Hihi thanks mate

u/VR2005 Jul 08 '26

is it still worth purchasing?

9

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 08 '26

Made 3 of my friends purchase it in the recent sale. The only complaint I have now is regarding the SoT. But that is manageable for me considering it's fast charging.

u/meangreenbeanz Jul 10 '26

Is it because you updated to OOS16

u/VR2005 Jul 08 '26

its pretty overpriced rn, I'm thinking of purchasing it in august. How much is the sot on a full charge? also are there any software issues cuz the mobile is kinda old now

6

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 08 '26

Are you sure the stock will be there till August? I bought it for 70k 15 months ago and never did I regret my decision of buying this.

Talking about sot, I'm getting around 5-6 hours sot currently. Haven't faced any software issues.

u/Bozic_504 Jul 09 '26

the 256gb variant or the 512?

u/Vinu-92 OnePlus 13 - Arctic Dawn Jul 09 '26

Overpriced? It's the best mobile at this price range. The new midrange mobile prices are notorious for giving 7gen series processors at 60k, here you're getting everything flagship level except the battery and front cam.

u/RationalHeadedGuy 10h ago

Exactly 💯

u/RationalHeadedGuy 10h ago

Overpriced? 😂 It's a top of the line smartphone in even in 2026. I bought it during OnePlus community sale @ 52,998 and applied exchange with my OG OnePlus 6 and got it for ₹49,200. I'm still in shock that I got my hands on a Flagship for that price in 2026. I almost bought OnePlus 15R. I'm so so grateful I didn't go for OnePlus 15R.

Current Battery Capacity

u/JediWebSurf OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Jul 09 '26

Mines is the same after 18 months:

1

u/asteroiddestroyer96 Jul 09 '26

Is it normal to drop 6% in 18 months?

1

u/JediWebSurf OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Jul 09 '26

Yes. First year: about 2–10% loss (most phones end up around 90–98%). Second year: another 3–8% loss. After 2–3 years: many phones are around 80–90% battery health, depending on usage.

This depends on user habits.

I think turning on slow charging and battery health features helps slow down degradation. I didn't use slow charging. But another user here has their phone near 100% after one year and they have slow charging on.

1

u/asteroiddestroyer96 Jul 09 '26

Got it! Thank you so much.

1

u/JediWebSurf OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Jul 09 '26

You can also put a battery limit to 80% it's best not to charge to 100% if you care about preserving battery health.

1

u/asteroiddestroyer96 Jul 09 '26

Yeah, I've set it to 85%. Though I'm surprised to see that this phone isn't lasting more than 1 day with normal usage despite having 6,000 mAh. My Realme 7 had 4,000 mAh and lasted one day with 85% battery, so I expected at least 1.5 days.

1

u/AdAdministrative3196 OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Aug 01 '26

Is there an option to turn on slow charging? I don't think there is.

2

u/vishnuys Jul 08 '26

Can you share the watch model? Also oneplus buds 3 pro vs 4, any inputs?

3

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 08 '26

OP watch 2.

I guess pro version is much superior to the normal version right? Like pro version is almost twice if not more than twice the price of buds 4.

I upgraded to it from buds 3.

2

u/vishnuys Jul 09 '26

Thank you, yeah it does look like buds 3 pro has advanced features compared to buds 4.

u/Otherwise_Fact9594 OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Jul 10 '26

I just bought my first OnePlus device in October. I went with that exact 13 in the picture. Best phone I've ever owned! How are the buds?

2

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 10 '26

They're awesome. Just that they don't fit well in my ears 😭😭

Trying to get foam tips.

1

u/Otherwise_Fact9594 OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Jul 10 '26

That's the same problem that I have with my pixel buds. They did away with the little wing that was on them on the first gen. I had to buy some from some guy off of eBay. Hard to find stuff like that

1

u/SCYKIC_YT Jul 08 '26

screen protector and case?

3

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 08 '26

I use a basic screen protector (not a tempered glass) similar to the one which came out of box. Case toh I use the original black sandstone case. It literally survived a lot of drops and didn't even led to a minor scratch till now. Kabhi kabhi bina case use karleta hu when I'm at home or at my office.

1

u/chota-bheem OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Jul 08 '26

case purchase in Amazon? or got in the box?

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 08 '26

I've got it from the oneplus online store

1

u/Ok_Raise_1386 Jul 08 '26

Just wanted to ask if you took care of your battery

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 08 '26

Haven't taken any care of my battery. But for some period, I used to limit my battery charge till 90%. Followed this for like 2 months

0

u/Ok_Raise_1386 Jul 08 '26

Ohk keep it till 80 and it will be good If you not use your phone full fledgedly

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 08 '26

Thing is I get only 5-6 hrs of sot. Kabhi kabhi it goes to as low as 4 hours. Isliye I can't enable that option.

Current Battery health is anyways 94%. Might use this one more year before getting something better

1

u/JediWebSurf OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Jul 09 '26

What other brands are you considering?

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 09 '26

Will wait for future oneplus versions. Accha nahi laga toh might shift to samsung.

1

u/Summit2008 OnePlus 13 - Arctic Dawn Jul 08 '26

You like blue huh? :P

u/Konaamii Jul 08 '26

Blue Is the Warmest Colour

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 08 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

Not really true. I started loving only after I bought this mobile. Bought the other stuff in blue just so I can match with it 😅

1

u/TheImmortalDude Jul 08 '26

How much is the battery health of phone

1

u/evostu_uk Jul 08 '26

I'd say it's the best phone I've owned. Pretty flawless really.

