I have an S24 Ultra and i'm upgrading to the OnePlus 13. The battery life is unreliable on the S24 Ultra and im tired of it being the same thing again & again.
hey i just downgraded to oneplus 13.. the battery life is much worse than my s24 ultra i ran both at battery saving option and after optimizing my settings on oneplus its like 35% worse which is surprising since its a 20% smaller battery, less efficient chip, and a pen that drains ur battery too... Yees it is also noticably faster in some cases, the wifi and bluetooth are crazy good and fast while s24 ultra's range and speeds are just not in the same ballpark even connecting to networks is noticably slower. CAMERA.. night mode is so much better on s24 ultra, and the intelligent optimization is somethign ive grown to love and i miss it on oneplus 13. all in all, i miss my s24 ultra but i wouldnt pay extra for s25 ultra, so best choice would be to wait another year and wait till s26 ultra comes out with new battery
Strictly speaking, the term flagship killer is a remnant of Oneplus's past. The 13 is a flagship. Literally, it checks every box. Hypothetically, if there is a flagship killer in their lineup it's the 13R.
@IvanKam11 I appreciate that. On another note, I respectfully disagree with you about the screen of the 13. In fact, it's a flat screen and not a traditional curved. The small tapered curve at the sides is a bezel. It's not part of the touch screen. It's only function is to cosmetically connect the screen to the flat sides. That's why there's no screen bleed over, mis-touches, mis-swipes or issues with gestures. Personally, I'm gratified that oneplus delivered a modern squared flat screen design that doesn't look like an iPhone clone. Frankly, that's been one of my biggest pet peeves with Google and Samsung. I also wanted to express my opinion about oxygen OS 15 versus Samsung one ui. Personally, I prefer oxygen os. It's highly customizable, well laid out and it runs smooth as silk. In addition, it's not loaded down with bloatware. Conversely, Samsung loads their OS with bloatware and the layout is confusing at best. Furthermore, oxygen OS 15 is much lighter and less ram intensive. Recently, the developers of oxygen OS 15 gave the platform a major overhaul. They downsized it buy a little over 30% and paired away many redundancies and unnecessary features. Anyway, as with everything in life, it's a matter of opinion.

I have both. It's the OnePlus 13 for me all day long that s24 is very overrated for the massive price. Those slagging the OnePlus 13 camera are wrong. I now have no more blurry night selfies.
I concur, as good as the S24 ultra is, it actually comes up short , especially when it comes to durability and the actually impactful aspects of everyday use.
I have an S24 ultra. And I think I've posted here before I was on the fence about any upgrading, and I'm definitely not upgrading to the 25. I'm going to be keeping this phone as my backup bar phone.Because I plan on getting the oneplus open 2. This whole AI thing is annoying, and they're gonna start charging for it anyway. One influencer said Samsung plans to charge $20 a month. I mean that's ridiculous if true.
for me, longer lasting battery along with extrem fast charging makes such a big win in every day life, way more then the display. The charging situation is the reason why i am tired of my current S22 5G. also you forgot the IR Blaster that some people love. Currently if you uy a 13, you get a free Smartwatch as well wo from value, there is no doubt.
It’s funny how a year-old device is outperforming this year’s models. Honestly, the best move would be to grab the S24 Ultra since it’s already available at significant discounts.
@@Anazz16 Those major discounts and Oneplus 13 prices would be the same. Everything is a upgrade on Oneplus13. Also the SD8 Elite and 16 gigs ram with 6000 mah battery. Much better and power efficient display with local refresh rates. Aqua touch 2.0…IP69. Ofcourse super fast charging and better battery life. Better cooling system than the Samsung, It never heated while playing big games.. Plus it feels ergonomic and very light in hand.
Great video. Grabbed the one plus 13 but im coming from an S21U and i really liked this phone. Never kept a phone for this long. Might be weird but i felt the one+ 13 is like a 2.0 version of the s21U in many ways. Also grabbed the one+ to have something different. Ive had the s6,S7edge,s8, s10, and the s21U. Last one+ phone ive tried was the one+1 over 10 years ago.
Thanks for the detailed comparison on the camera. I had compared between X200 Pro and S24 Ultra... My take between these three phones is mainly based on camera. The other major parameter for me which I think is essential for a great camera phone is battery capacity. If you have great camera but battery drains out fast, it is not worth that much. Lastly a great Camera without a great display is of no use as you cant decide on photos and enjoy them. All packed into the price point, OnePlus 13 hits all the corners for me. I love the output of the primary camera photos in OnePlus 13, though I agree telephoto of X200 Pro and S24 Ultra is better, but to me a few extra strokes in the photo at 3 digit zoom level, I would rather prefer my Canon DSLR. For a day 2 day camera from a mobile, 20-30X zoom and had an AI enhancement is enough to be usable which OnePlus does the job to my satisfaction over the price point of INR 25K lower than X200 Pro and also lower than S24 Ultra. I have purchased OnePlus 13.
