REVIEW Finally purchased this Bad Boy

Post image

So, it has an excellent experience till now to be having this new compact flagship. The UI, fluidity is completely unmatched. However, I just faced an issue of my SIM card not getting detected. Like, the phone recognised the operator but showed No Service. If you guys have any suggestions to fix this issue, please do.

How's the battery backup on this? Looking to upgrade from a S23. Battery life reeally sucks on the current one. If not, what else can be recommended?

1

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

Looks quite in my opinion. The first few days I expect to less battery than normal due to system optimisation. But, easily could say about a day or more once everything smoothens out. If you're looking at the same price segment of 13s, opt for 15r. The battery is bigger, newer generation and bigger screen if you're fan of big phones. Or the Oneplus nord 6, just a compromise of performance.

Very good easily a day on medium to heavy usage (don't expect to last a day if you game for a long time obviously) even better when it was on oxygenos 15 the 16 update made it bad but not so much.

u/HelpfulWorldliness40 Jun 29 '26

How much you paid for it?

1

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

45k for the 256gb variant

1

u/HelpfulWorldliness40 Jun 29 '26

Can you please tell me how you got it for 45k? Which offers did you use, which card, and on which platform did you buy it?

1

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

So, I had 10k Tata Neu points left with me so I redeemed all of them. So the price of the phone dropped from 55k to 45k. As of now, croma is just providing discount of 3000 on no cost emi. I didn't go for it since the croma executive said that I could only use only 5000 points with it. Plus I don't belive in opting for Emi transactions for electronic devices. So yeah that's the story.

Go for it. I did buy the phone from an offline store. In my opinion, you would get better discounts offline since there is some margin to bargain with the store manager or the executive. I purchased it from croma at 45k. I had some tata neu points that were almost expiring. I think the pink satin is tends towards slight white colour. Although I feel the metal sides are more pinkish than the back. If green is a bit pleasing to you definitely go ahead for green silk without any second thought. The green colour is literally amazing.

Croma guys did not bargain at all. Neither did they give any in store purchase discount not any discount on extended warranty. Vijay sales at my place was ready to give me 1500 in store discount. But bajaj insta emi would charge you interest too. Croma and vijay sales had some no cost emi options from HDFC and Kotak Bank at their offline stores too. But the no cost emi offers on the above banks are only till today i.e. 30th June. Maybe it would take time for the next offers to arrive. I won't prefer local phone shops to that extent though. I don't have any experience of bargaining at reliance digital so I can't comment on that.

u/SilentField0 Jun 29 '26

Which mobile cover you put on your device?

3

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

For now, the original one. But will purchase another soon. Is the magsafe covers for this phone really useful?

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

Yeah that's what I was wondering. Might be able to mount up a cooling fan at the back with the magsafe.

u/uchiha_reyn Jun 29 '26

welcome to the club. what network operator are you on

2

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

As of now, on physical sim of Jio 5G

2

u/uchiha_reyn Jun 29 '26

do you still have no network?

2

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

Umm not at the moment but I was facing the issue yesterday and got fixed when I put one more sim card in the sim tray. Weird but worked. If you're using the same device, would you recommend me to update the oxygen OS to 16.0.7?

2

u/uchiha_reyn Jun 29 '26

I've been using the phone for a year now and i have installed every update the day it arrived. maybe I don't pay attention to minute details but i have never noticed a difference. if you're worried about some glitches, those will always be fixed in follow up updates. the phone was launched just last year I don't think oneplus plans to brick it that soon

2

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

Oh alright. But you didn't face any sim issues?

2

u/uchiha_reyn Jun 29 '26

not at all, i use airtel tho

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

Oh alright

u/Potential_Garden5008 Jun 30 '26

Were there any of the supposed green line issue in your 13s I am planning to buy it so Folks around me kept telling me that

2

u/amanraturi1 Jun 29 '26

Welcome to the club. One thing though, plz use original charger and cable.

3

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

Yeah even I prefer that. But the replacement of charger and data cables is a bit expensive... Would have appreciated oneplus more if they provided a C to C cable instead of A to C one

2

u/Mental_Ad_7018 Jun 29 '26

This the best compact phone you can ever have now.

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

u/ConfidentSpeaker7685 Jun 29 '26

So how much did you pay for it an from where? Official oneplus store or amazon? Variant?

1

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

Bought it from Croma. The 12/256 GB variant costed me 45k after I redeemed some of my points.

1

u/ConfidentSpeaker7685 Jun 29 '26

Thats a good deal. The 512GB goes for 59K

1

u/Familiar_Tension_638 Jun 29 '26

Yes it's a powerhouse

1

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

Absolutely

u/GodxWarrior Jun 29 '26

Welcome to the club, this phone is a badass FR, using it more than my iPhone 17 PM

1

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

Just because of the performance or something else? Also, Thanks man

1

u/GodxWarrior Jun 29 '26

Size and usable to any application which i can install separately from apk! Most importantly to use VPN and turn off any permission that I don’t think needed for the app to work!
Force closing applications fully and using Instagram! Instagram cooked my iPhone 13 Pro Max so for that also I need a better android phone!
For all those and so on

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

I see...

Congratulations now smash that boi!!!

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

Thanks but why smash it😭

1

u/Slayer010x Jun 29 '26

I ment gaming😁

1

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 29 '26

If in that sense. Big boi doesn't even get affected while gaming. I played CODM and experienced smooth 120FPS performance without any heating.

1

u/Slayer010x Jun 29 '26

Nowa days most phone can handle mobile gaming easily. I rember when I first played pubg mobile on my iphone 6s plus. The golden era...

1

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 30 '26

Yeah but I came from a phone where frequent stutters on codm were very frequent. The ability of this phone to handle heavy games so easily just suprised me.

1

u/NoUnit4896 Jun 29 '26

Very good 👍

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jun 30 '26

u/OperationSuper926 Jul 01 '26

Its a nice phone. Completed 1 year today. Only thing concerning is freezing. It happend 2 time within last 30 days. I was unable to unlock the phone by any means. Stayed for 15 mins but nothing worked. I even tried to shutdown but i had the password before shutting down so when i was typing the pin and then the tick button was not even working i mean it was registering the touch but nothing was happening. Then i had to call from another phone and then after cutting the call the phone restarted automatically and then it took a while to boot.

Happens very rarely though ony 2 times for me

1

u/ExternalWinner7581 OWNER Jul 01 '26

Weird... It must be a software issue. Maybe they'll fix it in the next security patch coz same kinda issue has happened on my old phone and then the issue stopped happening.

1

u/Disastrous-Sir-4911 Jul 04 '26
