Pros
- +Battery life outlasts even the already-impressive 12R predecessor, Improved camera system including a genuine zoom lens, Strong Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 performance at a mid-range price, Stylish aluminum and Gorilla Glass 7i build with IP65 rating, Excellent value for buyers who can't afford a full flagship
Cons
- −Cheaper 128GB model discontinued this generation, pushing the entry price up, Some AI features lack the polish found on the flagship OnePlus 13, No wireless charging support, Camera quality doesn't stand out despite the improvements
Expert Review
Tom's Guide called the OnePlus 13R a flagship phone in every way but price, praising its battery life that outlasts its predecessor along with improved cameras and strong Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 performance, even as the cheaper 128GB variant was discontinued.
VERDICT
The best flagship-killer OnePlus has made in years, delivering genuinely flagship-tier performance and battery life at a meaningfully lower price than the standard OnePlus 13.
