Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra vs OnePlus 13 5G

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the better all-rounder for people who want the S Pen, a 200 MP camera system and the longest software support Samsung offers. The OnePlus 13 wins on battery and charging: a 6,000 mAh cell, 80W wired and 50W wireless beat the S25 Ultra's 5,000 mAh, 45W and 15W. Build quality is close, both are glass-and-metal flagships with IP68 water resistance. Owners of the S25 Ultra praise the display and cameras but note the size and the slow charging; OnePlus 13 owners praise battery life and smooth performance, and some miss the S Pen and Samsung's camera zoom range.

• Choose the Galaxy S25 Ultra if you want the S Pen, a 200 MP main camera with strong zoom, and Samsung's long update commitment.
• Choose the OnePlus 13 if battery life and fast wired and wireless charging matter more to you than the S Pen and Samsung's camera zoom.
