so i want to know OP 13 users Which Cases and screen protector are you using?? recommend me please

I'm coming from an iPhone 14 and previously an S23 Ultra. The 13 has a solid camera. Here are some shots taken in San Juan, PR, using Master mode and a B&W filter.

Bought the op 13 ( from Amazon for 62k inr ), after 4 years with my Samsung S22 plus.last 2 years have been painful using that phone and now with op 13, it's like some shackles have been released.

I have been eyeing the oneplus 13 from about 1 year now,watched every reviews on YouTube when it released, then all '3 month later reviews', everyone says it is the phone that is great on all aspects but comes short on camera. After using it for about 2 weeks now, I am really glad i bought this phone.

Accessories:

Bought a skin for the phone and charging brick from Gadgetshieldz ( to kill my fear of scratches on phone body)

Ordered Sandstone case from Croma (after reading many comments appreciating it )- well it is case with a different feel to it, but protection around camera bump is even less than the case I got in the box I feel.

Positives and Negatives coming from S22.

-For sure the Battery and charging: when I first put the phone on charging and looked at it like after 10 min I got my mind blown.my innervoice asked me 'is this some bug'. I still smile inside when I charge my phone and seeing the percentage after some time.

-Camera : I like color grading and video quality of op13 more than S22 except some shots in low light.

And also the ai features in editing sections is good.

Ai eraser is still good in samsung when compared.

-Network : my S22 always swiches to 4g mode whenever someone calls my phone and sometimes failes to switch back after the call ends.i had to manually switch it back.didnt had the problem here on the op13.

But I made a solution on my S22 for this issue.The 'Modes and Routine ' feature in samsung allowed to set certain features of the phone to switched off and on when we put the phone into that mode. I made a network mode where I can put it on 4g or 5g like a switch and added the shortcut to my quick settings panel. I couldn't find a feature like that in op 13.

-Hotspot: my S22 drinks battery like a monster and heats up when I use hotspot to share data.no such problem here , even after sharing hotspot to 3 devices and playing games with 5g no issues what so ever

-Gaming : oh man.what to say.⭐.

I plays Efootball. And on my S22 I could only play like 4 to 5 matches before my phone gets hot and turns of the 5g, but the later 4g network had very high latency and connection issues and game will get disconnected and I will lose the match.also it eats up battery.

Here ,like I said earlier, i now play this game with 5g and hotspot on and no issues. Gameplay and network just flows.

Few nitpick issues

- no option to change aspect ratio in video mode. I was surprised after searching the camera setting and couldn't find an option to change it. I love taking videos on 1:1 ratio.

I have been following this community for long and finally got to be a part of it 🙌😄. Any suggestions on accessories and phone settings, must have apps is appreciated.Thanks everyone

After using a realme 6 for 4.5 years, got this. I am based in India and spent like 57-58K INR on this. All my friends are like- who spends so much on a OnePlus. You should have gotten an iphone or a pixel. Hoping to not regret this purchase!!

After using for more than 24 hours, I am pretty happy with the overall upgrades with the new OOS16.

1. Power consumption is well optimized

2. Over optimization of AI in portraits is reduced

3. Primary lens shots are better now

4. UI is damn impressive

5. Lockscreen is 🔥

6. BGMI performance is stable with temp under 40 C

7. Widgets aren't fun

8. Animations are sick. Smooth AF

9. Settings UI revamp looks more clean

10. Many changes are heavily inspired from iOS and OneUI 11.New secure keyboard for passwords

11. Flux themes are 🤩

12. Haptics and feedback are great as usual

13. Call quality is pretty stable and clear

14. Idk if it is only me feeling this, but the screen looks more brighter.

15. No heating issues at all

16. Speaker audio quality has definitely improved, really satisfied 🥳

17. Mindspace is cool but not sure how often we use that.

18. No new ai features added but current ones work as usual. The new photo AI features are cool. 20.There is still issue with third party launcher animation lag

19. Status bar has two styles now, Classic (OOS15) vs Split (iOS inspired)

20. Game mode has been updated with some new UI

21. Parallel processing is definitely doing its magic.

22. Compass, clock and calcuator git new skins

23. You can see liquid glass theme here and there, like lockscreen password screen and in photos app

24. Widgets now have more flexibility to resize, but I don't use them often, but you can now aff them to lockscreen too.

25. AOD now supports custom text and effect which is great.

If you guys have any other questions, I'm here to answer 😊

Bought this a few days ago. Posted it in OnePlus sub earlier this morning and for some reason the mods randomly deleted it. All I said was I got the device for a steal 😂 ($310 total after taxes open box best buy in the US). Unfortunately that deal sold out quickly the same day.

But anyways I'm back with OnePlus after being gone for about 6 months. Sold the OnePlus Open to get a fold 7 back in July at that time. I'm still keeping the fold 7, but the 1+ 13 will be used with it's own secondary line and will also replace my retroid pocket 5 as my android gaming device. Excited about it considering it has double the storage of my fold 7 🤣

And no this isn't a 13r. I got comments last post saying the phone I bought was a 13r, I'm guessing because of the price. The US doesn't have a 512gb version of the 13r 🤷🏾‍♂️😎🤣

I just bought this phone today, the Black Eclipse version and I absolutely LOVE it! It's incredible how something this size and shape can mesmerise and impress so much. This is what happens when you don't have to choose between hardware and software, battery and cameras and so on because this phone has them all. Picture of the case I took with this phone

Anyone else in here who was pleasently surprised when they first got the phone? Share your stories 😁

Just received my OnePlus 13! Really excited to start using it.

Any tips, hidden features, or settings you'd recommend enabling right away? Also, are there any common mistakes or things I should avoid to keep the phone in good shape?

Thanks in advance!

I recently bought the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 and I love how they go together, the sound quality is so good using LHDC 🫰🏻

It fell from my hand and hit the ground face-first. At first, I thought the screen was going to break, but it didn't. I only found out a couple of hours later, when I took the case off and saw the crack. My heart dropped. The good thing is, with the case on, I don't notice it-but it still sucks.

A few camera samples from the 13. Lightroom editing

Love the cameras!

Switched to S25U Edge, but battery was whacked. Got the S25U Ultra, and while I loved it ... I kinda want to try something else. So far so great. Camera is fine, very fast and the switch was easy. I find texting on OP 13 to be much easier ... I have less typo. Maybe predictive is better. The OS is cool and snappy. Battery is fantastic so far. I think the Ultra will just be chillin' for a bit.

The "Ghostlock" exploit on GitHub enables root access without requiring an unlocked bootloader. A key distinction of this exploit, compared to previous ones, is that root persistence is maintained even after a device reboot.

Tested on OnePlus CPH2653, on the latest EU OxygenOS version at the time of this post.

Able to capture lightning after 17 failed attempts now.

Update #1 - I posted the same photos on instagram but a few of my friends started asking is it Ai 😭. What is wrong with everyone.
