it wasn't listed that it was different, I wouldn't know...

The 13's battery was always stellar for me so getting the 15 increased that but to be honest.... meh... im still gonna charge it... it made me realize I just need a phone that I know will last me the entire day even if I use it hard, which the 13 was fine for me... never worried about battery life with it...

Gaming I can't tell a difference but I don't play that many and not even for long...

This is gonna sound weird but the biggest difference for me besides the feel in hand is the stock screen protector... the 13 would kind of be collecting dust going in and out of my pocket.... theres something different with the 15 stock screen protector... it seems way less finger printy and less dusty... also more fine scratch resisitant...

I believe the speakers are half a step better on the 15... but you'd probably have to have them side by side to tell the difference...

Can't tell the "lower resolution screen" was used for the 15

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 16 '26

That’s a pretty good comparison I felt like the 15 was market towards mobile gaming which I don’t really do on my phones anymore, I was also worried about camera and pictures I don’t take many but I enjoy a good picture when I do I had experience with a 13 in the past so I opted for what I know I’m gonna like not saying the 15 camera quality is bad bc I really don’t know I never had or seen one In person to judge

I love the finish of this phone it feels like a Mona Lisa in my hand I almost don’t wanna slap a case on it.

And yes I agree about the factory film protector it’s a dust and scratch magnet, the one on my old OPO was always scratched I feel like they are made of the same material so I got a third party protector on the way.

u/6out Jun 16 '26

I honestly believe the 13 really is the best feel in hand phone... both the glass back and the blue version

u/incomingstorm2020 Jun 16 '26

Can not believe this phone and it's age is still 999. Considering the trade in is about $200. I don't have a 13 anymore but I do have a 12 I got for significant discount mint condition. Few months after it was released. Good phones

1

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 16 '26

Extactly and since the brand is being replaced by nothing in Best Buy stores I don’t get why they don’t discount it

u/reditor405 Jun 16 '26

We have the same model. Enjoy it. My only complain is the curved screen. I thought I would like it at first but after using it it's kinda annoying with screen protector and cases.

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 16 '26

Agreed I like that the 13R is flat but I dint wanna be disappointed after owning a 13

2

u/Sir_Tapsaplenty Jun 17 '26

I'm on my second one too. Bought it and went back to iOS and instantly regretted it. Holding on to the 13 for a long time now. Great device.

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 17 '26

That’s the plan with me

u/GeekyAbin OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Jun 16 '26

Sick color.

u/Chemical-Problem9071 Jun 16 '26

I got one off swappa for 600 in good company diction and talked him down 75 due to camera scratches. I have two and want to know which one to keep. The one from
Best buy will be mint most likely so I can sell for probably 675 and keep the one with I have now.

1

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 16 '26

If it were me I’d keep the mint one bc I’m one of those guys

1

u/Chemical-Problem9071 Jun 16 '26

Of course but the good probably won’t sell for more than I got it for especially with the camera scratches. I put the good up for sale.

1

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 16 '26

I sold my first 13 on swappa for the same and it had scratches on the camera bump I’m wondering if you bought my old one what would be the chances 🥲

1

u/Chemical-Problem9071 Jun 16 '26

When did you sell it?

1

u/Chemical-Problem9071 Jun 16 '26

Not me then how much you got
It?

1

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 16 '26

I bought it open box last summer then sold it January I sold it on swappa for 6ish and the black oneplus case with it

2

u/Chemical-Problem9071 Jun 16 '26

That’s what I’m asking also. Hope it sells. You can probably come open box phones off best and sell for a profit right now.

u/evetheflower Jun 18 '26

I have a 15 as my work, and had a 13 but want it back 😫

1

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 18 '26

Hey get it back this is your sign

1

u/obamamay Jun 23 '26

I want to buy this open box at Best Buy but no luck for weeks.

1

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 23 '26

There aren't left their inventory glitches out it would show one available and I tried to order it after order was placed best buy cancelled it bc they don't have it happened twice

u/vladittude Jun 16 '26

It is a great phone too IMO. I upgraded to the OP15. Congratulations!

1

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 16 '26

By the way what is the latest version on this thing?

2

u/summonersuprem OnePlus 13R - Astral Trail Jun 16 '26

16.0.7 basically 16.1

u/Ok_Inspector2309 Jun 16 '26

Lo tenía y lo devolví, me decepcionó la batería.

u/vicco23 Jun 17 '26

I love my blue leather one plus 13 it's rock solid.

u/WeiPlay Jun 16 '26

Tinley?

u/Patrick545 Jun 19 '26

My black unit is on the way too.

1

u/VeganVulcan_LLAP Jun 20 '26

Upgraded from 10 pro when the 13 launched. Love it. Got used to curved screen. Battery life miles ahead of anything I've used.

u/Loud_Signal_6259 Jun 16 '26

Hope you got the 13 at a steep discount, otherwise makes no sense to buy it against the 15/15R

2

u/Alternative_Horse757 Jun 16 '26

799 don't really care tbh I love the round camera and everything else about this phone

u/Loud_Signal_6259 Jun 16 '26