I surely hope the OnePlus 13 does not have the infamous green lines of death issues that its past models had. My last OnePlus was the 8T; it was a great phone, but the lines of death did me wrong, with no free replacement from OnePlus. I've been seeing reports that some OnePlus 11 and 12 had the line of death issues, and it makes me doubt the longevity of OnePlus as a whole because of it. Hopefully, people who bought it do not face this issue and will have the device for the long term.
One thing I find amusing is that a key feature for me is just totally skipped by every reviewer I see. Dual sim cards. so if you need a work number and a private number you can use just one phone. in my case I have an international sim card and a US sim card. When I go abroad I just swap sims on the phone, no need to physically change them and risk losing the card. A small feature but an important one for me which lead me to choose the 13 over any other phone.
So glad you mentioned the weight of the s24. I returned it because it was so bulky and heavy! I have small hands and found it very uncomfortable. I might get the one plus
What's holding me to make the switch to OP13 is having the rest of samsung products like watch, buds, tv, tab, etc, Would it make a big difference in the day to day to interact all of those with a non Samsung phone?? I can overlook most disadvantages, but battery life and charging speed is a big one for me.
really great video, very honest review of 2 top phones. I honestly think if you bought either of these you can't really go too wrong. The differences are things that the vast majority won't really notice. Personally, i'm leaning towards the OP 13 though. It will be interesting to see if the Oppo find x8 ultra has a global version then to compare it to the OP 13.
I got a chance to look at the oneplus open. My last oneplus phone was the 6T. I love samsung for the software.And I have really enjoyed their phones in general. But what I proved to myself when I tried the oneplus was that there was enough there that was similar in the u I that I could work with it. I love the s, pen, but I'll buy the oppo pen if it's supported. They'll have the upgraded chip even if as rumors say they've reduced the power of it a little bit to prevent overheating.That's okay.It'll still be a lot faster. Whether or not you agree, there'll be more ram, and the fast charging is just unbelievable with the one plus. I was really rooting for samsung. And someday, I may turn back to them if they put out a phone that really captivates me or the oneplus open two turns out to be a flop. For me, it's just time to try something new. I realize this is about the oneplus thirteen, but it's enough of a comparison as to what's to come with oneplus.
@@stuffandthangs3953 nits aren’t linear, 4500 nits isn’t twice as “bright” as 2300 nits. After about 2300 nits, you get diminishing returns. The brightness that will hurt a persons eyes is measured in lumens, not nits and a phone isn’t bright enough to blind someone. 4500 nits does nothing for a phone or HDR brightness.
That's an interesting assessment but, I don't agree with your characterization of the screen. The tiny curve on the sides is a bezel. They have nothing to do with the digitizer. The screen itself is flat. I also don't care about a gimmicky anti-glare coating. If I needed that there are plenty of screen protectors that offer it. The anti-glare coating, s pen and titanium frame doesn't warrant spending $400-$700 more. At that point, you're just paying for a fancy name.
My assessment is clearly from my POV; I can only share what my UX has been using them. I can certainly understand your take as well - keep in mind by the way that a brand new S24U should run you about the same price as the OP13 (not more) unless you insist on paying the original price. It's been out for a year.
@IvanKam11 I can't imagine why anyone including myself would be interested in an out-of-date phone? Seriously, the s25 series will be out by the end of the month. Samsung makes high quality products but, they're overpriced and unimaginative. Even their designs look like iPhone rip-offs. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
The OnePlus 13 display ranks number 39 on DxOMark. Watching this video with the two screens side by side it was clear the OnePlus 13' display colors aren't accurate. Looking at many display reviews of the OnePlus 13 it's average brightness is around ~1200 nits with a 75% window while the Pixel 9 Pro averages ~2300 nits. Clearly their display isn't the best in the market but their Aqua touch is cool.
@Saba-jr8yb first off, I don't care about that review source. It's not credible to say the least. Secondly, the display is amazing and I find your assessment to be foolish. Thanks for the reply.
I will stick to my s24 ultra. Though the oneplus feels fast and smooth. Still it lacks lot of useful features like tap & pay, spen, dex, camera consistency and lot more which i use daily being a business person.
I'm not talking smack when I bring this up but I really don't even care about all the upgrades that you get when they give you service pack things. The phones don't normally run the same when they do all these things if it was me and I had an option I would never download anything new on the phone outside of what it came stock. But most of the time you can't do nothing about these. The one option I would like and I think the OnePlus does this I'm not so sure about the 13 but I think the open you can actually turn the 5G off and use 4G. And that's pretty nice if you're out places where you don't have good 5G you can turn the 4G on and get rid of the 5G that way it doesn't mess up the phone going back and forth between service a 4G and 5G. I'm not sure how many cell phone manufacturers allow that.
You can use a universal stylus or that pen with rubber tip, but you don't need stylus on phone , only use for Stylus on S24 Ultra is signing documents rest of Usage depends on you choosing to use s pen.
