OnePlus 13 Review (Global Edition)

Reviewing the OnePlus 13 (global edition) after two weeks as my full-time phone, including full camera verdict, battery life test, gaming performance and more. Already the OnePlus 13 is one of the best phones in 2025, and yes - so far there have only been about two. But it's going to prove stiff competition for the Samsung S25 Plus/Ultra, Vivo X200 Pro etc, starting at £899 UK.

The OnePlus 13 boasts the usual Hasselblad camera arrangement, this time a triple 50MP lens setup. While the telephoto shooter isn't as strong as some recent rivals, I've found this phone is excellent for family and pet shots thanks to its dual exposure cleverness.

Gamers will also adore the OnePlus 13, with its Snapdragon 8 Elite smarts. You can play Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves and other demanding Android fare with a perfect frame rate pretty much 100% of the time, even on high graphics. Likewise, you have a great gaming mode stuffed into OxygenOS 15. Which is still one of my favourite launchers in 2025.

Battery life is sublime on the OnePlus 13 global edition, which boasts a 6000mAh cell. Or rather two 3000mAh batteries. You can charge them up quick enough too, with 50W wireless charging also supported.

So that's my review of the OnePlus 13, one of the best smartphones to hit the UK in recent times. Let us know your thoughts below!
