Slight correction, the OnePlus 13 IS still using Li-On batteries, with both technologies, the cathode is made out of lithium, while on the new silicon-carbon batteries, instead of using conventional graphite as the anode, a silicon-carbon composite is used. In other words, more energy density
Have OP12, moved from 14 Pro Max and it's the first phone I'm gonna keep for 2 years because it is so good. Gonna get the OnePlus 14 or Find X9 Pro, depends on the offer here in EU.
Yeah I ordered it yesterday. I had the 12. I sold it off recently. The thing that really got me this time was the battery. I'm looking forward to see how long it stays charged.
@@TRUMP2four Why does anyone need a 170 hp 40 mpg corolla when the 120hp 40 mpg corolla is perfectly fine? Because for me I like seeing evolution in technology. If Toyota is able to improve their cars at a slight marginal increase to the consumer, why not? This is what OnePlus did with the 13.
Sir, why & how on earth you only have 120k subscribers on your channel? This does not make any sense. I hope you will get the proper recognition that you deserve in the near future. 🙏
I have read several things saying that OnePlus 12 uses IP68 seals, and that they just didn't want to pay for the certification, but is as good as IP68. Maybe do some research to see for yourself. 🙂 You may find the info you want!
I got my OP 13 today and it's very cool. The only disappointment I have is it's speaker having such a low output as compared to OP 12 that I own. OP12's speakers are way more loud and clear as compared to the OP13 that sounds quite cheap. Think of it as a low budget phone speaker but I think that's probably due to the water and dust proofing.
I'm Watching with My LG V60 now but I also bought Oneplus 13 Chinese Version while I was in Hong Kong in November and paid more for unlocked fee so that I can use it in Sydney Australia .. Although My Chinese Version battery life doesn't seem that great it does charge up quickly .. I Really Enjoy using it 😊 Love the AI Photo features which i don't have on LG .. So i am still using LG as Wifi Device for Watching RUclips and listen to Music and Oneplus 13 as my new phone and Take Photos 😊 I Do Love Both of these phones 🥰 I am using Chinese Version Oneplus but not sure why I am only getting 4 hours screen on time and i only have 20GB left on my Oneplus 13 I wish they include micro-sd and 3.5mm headphone Dac
Wow! Its so funny how now the narrow/curve OP12 isn't comfortable when just a year ago ..... everyone said it was more comfortable than the flat edged phones out 😂😂😂 make up your minds RUclipsrs. One more thing NOT everyone is hating on curved screens, they are much nicer and quite honestly the Pixel has been ruined with the flat screen design in my opinion. Same with the OP13....talk about boring!!!
I have the Oneplus 11 and think the Oneplus 13 is a great upgrade from it. Unfortunately trade in deals isn't that great for my 11, so I'm going to wait for the price to eventually start dropping or a killer sale. Which is what I did to buy the 11. Don't think the deal will be as great since the 13 cost $200 more, but it should still be decent by then.
Overall - i decided that i be upgrade from 12 only for the flat screen and the ip rating upgrades And the bigger battary, stornger &more efficient cpu and lighter weight (&the oltrra sonic finger print sensor) are a bonus ❤
You didn't mention that 12 has exactly the same AI features with 13. As well as that the telephoto camera in 13 is a downgrade compared with 12, the ultrawide sensor is almost the same in both phones and the main camera have exactly the same sensor. There's no serious reason to upgrade to 13 if you have the 12. So, just reading the specs for promoting the new device instead of reality, isn't the best thing to do.
@@MarksTech If it's as good as the 12, that's a win in my book. I've been wanting the watch as well, so this was the best combo sale ever hahaha! Also, screen protectors are going to be everywhere, bless the flat display!
I have 12R from last one year but recently it has started to restart by its own and that too randomly 2-3 times a day.Does some body knows how to rectify it or should I upgrade it to OnePlus 13
In my opinion, no. Unless you can get the free watch with the trade in which essentially brings down the price to around $200 for some decent upgrades. But last I checked the watch is out of stock.
Basically the same phone. No need to upgrade at all. The camera on the 12 is better in some ways you didn't mention when it comes to its periscope camera, 13 has a more standarn 3 times set up makes the pics way worse than the periscope but the main lens is better on the 13. All in all, everything the 13 does the 12 already doing very well, no need to upgrade.
I have the OnePlus 12, bought it outright last year. Went to look at the upgrade value and I'm not a fan of their trade in program, with reimbursing you after they get your old device....
Here in india, oneplus 12 is approximately 200$ cheaper than the oneplus 13. Oneplus 12 costs 615 dollars whereas the 13 is launched at 815. Is it worth the extra 200 dollar mark?
I feel like that depends on how much you value the changes between the 12 and 13. The mostly flat display, slightly better battery, and the new chip which seems to be most important if you're a phone gamer.
I agree totally with the argument about how slippery the 12 was. Couldn't use it without case. I even have the blue vegan leather 13 and it feels great to hold. I go kamikazee now 😁
I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max and also a OnePlus 12 for work. I love my iPhone, but this is my first absolutely exceptional experience with Android. OP12 is so good.
The software is similar in both phones, I have the 4k enhancer and the reflection removel and so on... 😅 The oxygen 15 is really complete. I have my oneplus 12 for four months and gonna last at least 3 more years. Smooth, power, screen, battery, software... I have it all in my OP12
4:50 that ai stuff has fully come to OP12 too for over a month ago with OxygenOS 15 7:21 that was a great lol, man no offense but these SoC can navigate a starship to a universe far far away... Not only run a super duper random app written by a copycat dev. Personally I will be missing the 13's ultrasonic [at last they made it] scanner and last but not least the IP rating
$403 for 256gb $443 for 512gb $478 for 1tb Their shouldn't be a difference because when the phone comes out u get a free storage upgrade. This is why I'm waiting for s25 ultra. They give you the same amount no matter the storage and another thing is the 1+ current promotion will be there till the beginning of February, so we have time to see what Samsung offers and can compare before making a decision.
Definitely not. Colors look really flat. In the photo of my wife, look at her burgundy coat. The OnePlus 13 has better detail and contrast in the color
Ill keep my 12. Especially for the price i got it for. Reviews had the battery life not that much better then the 12. I get 9 hrs sot on my 12 with still some juice left. Plus throttling on elite is worse up to 60 percent worse according to notebook check. 12 looks better.