I will answer this question just because someone here answered it wrong... no iPhone or oneplus 13 does not have s pen support only the oneplus open has s pen support and Samsung the rubber tip pen he's talking about is a fake pen that basically works like your finger and can be used on any phone but it sucks and is not a s pen at all
Got a S24 Ultra and gotta say I'm not really impressed. Yes, the hardware is good and I haven't experienced a single stutter nor lag. However this phone has a major flaw, the camera consistensy. Sometimes it can take really good pictures almost like they were taken by a professional camera, in other times it gets all pixelated with a lot of noise. The 3x camera at night is absolutely terrible. My previous 200$ phone did better at that task.. And also the S pen is really not that useful unless you want to be flashy, most of the time i forget that its there... Even as a graphic designer I don't find it useful.
The s24 will have what the 25 does in a few weeks so maybe 3 generations will better then the oneplus, 25-24 and 23. Remember these other phones will have to wait to get the new features a year or few later. Not utilizing what the phone can do and saving a couple dollars isn't better. It's actually just a conversation and that's all. Samsung users benefit from great trade in, we're spoiled with the best savings and phone capabilities. The world is satisfied with the popular choice but the real ones who want the best know that nothing comes close to the ultra. Any other phone is either a social, content creation or unproven budget phone. And please don't bring up fast charging when samsung innovated it. Oneplus is already removing things and raising prices. Their makeup is borrowed and they will not make it to far as currently constructed. Lot of oneplus hype, had to be real about it.
Hi for me is important Batterie, Display (when good always Edge Display), good speakers and good fotos. Normal, Night, Macro and Zoom. Magic 6 Pro i think too, or my favourit actuall: the OnePlus 13. What did you think? Can i easy by the OnePlus 13 or should i go with the 24 Ultra or maybe the Honor Magic 6 Pro?
You dont have a S24. The S24 has you ) It's not even remotely a bad thing. Just kudos to them for creating a brand that entertains rationalizing functional inferiority. If you like it better, you like it better )
Sorry buy OP13 is not for me. Currently I'm using the S24 plus. The OP13 has excellent hardware. But they are far behind the software. For start, the keyboard, the numbers are not on the top row sometimes a d sometimes it's not. Same with the @ sign. The video recording quality is not flagship. On AI, the AI is cloud based, while Snapdragon has on device AI. This is a serious concern. In esthetic sense, the phone doesn't have the premium feel, feels very 2020.
I jad the s24 ultra then pixel 9 pro xl. Now the one plus 13 . Jist purchsed the honor magic7 pro still sticking with the one plus 13. My mum gets the s24 ultra my son gets my pixel . And im selling the megic 7 pro. Problem is the inovation samsung keeping the 5000mah on the s25 is a no go also charging speed stl 45 W is a disgrace . And they just pull an aple and thst jist not acceptable if you spend 1300 on a phone. Waiting fot the onplus open 2
I have all three that you mentioned...I find the camera way oversaturated on the OP vs the other two. Battery life is killer though, and smooth. Pixel is great as well with excellent cameras and solid battery life and AI. Samsung is alright, too bulky though IMO
Come on man, don't talk nonsense because I can't listen to you, what surprises Samsung with how it's a hackneyed smartphone that's been doing the same thing for 6 years, a 5000 mAh battery for 6 years, the same with a slow 25, 45 watt charger, where the competition gives us fast charging and a carbon-silicon battery with 6000 mAh if not more and that's the most important thing for me, i.e. a good processor, fast charging and a capacious battery, which Samsung doesn't give us because they're afraid that their battery will explode, Samsung is simply a hackneyed smartphone that has stopped in time and I can't listen to overpaid RUclipsrs like you.
