Friends, when OnePlus came for the 1st time, it was known as the flagship killer. OnePlus 13 is here, and we're going to do its unboxing and first impressions. But now, it's not just a flagship killer; it's also beating the flagships! But not in specs, but in pricing! It's now priced at Rs 70-75K. Last year, I had both, OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 12. Oh my God, it's crazy! This was priced at Rs 60-65K. And this one is going to come to Rs 70-75K. That's the expected price. It's going to launch soon, probably by the end of December. Or in the first week of January. This was one of the OnePlus 13 phones that launched in China during the 1st wave. Unboxing and First Impressions, let's start! If you're new here, then do hit LIKE if you enjoy the video!

It's never settled, but it's not settled yet. Interesting, the camera module looks a bit small. These days, they look big. This one is not all that big. I mean, it's relatively big, but still. And then the SIM card tool. Documentation, what else? And the phone. Ok, let's see. Alright, there's a 100W Super VOOC charger. And then that familiar red cable, USB Type A to Type C. It should have been Type C to Type C. But it's Type A to Type C. Let's keep it aside & look at the phone. I'll keep it aside so that you know how different OnePlus 13 is. Unboxing & First Impressions Look at this. Alright, these are the 3 phones. Look at how big it is. In my unboxing video, I said that the OnePlus 12 looks heavy & big. Not this one! This is the first time it's coming with Wagan leather.

The design has changed now. Earlier, it used to be fused with the frame. Not now; it's separate now. And there's a silver line that goes across from the back. And you can see the edge of the Hasselblad. But I'll tell you what, it's flat now. Earlier, it used to be rounded. Even the display used to be a 3D curved display. It's still curved, but not so much. This is a quad-curved, micro-quad-curved display. Micro-quad-curved display & flat sides. This is definitely going to get fingerprints. Because it's shiny. And I'll tell you what, it feels good to hold it in your hand. It's a big phone. It has a big display & a big phone. Comparatively, if I compare it with the OnePlus 12, it's lighter. The battery capacity has increased from 600mAh. But still, I feel it's light. Let's see because it has a 6000mAh battery.

It has a 211.7g battery. I think this was 222g or something like that. It has a 223g battery. Its weight has reduced from 11-12g. Whereas the battery capacity has increased from 10-15%. It has a 6000mAh battery. So that's very nice. In fact, I like the in-hand feel. If I talk about the protection, there's a ceramic shield in China, but if it comes here, it'll come with Gorilla Glass. Whatever it is, it's a flagship so it has to fall. 1, 2 & boom! Ok. One more time. 1, 2 & boom! Ok, nothing. Absolutely nothing. By the way, it has all the ports & buttons. You get everything on top, there's an IR blaster, stereo speakers, and then that alert slider is also there. It's good & very satisfying. Let's start the phone.

Let's see from inside. Look at the display. The bezels are very thin, and there's no chin. I'll say it's not there literally. According to me, the screen-to-body ratio would be above 94%. And that's why it looks manageable. Despite having a 6.82'' display, there are no bezels. This is kind of an all display. It's a 6.82'' 2K resolution display. It's a fast resolution display, and it's an LTPO display. There's an adaptive refresh rate of 1-120Hz. It has a brightness of 4500 nits as compared to last time. You can adjust it from here, which is around 800 nits. Overall, it's an excellent display. It's micro-curved, and it doesn't have the unintended touches like before. It'll be fun for gaming as well. Let's talk about the specifications and performance. It's an 8th Elite 3Nm processor with a 6000 mAh battery.

It has an LPDDR5X RAM type & UFS 4.0 storage type. It has 100W charging & 50W wireless charging. Talking about the performance, Antutu's score is one of the highest. It's closing to 2.8M. It's a Chinese variant & we had an issue while logging in. But it claims to do 120FPS gaming. You should not have any problem playing heavy games on this setting. Battery Life If you're a moderate user & with this kind of battery & charging, you can easily use it for 1.5-2 days. No matter how heavy you use it, it'll last for a day. You can play games all day & the battery will remain. OS It's a Chinese variant & it's on ColorOS. In India, it'll come with OxygenOS skin. It's a Chinese variant & it still needs a lot of permissions. It'll come on Android 15. We'll talk about AI & OS features when it launches in India.

Sensors. It used to have an optical sensor, but now it has an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. It's a good thing that the X200 Pro has an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. So now we're getting flagships with more ultrasonic sensors. Connectivity. It has the latest connectivity. It supports 5G, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC & IR Blaster. So it has all connectivity options & sensors. But that's not what's important. Let's talk about the cameras. When we talk about the OnePlus flagship series cameras, we always say that they should've been improved. In the OnePlus 13, it's a Chinese variant. I won't tell you the complete conclusion. But yes, it has 50MP cameras, 3x periscope, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP primary sensor, OS. Yes, it takes good photos. And it has Hasselblad branding & Hasselblad modes.

All that is there. But if you compare it with camera-centric phones like X200 or iPhone, you'll feel that it could've been better. We've taken a lot of photos. I'm giving you the G-Drive link. Do check it out. But let us wait till it arrives on Indian shores. Then we'll review the camera. Selfies. It has a 32MP selfie camera. You can shoot 4K 60FPS with all sensors. I'm talking about rear & front. And you can shoot 8K 30FPS in rear as well. So in terms of videography, it has top-line specs. In terms of durability, there's an upgrade. It was IP65 in OnePlus 12, now it's IP68 & IP69. So that's a thumbs up. I'll tell you what, its price is going to increase as well. It's going to increase from Rs 5-10K. And I haven't told you about the variants.

It's base variant is going to be 12-256GB. It'll go all the way up to 24GB RAM & 1TB option. Talking about the 12-256GB base variant, I don't think it's going to come below Rs 70K. It'll go up to Rs 70-75K. And in that price range, you have some really good phones including iPhones. And that too flagship level. So the competition is obviously going to increase. Like it used to be that OnePlus flagship is available for Rs 30K. Now it's going to be available for Rs 75K. And for that kind of competition, they should increase the OS upgrades. I mean, 4G & 5G are not enough anymore. They should give at least 6-7 years of upgrades if they demand the price. And definitely when it comes to India, I want to see an improvement in the camera. I think that is the tilting point where I'll say that

if OnePlus's camera seriously gives competition with X200, X-Series, Vivo, iPhones, or Samsung phones. This is definitely a worthy competition in that particular price range. But I'll tell you what, OnePlus has a lot of fans. They're going to buy this phone, that's for sure. But let's wait till the launch. It'll definitely wait for that video, it's going to be very interesting. That's all for this OnePlus 13's Unboxing & First Impressions video. Until then, Keep Trakin & Stay Safe!
