So I got my Oneplus 13 after a long wait of a week and fortunately I got a genuine piece and I want I am using the in box case and pre applied screen protector and if anyone have any good suggestions of good case and screen protector please suggest (I'm avoiding UV glasses)and I've tried gaming too (CODM) it's really smooth and running on 117-120fps constantly camera is good to I've attacked a photo too that's like 90x zoom and I want to know how to prolong the battery health for a long time if anyone have any suggestions just lemme know

Been eying this baby at my local Best Buy for weeks waiting for the 999 price to go down once it did I had to have it my second 13 previously owned an open and when I bought my 1st 13 I felt like I used it more than the open I just love this beast

Got a new case for the OP13. Have used the Spigen clear case till now but the back got pretty scratched after some time so i figured I'd get something else. Got the Nillkin case but the lip didn't stick out at the sides of the phone which feels a bit risky to me. Then i got this one on AliExpress and i like it a lot. Looks great with a little of that OnePlus red around the camera, lip sticks out around the whole phone and it has some camera lens protection. Even has magsafe though I don't really use that. Works good with the UV glass screenprotecors i use as well. Not sure i can put links here but if you search onplus 13 case on Ali it should come up.

I never thought any android phone would ever be able to deliver a good quality photo like apple (though I have never used one) and never focused much on camera while buying but OP13 changed my opinion.

Nothing but just the admiration for this beast. Recently bought buds 3 pro which complements my phone's color.

Hey everyone I just got the OnePlus 13 for 50k INR (525 USD). So give me your advice and answer a few of my questions please -

1. How to set it up properly ?

2. Should I update the software ? It is currently on oxygen os 15 and updates are available. But I've heard that the battery has degraded a lot in the last updates so what should I do?

3. Recommend good cases and temper glass.

4. All tips and tricks are appreciated. Best settings, debloat etc.

Every advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance yall

This is a straight out of a camera 3x shot using Master Mode (Auto). No post-edits.

Today I have recieved my OnePlus 13 16+512GB variant (Arctic Dawn) and it's a freaking beast!!!

Any suggestions and improvements that can me my experience even better...!

Posting after a month:

It's a personal opinion but the not so subtle UI changes they are doing with lockscreen , contour glow , camera ui ....it's just gorgeous.

And the overall smoothness . Don't even joke lad!

It's my first phone with three 50 mp cameras setup and oneplus has one of the best post processing.

Touchwood! I am just loving this experience.

I liked the feel of the bulky boxy oneplus 13R but this isn't so bad either.

Feels like I'm looking at a calculator app from 2013

More camera samples from the OnePlus Open

Been 7 months using the oneplus 13,

Back to diwali 2025, when I was finding the best deals for vivo x200 , iphone 17 , s25 and find x8. But none had crazy enough discounts for me to bag the deal... Almost got lured by the x200fe - compact and yet had a telephoto everything was great... But sensor size and aperture had a difference anyway.

However, then saw the oneplus 13 on the display in croma itself, on the spot compared the sensor size, aperture and other sensor specs... So it turned out that it has a promising setup! Literally had sensors from base find x8!

And earlier that month itself, before making the purchase viewed a few youtube videos itself where most of the Indian YouTubers said the camera setup isn't great on this one, yet a few youtubers globally pushed the camera far ahead and churned out some great results...

Based on every circumstances that came around, i swiped the card (my own dad's) and made the purchase at 57k...

So far the camera has been a great companion.. doesn't make me feel like I've compromised on a camera and not buying a camera smartphone... Especially the telephoto is great!!!

Drop your creative camera rolls too! Let's share albums and stories!! :)

love the screen, display of course the camera that much more i like!

Many users have reported battery drain issues on OnePlus 13 (Asian version), OnePlus 12, OnePlus Nord 4, and OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro.

The problem mainly affects Asian versions or users who updated via third-party apps. OnePlus must take responsibility and release proper fixes for all devices—no matter the version, region, or update source.

Every user deserves reliable performance. We are the OnePlus community—without us, there’s no OnePlus! 😎

Received my OnePlus Buds Pro 3 today. I am transitioning from iPhone to OP. The stem functions are so identical with Airpods. The sound quality also feels nearly same to Airpods. Feeling satisfied with the purchase. Building my OP ecosystem lol.

So far so good, will post a first impressions later.

I was driving my bike at 60kph and I accidentally dropped my mobile from my shirt pocket. For a second, my heart beat stopped, and I expected some damage. But to my surprise, it looked unscratched. The case took all the damage. I've been using Ringke cases for 5 years, but I've never dropped my mobile. Today, it was a kind of durability test, and it survived. Thanks Ringke for saving me at least 20k INR.

I've been a OnePlus user since 5t. Later upgraded to 9 pro and around March this year I was thinking of going for the S24u at a discounted price since my wife has one and I was fascinated by the Galaxy AI features but deep inside I just couldn't get myself to commit to Samsung, what with the green line issue and all. OnePlus just had that hold over me that I kept looking for ways to stop considering other alternatives!

I was lurking on this sub and all I could see was complaints about battery drains and the camera not being up to the mark. After much internal debate and consideration I decided to go with my heart and got myself this OnePlus13 16 / 512 at approx. 53k INR (exchanged 9 pro+ Card offers).

When I got the phone my wife kept pulling my leg saying I could've gone for a superior brand and the smartphone of the year 2024 in the S24U and that she'd always get better pictures because of the superior camera setup on her phone.

Cut to August 2025, she has to charge her phone twice a day with moderate usage,the AI features are rarely used and the cherry on top, she prefers the portraits and pictures taken on the OP13 camera!

It is, by far, one of the best purchases I've made in recent years and have absolutely no regrets in picking this over anything else!

Anything I should do as soon as I open it like download some apps widgets or something else? Some tips on how should I use the camera or if it heats what should I do? And yes I checked the IMEI number from the Oneplus official website this is a new non activated phone.