The mistake that OnePlus and many testers make every year is to believe and want to make believe that the top-of-the-range OnePlus is competing with the iPhone Pro, Vivo Pro/Ultra, S Ultra of this world, no, they are competing with smartphone like Xiaomi 15, Galaxy S+, and the price difference between them is not as big as that 🤷🏽♂️ The OnePlus 13 is a "pretty decent deal" in Asia and despite the fact (which I deplore) that OnePlus is increasing the price of this OnePlus 13 by $100/100€-150€ in the USA and Europe, it is clearly a better deal than the Pixel 9 Pro XL 🤧, however, it will not necessarily be a better deal than the S25 Plus unless Samsung also "massively" increases the price of its S25 Plus, and even if the price of the S25 Plus increases, Samsung will have the advantage of being available at 99% of carriers (deals). The photo 📸 quality of the OnePlus 13 like almost all current smartphones over $500 is quite good and will fit 80-90% of people (but contrary to the propaganda it's neither at the level nor better than that of the Pixels, Vivo, iPhone, Oppo, Galaxy S), on the other hand, the video 📹 quality of the OnePlus 13 is horrible, horrendous, and I really don't know why no one has the courage to say it 🤔 Like the OnePlus 12 last year, this OnePlus 13 will make a lot of noise on the internet, but will sell even worse than the OnePlus 12 because of its price increase 🤷🏽♂️ Honestly, I only recommend OnePlus smartphones 3-6 months after their release, they lose an average of $200 or even $300 on their Msrp, at which point, they reach their true prices, the true value that Oppo gives them, that of high-mid-range 🤧 Ps: and contrary to what many media and youtubers want people to believe, the camera 📸 equipment of the OnePlus 13 (especially the ultra-wide angle and the 3X zoom) is a real regression compared to that of the OnePlus 12. 🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️
Uh oh! Coming in with the big guns as always I see. Great and detailed insights...and also very raw as always, 😅 Well, I fully agree with your first 5 paragraphs. In the last one, I disagree because in my testings (at least the initial ones), the UW on the op13 performed better and was consistent at it. I will however say that, despite saying in the video that Camera is a toss, I have since then decided to lean on the side of the S24U for camera as well. I have found video is consistently better on it, and although low light performance seems to be on par with each other, overall camera specs and performance, S24U now takes it for me. On your point on when to recommend the OP13, I fully agree with it. In fact, I think that actually highlights your overall take: OP13 is a great topic of convo right now (just like it's been the case with predecessors), but despite pushing all those specs boundaries, it'll die off rather quickly - on the website, OnePlus has already had the 512gb discounted for weeks already. On top of that, the launch of the S25U will just bury any news related to the op13....which is why I need to drop my op13 vs 16promax asap, lol
S24 Ultra 256Gb costs 989€ 🆚 1029€ for OnePlus 13 256Gb. OnePlus with the new chip... Some people will buy this OnePlus. For me, buying a flaghsip is more than that. Since i can afford, i will focus on what matters the most to me: Design, Software, Long term support. Samsung is my preference so i'll wait for S25 Ultra with S24 Plus design. Curved screens are a NoGo for me and Samsung has this antireflective screen too. But, this OnePlus 13 is undeniably great, unless you are a fanboy. When you look at 16 Pro Max or the future S25 Ultra prices, it really a question about what you value the most. OnePlus 13 16➕512Gb costs 1079€ where i live: it's sounds like a good deal
And you'd be making a huge mistake for 2025 IMHO. OnePlus is offering 4 years of major updates AND 6 years of security updates. You really want to sit this one out?
why are we comparing New generation chip to last Gen? why dont you compare the S24 to the Oneplus 11? or better yet a oneplus 12...because the both use the same hardware...
Its all because Oneplus 13 is the latest from Oneplus, and currently S24Ultra is still there latest..Can we compare it to S25Ultra even it not on hand?.Make sense right..
I started using oneplus nord ce4, and the amount of features it provides over a flagship iphone is insane. Even the Oneplus lowend phones are really good.
@jevonsims900 I personally use an iPhone 16 pro, just bought it recently and that is the only high end phone I've ever owned. Better compare with what I have and not a random phone I find online.
I have both of these phones and its not even debatable oneplus i get 13 hours sot and it charges in 26 minutes and my s24 uktra i get 6.5 hours and charges in hour 29 minutes its a no brainer

I love Samsung, but I am getting tired of them removing features. I was going to try oneplus unless Samsung offers some amazing trade in with the s25
If you're like me and only use swipe or the keyboard 99 percent of the time, if you get one, you won't be able to put the OnePlus 13 down.
Samsung giving $900 trade in for the ultra 24. Sucks they'd took out the Bluetooth out of the S-Pen on the ultra 25
Those hands are indeed big, I own the op13. It looks so small in your hands
How many watts is the included block/charger?
80
you make the oneplus 13 look tiny.
Are you gonna do a comparison with the OnePlus 13 and the S25 Ultra?
Yes indeed!!
OnePlus gang here but love Samsung too might swap my iPhone 16 pro max for it
🔥🔥🔥
Samsung is on thin ice with me and I'm considering switching to the 1+ 13.
😅
It's no question better. Make the switch!!
for me, longer lasting battery along with extrem fast charging makes such a big win in every day life, way more then the display. The charging situation is the reason why i am tired of my current S22 5G. also you forgot the IR Blaster that some people love. Currently if you uy a 13, you get a free Smartwatch as well wo from value, there is no doubt.
It’s funny how a year-old device is outperforming this year’s models. Honestly, the best move would be to grab the S24 Ultra since it’s already available at significant discounts.
Major facts!
@@Anazz16 Those major discounts and Oneplus 13 prices would be the same. Everything is a upgrade on Oneplus13. Also the SD8 Elite and 16 gigs ram with 6000 mah battery. Much better and power efficient display with local refresh rates. Aqua touch 2.0…IP69. Ofcourse super fast charging and better battery life. Better cooling system than the Samsung, It never heated while playing big games.. Plus it feels ergonomic and very light in hand.
I charge my phone very slow overnight. Do we not makes the battery last much longer.
Why the colours looking yellowish on Samsung? Display colour temperature difference or clarity differences?
