The OnePlus 13 debuted globally at the start of the year, and it continues to be one of the best phones you can buy in 2025. The new design makes it easier to hold and use, and I like the unique leather texture that's available with the blue color option. The camera housing looks cleaner as well this time, and the best part is that the phone has a bigger 6,000mAh silicon battery that easily lasts over a day.
Combine that with incredible cameras, the best hardware available today, and a vibrant AMOLED with useful additions, and it isn't hard to see why the OnePlus 13 continues to sell so well. I tested the OnePlus 13 for a month when it launched, and went back to the device several times over the course of 2025. I used all iterations of OxygenOS going back to the very first beta build that debuted back in 2015, and I'd like to think I know my way around the skin. So if you're just getting started with the OnePlus 13, here's how I set up my phone.
