OnePlus started life as a plucky upstart, with the OnePlus One commanding start-up-grade hype when it dropped in 2014. Almost 11 years on, the phone maker has become mature, safe, and yes, even predictable. It's this older, more conservative OnePlus that gives us the OnePlus 13 more than a decade on.
With so many phones vying for the spot of best Android phone on the scene, the OnePlus 13 launches days before the Honor Magic 7 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and a few weeks after the Oppo Find X8 Pro – all contenders for the title.