Great video. Grabbed the one plus 13 but im coming from an S21U and i really liked this phone. Never kept a phone for this long. Might be weird but i felt the one+ 13 is like a 2.0 version of the s21U in many ways. Also grabbed the one+ to have something different. Ive had the s6,S7edge,s8, s10, and the s21U. Last one+ phone ive tried was the one+1 over 10 years ago.
You skipped the infamous 7 Pro??
@@davidbrown6137 He might have but I didn't. The OnePlus 7 Pro was the boss.
Nice upgrade leap
@@davidbrown6137 yeah. This is my first one+ in nearly 11 years. They've come a long way. Definitely digging this phone.
Thanks for the detailed comparison on the camera. I had compared between X200 Pro and S24 Ultra... My take between these three phones is mainly based on camera. The other major parameter for me which I think is essential for a great camera phone is battery capacity. If you have great camera but battery drains out fast, it is not worth that much. Lastly a great Camera without a great display is of no use as you cant decide on photos and enjoy them. All packed into the price point, OnePlus 13 hits all the corners for me. I love the output of the primary camera photos in OnePlus 13, though I agree telephoto of X200 Pro and S24 Ultra is better, but to me a few extra strokes in the photo at 3 digit zoom level, I would rather prefer my Canon DSLR. For a day 2 day camera from a mobile, 20-30X zoom and had an AI enhancement is enough to be usable which OnePlus does the job to my satisfaction over the price point of INR 25K lower than X200 Pro and also lower than S24 Ultra. I have purchased OnePlus 13.
Very fair take, and good to hear you found the OnePlus 13 to be the best fit for your needs!
How do the speakers compare between them both?
I surely hope the OnePlus 13 does not have the infamous green lines of death issues that its past models had. My last OnePlus was the 8T; it was a great phone, but the lines of death did me wrong, with no free replacement from OnePlus. I've been seeing reports that some OnePlus 11 and 12 had the line of death issues, and it makes me doubt the longevity of OnePlus as a whole because of it. Hopefully, people who bought it do not face this issue and will have the device for the long term.
Lifetime warranty on green line. Enjoy
One thing I find amusing is that a key feature for me is just totally skipped by every reviewer I see. Dual sim cards. so if you need a work number and a private number you can use just one phone. in my case I have an international sim card and a US sim card. When I go abroad I just swap sims on the phone, no need to physically change them and risk losing the card. A small feature but an important one for me which lead me to choose the 13 over any other phone.
I hate the anti glare display on the S24U! It ruins the clarity of the AMOLED screen underneath.
I still like the build on my s24U tho, also no bt spen on s24u is crazy, ill wait till one ui 7 to decide if i wanna exchange to op..
So glad you mentioned the weight of the s24. I returned it because it was so bulky and heavy! I have small hands and found it very uncomfortable. I might get the one plus
What's holding me to make the switch to OP13 is having the rest of samsung products like watch, buds, tv, tab, etc, Would it make a big difference in the day to day to interact all of those with a non Samsung phone??
I can overlook most disadvantages, but battery life and charging speed is a big one for me.
What gaming controller where you using? Looks cool!
Picked it up on Amazon. It's just one of those generic brands
Does it work with Verizon?
One Plus is nice and powerful for sure but to beat Samsung, Google it has to at least offer same years of updates and security.. JMO!
I dont know about the s24u but i do have an s23u & op13. The op13 is a better phone, including camera. Not by a small margin either.
Is the oneplus 13 camera that much better than s23u, especially for videography?
Very honest and sincere review....better than other ones I've seen on RUclips!
Why would you compare brand new oneplus to old s24? Compare it to s25
Which phone to buy One plus 13 or S25 ultra
really great video, very honest review of 2 top phones. I honestly think if you bought either of these you can't really go too wrong. The differences are things that the vast majority won't really notice. Personally, i'm leaning towards the OP 13 though. It will be interesting to see if the Oppo find x8 ultra has a global version then to compare it to the OP 13.
What is the gaming mount / controller you show the OnePlus in?
It's a cheap one from Amazon. Called Shanan....or something
Why doesn't anyone mention the fact that you can use op when your fingers are wet or oily????
For real
wanted to try S-Pen. but I am more inclined towards Oneplus 13.
can u suggest a generic stylus pen that could work great with Oneplus 13 ?
Any capacitive pencil should work. It won't be as accurate and optimized, but it'll work
Brother stop giving disclaimers for giving your opinion, you’re entitled to it
The next phone needs a 5x optical zoom and a better sensor. The selfie camera needs auto focus and better video capability.
I got a chance to look at the oneplus open. My last oneplus phone was the 6T. I love samsung for the software.And I have really enjoyed their phones in general. But what I proved to myself when I tried the oneplus was that there was enough there that was similar in the u I that I could work with it. I love the s, pen, but I'll buy the oppo pen if it's supported. They'll have the upgraded chip even if as rumors say they've reduced the power of it a little bit to prevent overheating.That's okay.It'll still be a lot faster. Whether or not you agree, there'll be more ram, and the fast charging is just unbelievable with the one plus. I was really rooting for samsung. And someday, I may turn back to them if they put out a phone that really captivates me or the oneplus open two turns out to be a flop. For me, it's just time to try something new. I realize this is about the oneplus thirteen, but it's enough of a comparison as to what's to come with oneplus.
