The upcoming launch of the OnePlus 13R should be good news for those of us who like full-featured phones, but would rather not pay flagship prices when capable handsets can be had for less. Unfortunately, leaked specs for the OnePlus 13R suggest that OnePlus might be dropping one of the things that made the OnePlus 12R so appealing.
Just as a reminder, the OnePlus 12R debuted earlier this year alongside the flagship OnePlus 12. OnePlus had release R series devices before — mainly in China and India — but the 12R marked the first time this particular type of midrange phone made it to the wider world. It was a welcome arrival — the OnePlus 12R may not have had the premium specs that the OnePlus 12 offered, but in areas like performance, display and most certainly battery life, it certainly delivered a high-end experience.
