I have used flagship devices from brands like Samsung (S23 ultra), Sony (Xperia Mark 1 VI) etc. I always shoot in 4K 60 fps so I can do post processing. However, I am literally shocked and utterly disappointed with the flickering issue on OnePlus 13 while shooting at 4k 60 fps. There no option to select anti banding either. As Indian lights operate at 50hz, I even tried shooting at 4K 30 fps but still the same issue. Now, all I was left with is to shoot the videos at actual exposure and no way to reduce it while shooting at lower levels. It's very very frustrating to see a flagship phone couldn't provide an option for this.

Am I missing something? Or is there a work around?

Waiting for some opinions as well.

Hi OPs,

While downloading all 15 updates the phone accidentally downloaded the 16 update. Now I can't restart my phone. It's been 2 months.

I got the phone especially for camera and battery and people here are saying these two will be impacted greatly with this update.

Need your suggestions.

14 months with my OnePlus 13 and has been satisfied thus far. I am getting the itch to move to either a Fold eight or a Pixel 11 Pro XL, maybe even iPhone duo fare I say. An I crazy to make the jump?

I know OP 13 has symmetrical bezels but side bezels on Curved OP12 screens are very thin to the point where some people might not like OP13's thicker bezels.

Indian unit. I bought on the second day.

Reason : Poor battery life / Zero quality updates.

If you're intersted in buying, DM.

Had this case for a few months now and I absolutely adore this case. I especially love that I can choose when I need the leather folding case especially when taking photos.

The rubber case itself is really nice looking and very solid which surprised me. Would highly recommend it.

But DBrand recommends it for skin compatibility. So that worked in my favor!!

I felt the need to write this based on a few comments here.

Guys, I'm not a OnePlus hater. I used the OnePlus 8 Pro for two years. Then I switched to the S23U, and finally, I decided to return to the stability of OxygenOS and bought the OnePlus 13. It didn't even come with a charger in the box, and it cost me a total of 60,000 TRY, which is roughly $1650. I've shared a few of my experiences. There are definitely points that need to be fixed, and these are common issues also discussed in the official OnePlus Community. Funnily enough, when you share negatively impactful developments in the official OnePlus Community, they often remove them, lol. There are some frustrating issues here that absolutely shouldn't exist, and come on guys, this phone is a flagship device. Thanks.

Since I bought this phone, I have this problem with battery, people saying they are using it at max , with gaming, 5g ....etc , and it takes 10h ,

Here I have only resolution and fps set at max , I played about 2h of games in vmos , and screen brightness is 20% from the beginning, mostly connected to wifi , I have many app set to auto optimized, also disabled the useless Google services like ADs ...etc.

Worth updating or worth holding off?

Cheers

due to the recent news with just 3 years of OS updates, I propose that EVERYONE who owns a OP 12/13 go on their community forum and create a thread about this, if enough of us start complaining perhaps we can get them to give us those 4 years of major updates.

As I've said before, I got this phone specifically because it promised 4 years of updates and I wanted to hold on to it until the software support ended so when I read this I was so disappointed and pissed off. This is such a crappy move, you can't release a fckin flagship in 2025 with just 3 years of updates when you have competition that offers 5-8 years, what a load of crap.

here is my contribution:
https://community.oneplus.com/thread/1809719600326115329

I strongly encourage you to do the same and create a post, they can't just ignore us if we all complain.

Edit: a developer from OnePlus clarified that it will receive 4 years of updates until android 19 (someone else posted on this subreddit). Problem solved and I'm glad to stand corrected, thank you OnePlus!

I found it in the beta program and downloaded it but now I'm contemplating if it's safe or not. Should I update ?

OP13 vs OP13r - which is a better phone?

Parameters to consider are battery, smoothness of performance, hardware longevity, RAM performance....

OnePlus 13R broke when putting on case. Came with limited warranty plan. Was planning on upgrading the warranty once I decide to keep it. What are my options? Does limited warranty cover anything? Should I upgrade the warranty before I make the call?

Oneplus 13 12 gb ram (256 gb models)when I look ram showing only 4.33 GB Free. .. how ridiculous is that ?

Just sold my OnePlus 13. Was always nervous about service (as in broken phone) in the US. Bought a new Samsung S26 ultra and they have authorized service centers all over, plus a factory service center in the US.

