It’s also throwing in a OnePlus Watch 2R (a $229.99 value) or a free pair of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 (normally $179.99) with each purchase. Amazon and Best Buy, meanwhile, are bundling it with a $100 gift card, though only the latter is doing so with the free storage upgrade. The OnePlus 13 is a stunner of a phone, one that impressed us in a number of ways. It boasts a 6.82-inch 120Hz display and runs on Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite, making it even faster than its predecessor. Its massive 6,000mAh battery also stands out amongst a sea of 5,000mAh Android phones, allowing you to use it for multiple days on a single charge. The triple-array camera — which consists of a 50-megapixel main shooter, an ultrawide, and a telephoto — is also on par with the best, letting you produce sharp photos in dim lighting.Even more notable, though, is that the OnePlus 13 finally offers all the flagship features you’d expect from a phone at this price. That includes support from all three major US wireless carriers and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. OnePlus also promises four years of OS updates and six years of security support, rendering it a better investment than the company’s previous smartphones. Sure, the OnePlus ecosystem still isn’t as rich as that of Samsung or Google, but if that doesn’t bother you, it’s otherwise an excellent phone.The OnePlus 13 comes with improved water resistance, support from all three major US wireless carriers, and a strong software policy. Coupled with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and multi-day battery life, it’s an impressive high-end Android phone. / Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we’ve tested sent to your inbox weekly. / Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we’ve tested sent to your inbox weekly.The Verge is a vox media network© 2025 Vox Media, LLC.