OnePlus 13 is amazing but it's gonna face off against S25 ultra so that's gonna be a battle to watch 😂
🔥🔥🔥
The average person isn't going to intentionally turn the brightness up to 4500 nits unless you want to go blind. Too much of a nitpick on that.
That’s not how it works lol most people can’t tell the difference with 4500 nits and like 2300 nits.
@BruceLeeRoy26 not how what works? You don't make any sense.
Not nitpicking, I was illustrating the difference between both
@@stuffandthangs3953 nits aren’t linear, 4500 nits isn’t twice as “bright” as 2300 nits. After about 2300 nits, you get diminishing returns. The brightness that will hurt a persons eyes is measured in lumens, not nits and a phone isn’t bright enough to blind someone. 4500 nits does nothing for a phone or HDR brightness.
That's an interesting assessment but, I don't agree with your characterization of the screen. The tiny curve on the sides is a bezel. They have nothing to do with the digitizer. The screen itself is flat. I also don't care about a gimmicky anti-glare coating. If I needed that there are plenty of screen protectors that offer it. The anti-glare coating, s pen and titanium frame doesn't warrant spending $400-$700 more. At that point, you're just paying for a fancy name.
My assessment is clearly from my POV; I can only share what my UX has been using them. I can certainly understand your take as well - keep in mind by the way that a brand new S24U should run you about the same price as the OP13 (not more) unless you insist on paying the original price. It's been out for a year.
@IvanKam11 I can't imagine why anyone including myself would be interested in an out-of-date phone? Seriously, the s25 series will be out by the end of the month. Samsung makes high quality products but, they're overpriced and unimaginative. Even their designs look like iPhone rip-offs. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
The OnePlus 13 display ranks number 39 on DxOMark. Watching this video with the two screens side by side it was clear the OnePlus 13' display colors aren't accurate. Looking at many display reviews of the OnePlus 13 it's average brightness is around ~1200 nits with a 75% window while the Pixel 9 Pro averages ~2300 nits. Clearly their display isn't the best in the market but their Aqua touch is cool.
@Saba-jr8yb first off, I don't care about that review source. It's not credible to say the least. Secondly, the display is amazing and I find your assessment to be foolish. Thanks for the reply.
@@AmyJohonsen Every other review site that did measurements of the display show the same results.
Currently I'm using OP 6T and I'm happy to upgrade in OP 13
Meanwhile samsung galaxy S25 ultra: you wait
OnePlus is cheaper and better
I will stick to my s24 ultra.
Though the oneplus feels fast and smooth.
Still it lacks lot of useful features like tap & pay, spen, dex, camera consistency and lot more which i use daily being a business person.
Ivan is sacred while reviewing these phones 🤣
hahahahahah!
you have no idea fam!
I don't know how many souls I offend when I review them, so I have to insist that its my personal opinion!
@😂 it’s a great review brother
I'm not talking smack when I bring this up but I really don't even care about all the upgrades that you get when they give you service pack things. The phones don't normally run the same when they do all these things if it was me and I had an option I would never download anything new on the phone outside of what it came stock. But most of the time you can't do nothing about these. The one option I would like and I think the OnePlus does this I'm not so sure about the 13 but I think the open you can actually turn the 5G off and use 4G. And that's pretty nice if you're out places where you don't have good 5G you can turn the 4G on and get rid of the 5G that way it doesn't mess up the phone going back and forth between service a 4G and 5G. I'm not sure how many cell phone manufacturers allow that.
I prefer the look of the oneplus display looks more glossy and clear.
Can a stylus be used on oneplus, apple etc?
You can use a universal stylus or that pen with rubber tip, but you don't need stylus on phone , only use for Stylus on S24 Ultra is signing documents rest of Usage depends on you choosing to use s pen.
I will answer this question just because someone here answered it wrong... no iPhone or oneplus 13 does not have s pen support only the oneplus open has s pen support and Samsung the rubber tip pen he's talking about is a fake pen that basically works like your finger and can be used on any phone but it sucks and is not a s pen at all
dude made such larger phones looks small in his hands
Got a S24 Ultra and gotta say I'm not really impressed. Yes, the hardware is good and I haven't experienced a single stutter nor lag. However this phone has a major flaw, the camera consistensy. Sometimes it can take really good pictures almost like they were taken by a professional camera, in other times it gets all pixelated with a lot of noise. The 3x camera at night is absolutely terrible. My previous 200$ phone did better at that task.. And also the S pen is really not that useful unless you want to be flashy, most of the time i forget that its there... Even as a graphic designer I don't find it useful.
Here in EU charger does not include with the Oneplus 13.
