The OnePlus 13 is finally a OnePlus flagship I trust to do it all

[phillynews215]

OnePlus flagships have put me in a tricky spot over the last few years. For as much as I’ve liked them and wanted to recommend them wholeheartedly, they’ve always come with a pretty major caveat or two. From skipping an official IP rating to adding and removing wireless charging in back-to-back generations, there’s always been something for me to question. Now, with its 2025 Android flagship, both wireless charging and IP ratings are back, but in my head, the damage is done — I still go into every OnePlus review waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Only this time, with the OnePlus 13, that shoe hasn’t dropped yet. In fact, after the better part of a month with the phone, I’ve found myself liking it more and more. The $100 price hike over the OnePlus 12 may sting for some, but don’t let that put you off: this phone has stepped up to the plate time and time again and surprised me in places where previous OnePlus flagships have let me down. Here’s what the OnePlus 13 gets so right.
