OnePlus is starting 2025 with a bang. The company has just launched the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R globally, alongside a new Sapphire Blue color of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3. With this, the company has put its best foot forward to give us a contender for the best Android flagship that users can buy this year.
When you pick up the OnePlus 13 right after the OnePlus 12, you will immediately notice that it feels different in the hand. The OnePlus 13 has a more substantial and flatter mid-frame and a flatter back and front. This gives the 13 a boxier appearance and grants it a feeling of heft, compared to the svelte feeling of the 12 owing to its curves. The camera island also looks cleaner, and if you compare the two phones side by side, the camera module sticks out a tiny bit less on the newer 13.