Oneplus 12 looks wayy more premium
It does? The camera element looks like a toilet seat.
@@Boki_86 😂😂😂
The 12 camera looks like a toilet seat, no thanks!
Hell no it doesnt.
@@simpledude5974 since the 12 released there where memes online how it does look like a toilet seat.
OnePlus gave me almost $500 for my 12 and a free watch to upgrade to the 13, it was a no brainer.
Thought they were not taking op12 for trade. Wtf
It was immediately fixed@@simpledude5974
That's a good point. You essentially paid around $200 dollars for a few decent upgrades.
I just got the 12 for Xmas knowing that the 13 was right around the corner. Now I want the 13. Oh well.
Upgrading from 11 to 12, just because of that screen. Still love it curved.
Yeah I ordered it yesterday. I had the 12. I sold it off recently. The thing that really got me this time was the battery. I'm looking forward to see how long it stays charged.
The battery is INSANE. I am actually uploading a video covering the battery tomorrow, so be on the lookout!!! I think you will be very impressed
I will definitely be watching as usual
Seriously how much more battery do you need over the OP12?

Please do a side by side against Pixel 9 Pro XL.
I am a nord user since 2021, idk what to get op12 or op13?
If you have the budget... Op 13.... If you want to save some money...op12
I’m new to OnePlus. I’m trying to decide which one to get 12 or 13,
It doesn't come with a charger in Europe tho
Which do you prefer between OP13 and Oppo find X8 pro with them being so similar ?
Will go for findx8
6:22 i get with my op12 around 30-40 hours away from charger and 8-10 screen time
Cant wait to break my record with the 13
I have 12R from last one year but recently it has started to restart by its own and that too randomly 2-3 times a day.Does some body knows how to rectify it or should I upgrade it to OnePlus 13
The Oppo find x8 pro is 100€ cheaper in the Netherlands..the OnePlus 12 is 300€ cheaper here aswell. Well let's wait for the price to drop haha.

What if I have a OnePlus 10T 5G since Aug 2022 and it's working fine? Should I upgrade I am really tempted
Ist worth upgrading if coming from the 10
Personally I'd try to wait until the price drops or they put a good sale on it. Probably 3 to 6 months. 🤷🏾♂️