The s24 will have what the 25 does in a few weeks so maybe 3 generations will better then the oneplus, 25-24 and 23. Remember these other phones will have to wait to get the new features a year or few later. Not utilizing what the phone can do and saving a couple dollars isn't better. It's actually just a conversation and that's all. Samsung users benefit from great trade in, we're spoiled with the best savings and phone capabilities. The world is satisfied with the popular choice but the real ones who want the best know that nothing comes close to the ultra. Any other phone is either a social, content creation or unproven budget phone. And please don't bring up fast charging when samsung innovated it. Oneplus is already removing things and raising prices. Their makeup is borrowed and they will not make it to far as currently constructed. Lot of oneplus hype, had to be real about it.
Great insights!
Hi for me is important Batterie, Display (when good always Edge Display), good speakers and good fotos. Normal, Night, Macro and Zoom. Magic 6 Pro i think too, or my favourit actuall: the OnePlus 13. What did you think? Can i easy by the OnePlus 13 or should i go with the 24 Ultra or maybe the Honor Magic 6 Pro?
Either one is fine, but the OP13 will get you longer battery life
Lol people who switched from any other brand to OnePlus didn't want to settle. That's right, Never settle!
Wait fir mi 15 pro....that display is another level 😊
Can I say that I have a new pixel 9 and it's camera module is great.
I do also have a S24 ultra.
Nice!!
Samsung should have kept the boxy look for the s25
Agreed
somehow one plus 13 looks compact in your hand
You dont have a S24. The S24 has you )
It's not even remotely a bad thing. Just kudos to them for creating a brand that entertains rationalizing functional inferiority.
If you like it better, you like it better )
Bigger battery means nothing, it's not as optimised as s24 ultra or an iphone 16 pro max.
Sorry buy OP13 is not for me. Currently I'm using the S24 plus. The OP13 has excellent hardware. But they are far behind the software. For start, the keyboard, the numbers are not on the top row sometimes a d sometimes it's not. Same with the @ sign. The video recording quality is not flagship. On AI, the AI is cloud based, while Snapdragon has on device AI. This is a serious concern. In esthetic sense, the phone doesn't have the premium feel, feels very 2020.
I am thinking of switching to one+ because of better battery life and pwm.
Bro still didn't get a s25 review unit
The one plus 13 isn't even close
Does OnePlus have a lot of themes like Samsung
It has a good chunk, but Samsung has more, especially when you go the Goodlock way
@@IvanKam11 ok thanks for the reply
You know s25 is out?
I jad the s24 ultra then pixel 9 pro xl. Now the one plus 13 . Jist purchsed the honor magic7 pro still sticking with the one plus 13. My mum gets the s24 ultra my son gets my pixel . And im selling the megic 7 pro. Problem is the inovation samsung keeping the 5000mah on the s25 is a no go also charging speed stl 45 W is a disgrace . And they just pull an aple and thst jist not acceptable if you spend 1300 on a phone. Waiting fot the onplus open 2
I have all three that you mentioned...I find the camera way oversaturated on the OP vs the other two. Battery life is killer though, and smooth. Pixel is great as well with excellent cameras and solid battery life and AI. Samsung is alright, too bulky though IMO
What game is that? The one where police cars are chasing the car?
Used to be called The Chase, I think it's now called The Chase Hit and Run
@IvanKam11 Thank you
I will never buy oneplus again after they disabled the infra red camera feature right after I bought the 8 plus pro.
Come on man, don't talk nonsense because I can't listen to you, what surprises Samsung with how it's a hackneyed smartphone that's been doing the same thing for 6 years, a 5000 mAh battery for 6 years, the same with a slow 25, 45 watt charger, where the competition gives us fast charging and a carbon-silicon battery with 6000 mAh if not more and that's the most important thing for me, i.e. a good processor, fast charging and a capacious battery, which Samsung doesn't give us because they're afraid that their battery will explode, Samsung is simply a hackneyed smartphone that has stopped in time and I can't listen to overpaid RUclipsrs like you.
I got my op 13 for 750 with a trade in and red coins. So a s24 for almost twice that?........
Price wise its Oneplud 13 winner🎉
No charger in Europe
Thinking about trading my s24 ultra for a op13 what you all think
So good bro
Thank you bro!! I appreciate you as always👊🏾
The mistake that OnePlus and many testers make every year is to believe and want to make believe that the top-of-the-range OnePlus is competing with the iPhone Pro, Vivo Pro/Ultra, S Ultra of this world, no, they are competing with smartphone like Xiaomi 15, Galaxy S+, and the price difference between them is not as big as that 🤷🏽♂️
The OnePlus 13 is a "pretty decent deal" in Asia and despite the fact (which I deplore) that OnePlus is increasing the price of this OnePlus 13 by $100/100€-150€ in the USA and Europe, it is clearly a better deal than the Pixel 9 Pro XL 🤧, however, it will not necessarily be a better deal than the S25 Plus unless Samsung also "massively" increases the price of its S25 Plus, and even if the price of the S25 Plus increases, Samsung will have the advantage of being available at 99% of carriers (deals).
