- OnePlus has launched the OnePlus 13R with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, improved telephoto camera, and a larger battery.
- The phone features a flat design, more RAM and storage, and an IP65 rating.
- The OnePlus 13R is available for $599.99, which is higher than the $499.99 launch price tag of the OnePlus 12R’s 8GB+128GB variant but the same as the 12GB+256GB variant.
OnePlus is bringing the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R flagship duo to global markets. While the OnePlus 13 is a proper contender for the best Android smartphone you can buy this year, the pricing on the OnePlus 13R positions it closer to mid-range Android competitors, albeit with a slight premium.

Starting with the design, the OnePlus 13R looks quite unlike the OnePlus 12R. It looks more like a spiritual successor to the OnePlus 10R or the latest iPhones, with a flat and boxy shape and barely a chamfer on the front and back edges. While the curvy OnePlus 12R was a joy to hold in the hand, the 13R feels too brick-like.