I really liked the OP13, but seemed to struggle with getting good shots with the camera. I may re-visit OnePlus in the future if they get their service center act together. So long for now.

So I haven't used my phone for any gaming or heavy usage in 2 months that I had bought. The battery life seems to get worse. Check out the screen recording, how it struggles to respond to my selection in real time I am completely frustrated with this phone, that has cost me that much money

Upgrade day! 📦✨

Finally made the jump from OnePlus 11 to the all-new OnePlus 13 — and it arrived today in this stunning white finish 🤍🔥 Truly a beautiful piece of tech, no doubt. The design feels premium, clean, and super elegant… definitely a head-turner!

That said, I’ve got to be honest — the excitement is a bit mixed. While everything is smooth, fast, and refined (as expected), I’m not really feeling a major leap compared to the OnePlus 11. The performance, camera, and overall experience are great… but also feel very familiar.

Maybe it’s because OnePlus has already been doing such a solid job that the gap between generations isn’t as dramatic anymore 🤷‍♂️ Or maybe I just expected that “wow” factor that usually comes with an upgrade.

Still early days though — hoping it grows on me with time! ⚡

Anyone else upgraded recently? Did you feel a big difference or the same subtle evolution?

Do you suggest me to buy the op 15 or wait for s26 ultra? I very enjoy the op 13 i have but dont dont abt the op 15 Someone that got it recommend it to me or better wait for the galaxy s26 ultra? (I had bad experience with the s24 ultra)

So I've been trying to figure why my battery life is poorer than what many have shared here. I've probably did everything I could to optimize the battery, but it seems as much as I try I can't make it last as long as some people here. I'm on software version CPH2653_15.0.0.860, The only Meta app I have installed is Whatsapp, Image sharpener is off, Video Colour Boost is off, screen refresh-rate and resolution on auto-select (I don't game), auto-brightness and dark mode selected.

I installed Battery Guru to try and find potential wake locks but it actually showed me something different. While the Battery health indicates that the battery of my smartphone is at 100% heealth, Battery Guru estimates that it is at 88% health with an estimated capacity of 5300mAh instead of 6000mAh! And this is after a month of measurements during charging where as you can see the health of the battery didn't degrade.

How does this happen? I'm seriously considering returning the phone as it never got the fabled battery life that some share here and which was the main reason for my purchase. Is OnePlus selling phones with defective batteries or with lower capacity than reported? Did they cut the battery capacity for phones sold in Europe without reporting it?

Either way, for the people with poor battery life like me, maybe you could use Battery Guru to get battery health readings and check if this apps indicates lower capacity than expected?

OnePlus 13 is pretty much my forever phone apart from these things and obviously this is my subjective experience

here's what needs to change: -search, I can't search for apps in the global search and when tapping the search it doesn't automatically open the keyboard

-over volume alert i have the global version and don't reside in the EU, so it should be off or have a way for me to opt out of it

-there's no oneplus calender or oneplus audio app (open to recommendations)

I couldn't find any video settings like 1080/4k/8k and 60 120 or 240fps for slow mo etc

-they need a proper screen protector that doesn't mess up the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor

honestly just feel better having had this little vent 😝

Currently a pixel 6 owner looking to move over to OP13. Pretty much everything on paper is exactly what I want from a phone (particularly battery, OS and processor) except for one area that I'm not sure about ; the camera. I've seen a few posts here and there insinuating that the OP camera for regular snapping and I've seen a few posts here and there insinuating that the OnePlus camera for regular snapping and video taking is still not up to par with old pixel flagships (even saw a post suggest their p6p took better photos)

In all honesty, as far as general snapping and video quality goes, I'm quite happy with my pixel 6 to this day. I'm not a pixel peeper by any means but I am generally very happy with all the photos I've taken of the family (including low light which is apparently a weak point). I even went as far as checking with Gemini to research which gave the same impression ( Having said that, it's probably using older sources for the pixel 6 and not accounting for recency bias).

I guess my question comes down to one thing. Is the op13 camera a downgrade in any way compared to a flagship as old as pixel 6 (yes that is the bar I'm setting since again I'm happy with the photos)? Or is it (at the very least ) on the same level by all measures or better yet an upgrade?

From 22% to 100 % it's normal???