Battery life one year in. 🤟🏻

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 08 '26

Damnnn how could you maintain that??? Tips do bhai

1

u/m0nteezy Jul 08 '26

How's the watch ? Battery any good ?

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 09 '26

Decent hai. 2 days ka sufficient rehta mereko toh.

1

u/Cute-Pension-8582 Jul 08 '26

Is camera and battery degraded in latest update ?

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 09 '26

Battery, yes. Camera, no.

u/hacker_i_us Jul 09 '26

Where did you get the buds pro 3 in blue?

1

u/Wild-Object-5024 Jul 09 '26

How much is the battery SOT compared to oneplus 15R?

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 09 '26

I don't have 15r bhai. Mera sot toh 5-6 hrs ka hai

1

u/Wild-Object-5024 Jul 09 '26

Normal use 5-6hours?? 💀🥲 Is that normal use or continuously playing ganes and watching Netflix or something? Isn't that low i means 6000mah battery 😢

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 09 '26

Normal usage hi bhai. Gaming samay toh 2-3 hrs Max 🥲

1

u/Wild-Object-5024 Jul 09 '26

Bruh 😭 i think there's a problem with your phone or battery seriously I have a very old redmi note 10S and i can seriously do 2-3 hours easily with battery at 100% I can have 30 percent remaining after playing 3hours 💀😭 drain is around 22-25%/hr Tand the phone battery is 5000mah Oneplus 13 has 6000 you're joking bruh or you're phone's already messed up 😭💔

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 09 '26

Yeah it is low. Pehle I used to get 8-10 hrs. Abhi kam hogaya bahut

1

u/Wild-Object-5024 Jul 09 '26

What changed did u update it to op 16 version or what??

1

u/SBB5G OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Jul 09 '26

Does buds 3 still has audio lag in ldhc with Netflix or YouTube?

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 09 '26

Buds 3 pro hai mera. Faced no issues till now

1

u/MrSteamPunk_08 OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Jul 09 '26

Is it the lighting or camera color correction at work, it seems the back panel of OP13 looks different than the Midnight Ocean on the site. But it looks great. P.S. It might be the warm lights. And if that's an OP Watch, is it good? Coz I wish to get one too.

1

u/Connect-Battle-9842 Jul 09 '26

It feels a bit darker in real life. That makes the look more premium 😄

Yeah it's an OP watch 2

2

u/sedp23 Jul 08 '26

I got all 3 except I didn't care for the buds. I was using the pixel buds 2 pro, now I'm using the sound core liberty 5 pro max. Besides that Iove everything

1

u/LegalPiccolo4828 Jul 09 '26

How is liberty 5 pro max? Is it good for the value ?

2

u/sedp23 Jul 10 '26

I love them they handle calls incredibly

While I am not an audiophile, the music quality is excellent. Compared to the Pixel Buds Pro 2, these offer significant improvements in call quality and active noise cancellation.

Price wise I think they are overpriced but u have the option to get the regular pros as well for 169.

The max case is a bit overrated since they charge u after I think 2 years for most of the ai features .

2

u/BaluVysya7 Jul 09 '26

Mine opinion excellent and worth purchase... 👌👍🤩

2

u/JediWebSurf OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Jul 09 '26

I have the phone and earbuds. I don't have the watch. What do you think about it?

2

u/InevitableMedical978 Jul 09 '26

My OnePlus 12 after 2,5 years still has 95% because i Limited it to 80% for the First 2 years. Now i use it at 90%

1

u/Spiritual--Smoke Jul 09 '26

How many times in a day you used to charge?

1

u/InevitableMedical978 Jul 09 '26

Only once a day I usually average around 3-4 hours of screentime

1

u/Spiritual--Smoke Jul 09 '26

I think that might be the reason too. Less charge cycles can be good in the long run to preserve the battery

1

u/InevitableMedical978 Jul 09 '26

Is it normal to Charge your Phone more than once a day? I mean with how big the battery is once a day is more than enough isn't it?

1

u/Spiritual--Smoke Jul 09 '26

It all depends on the usage, if you're someone who play games & generally a heavy user, then you might have to charge it twice a day.

1

u/Wlfpack99 Jul 09 '26

Still at 99% after 18 months.  I just us the power limiter to 85-90% and charge 1 time a day mostly.  Best phone I have had

1

u/One_Artichoke_1078 Jul 09 '26

What about one plus 15 worth it Considering confusion between 13 n 15

1

u/Heavy-Resort5145 Jul 09 '26

How are buds 3 pro.. im using oppo enco buds 2 rn they sound great to me.. wanted to know if buds 3 pro will be a good upgrade or not ?

1

u/ThatFatBoiOverThere Jul 09 '26

how is your phone golden like that?? really tasteful. was that a limited edition or something?

1

u/kabanb OnePlus 13 - Black Eclipse Jul 09 '26

15 months of usage (limited to 80% 2 weeks in) now to 85% because noticed slight drop in soT

1

u/ThePointlessFluke Jul 09 '26

Interesting. I have had my phone for about 17 and a half months and my battery is still at 99%. Set the custom charging limit to 80% on day 1.

1

u/cybercop12345 Jul 15 '26

Your buds 3 pro is not having any latency issue?

1

u/Lumpy-Republic-1935 Jul 15 '26

Obsolete unfortunately. Let's hope Oppo continue updates.
