Is the OnePlus 13 worth it?

Yes if battery life and a bright big screen matter most to you. At $899 at OnePlus as of November 3, it undercuts most flagship rivals with similar specs.

How is it different from the OnePlus 12?

The OnePlus 13 has a larger 6000 mAh battery, a brighter 4500-nit display and newer Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The 12 has a smaller battery and older connectivity.

How long does the battery last?

The 6000 mAh cell lasts well over a day of mixed use, and 50W wireless charging tops it up quickly. Talk time is rated at about 3696 minutes.

Is the 6.82-inch screen too big?

It is large, so one-handed use is hard for most people. The curved edges also make the phone feel narrower than the spec suggests.

Does it work with US carriers?

It supports 5G and dual nano-SIM, but carrier support and band coverage are narrower than on Samsung or Google phones. Check your carrier's bands before buying.

When is the OnePlus 13 cheapest?

Flagship OnePlus phones usually drop around major sales events and after a successor launches. Its current $899 at OnePlus as of November 3 is already near the low end of its recent range.
