OncePlus 13 is insanely fast, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and, if you go for the more powerful model, a whopping 16 GB of RAM. But even the base model can deliver impressive speed, especially with OnePlus’ RAM expansion feature. With 16 GB of RAM, I pushed mine to 28 GB, and let me tell you, everything flies.

We know not everyone pushes their phone to the limit like we do. We edited videos, which is one of the toughest tests for any phone. We had other phones crash apps, struggle with large video files, or freeze up completely. But with the OnePlus 13, I’ve never had a single issue.

For most users, the phone’s power is most noticeable when gaming or multitasking. We constantly flipping between multiple apps, and the OnePlus 13 makes it seamless. Gamers will appreciate the Dual Cryo-Velocity vapor chambers, which keep things cool during extended sessions. Plus, OnePlus has a new fast charger, the AIRVOOC 50W magnetic charger, that helps manage heat even better.

The image quality on the new OnePlus 13 has received several noticeable upgrades, thanks to better processing, tweaks to the zoom camera, and Hasselblad’s improvements—especially for portraits.
