As we’ve already said in our review, OnePlus 13 has it all: modern design in a compact body, top-notch performance (especially in gaming), good battery life, superfast charging, and a lovely screen. Like any other device, it has its downsides, especially in the camera department, but it’s still one of the most promising flagships on the market.


Considering that and the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 premiere, do you think OnePlus has the chance to dominate the flagship market in 2025? Is the OnePlus 13 good enough to beat Samsung’s best? If it isn’t, what do you think it’s lacking for it to be able to reach the top?

"do you think OnePlus has the chance to dominate the flagship market in 2025? Is the OnePlus 13 good enough to beat Samsung’s best?"


'Dominate' & 'beat' at what, exactly? Dominate them in the sales market or beat them at a "modern design in a compact body, top-notch performance (especially in gaming), good battery life, superfast charging, and a lovely screen" as you state the OP13 has?

You need to expound a little more on what you mean bydominate & beatbefore trying to get these questions answered.

And fix your raggedy ass website. It's 2025 & we still can't use bold, italics & underline correctly in the comments. SMH.

In Terms of what you get for the price. Absolutely. Value of the year for sure.

In terms of picture quality, only the Pixel has been consistently beating the Oneplus in "blind" comparisons last couple years.

I am waiting for the S25U official announcement so we know what the phone is and isn't. The OnePlus 13 hardware looks good on paper but I am dissapointed with the battery life, performance and concerned about support and security. Unless this time is different, Samsung preorder deals and trade in credits result in a sub $600 net cost for a new S ultra which is cheaper than i can get a OnePlus 13 for.