The photo 📸 quality of the OnePlus 13 like almost all current smartphones over $500 is quite good and will fit 80-90% of people (but contrary to the propaganda it's neither at the level nor better than that of the Pixels, Vivo, iPhone, Oppo, Galaxy S), on the other hand, the video 📹 quality of the OnePlus 13 is horrible, horrendous, and I really don't know why no one has the courage to say it 🤔
Like the OnePlus 12 last year, this OnePlus 13 will make a lot of noise on the internet, but will sell even worse than the OnePlus 12 because of its price increase 🤷🏽♂️
Honestly, I only recommend OnePlus smartphones 3-6 months after their release, they lose an average of $200 or even $300 on their Msrp, at which point, they reach their true prices, the true value that Oppo gives them, that of high-mid-range 🤧
Ps: and contrary to what many media and youtubers want people to believe, the camera 📸 equipment of the OnePlus 13 (especially the ultra-wide angle and the 3X zoom) is a real regression compared to that of the OnePlus 12.
🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️
Uh oh! Coming in with the big guns as always I see. Great and detailed insights...and also very raw as always, 😅
Well, I fully agree with your first 5 paragraphs. In the last one, I disagree because in my testings (at least the initial ones), the UW on the op13 performed better and was consistent at it. I will however say that, despite saying in the video that Camera is a toss, I have since then decided to lean on the side of the S24U for camera as well. I have found video is consistently better on it, and although low light performance seems to be on par with each other, overall camera specs and performance, S24U now takes it for me.
On your point on when to recommend the OP13, I fully agree with it. In fact, I think that actually highlights your overall take: OP13 is a great topic of convo right now (just like it's been the case with predecessors), but despite pushing all those specs boundaries, it'll die off rather quickly - on the website, OnePlus has already had the 512gb discounted for weeks already. On top of that, the launch of the S25U will just bury any news related to the op13....which is why I need to drop my op13 vs 16promax asap, lol
OnePlus has terrible warranty support
if u ever need help kiss your money goodbye
if it stops charging in 31 days your out hella $
Great video I'm on 16 pro max
🙏🏾
EAST OR WEST ONE PLUS 13 IS BEST ❤
Oneplus 13 fan boy here😂😂😂
OP 13 , absolutely.
Your hands are too big that s24u feels small in your hands
OnePlus is for humens s24 is for Hulk
The flat display is only good with small phones.
It's the other way around for me
Game over S24 Ultra is still way better.
Could have waited for just 2 days to review s25 ultra
... or not!!
What does this have to do with the S25U?
..and tell me again, how can I review a phone that's not gonna be in my hands until February?
That shit still has same battery and camera system from past few years.Wont matter much
Samsung celebration 🍾 5 years fooling low iq customers 🎉 with same battery same everything. Congrats, Samsung ti the money 💰
@@yamahass66apple
go for samsung, just sold my oneplus 13
😂😂
S24 Ultra 256Gb costs 989€ 🆚 1029€ for OnePlus 13 256Gb.
OnePlus with the new chip...
Some people will buy this OnePlus. For me, buying a flaghsip is more than that. Since i can afford, i will focus on what matters the most to me: Design, Software, Long term support. Samsung is my preference so i'll wait for S25 Ultra with S24 Plus design. Curved screens are a NoGo for me and Samsung has this antireflective screen too.
But, this OnePlus 13 is undeniably great, unless you are a fanboy. When you look at 16 Pro Max or the future S25 Ultra prices, it really a question about what you value the most. OnePlus 13 16➕512Gb costs 1079€ where i live: it's sounds like a good deal
Fantastic insights man!
And you'd be making a huge mistake for 2025 IMHO. OnePlus is offering 4 years of major updates AND 6 years of security updates. You really want to sit this one out?
As an S24U owner, and OnePlus owner in the past, I totally disagree. Samsung is terrible
Absolute bullsh*t.
At least, such videos help to differentiate prepaid reviewers.
One plus 13 ❤
why are we comparing New generation chip to last Gen? why dont you compare the S24 to the Oneplus 11? or better yet a oneplus 12...because the both use the same hardware...
Its all because Oneplus 13 is the latest from Oneplus, and currently S24Ultra is still there latest..Can we compare it to S25Ultra even it not on hand?.Make sense right..
@mhex8 then compare it to the OnePlus 12, same generation. Or perhaps don't compare them at all, there are other phones that have SD elite chips.
Very different price points 😅 can't really compare
True, but there are similarities that make the comparison interesting
I started using oneplus nord ce4, and the amount of features it provides over a flagship iphone is insane. Even the Oneplus lowend phones are really good.
Why compare it to iPhone when Android has over 1,000 different brands to choose from?🤷♂️
@jevonsims900 I personally use an iPhone 16 pro, just bought it recently and that is the only high end phone I've ever owned. Better compare with what I have and not a random phone I find online.
I have both of these phones and its not even debatable oneplus i get 13 hours sot and it charges in 26 minutes and my s24 uktra i get 6.5 hours and charges in hour 29 minutes its a no brainer
