Whether you're considering an upgrade or curious about its real-world value, this hands-on guide explores its pros, cons, and standout features. If you want to know how the OnePlus 13s compares in today’s competitive market, this in-depth review will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

Box Content

This is what you get inside the OnePlus 13s box:

• OnePlus 13s Smartphone
• 80W Charger
• USB Type-C cable
• Silicone case
• User manual
• SIM tool

Upon opening the OnePlus13s box, I discovered that all was well packaged. The box contained the small handset, a tight‑fitting color-matched TPU case, and 80 W SuperVOOC charger and USB‑A to USB‑C cable. It also has the SIM-eject tool and the quick-start guide. This was luxurious, in particular the velvet-yish box sleeve of Green Silk, and raring to go. It is easy, clear of clutter, and provides you with the important stuff.

Design & Build Quality

Since the first time I held the OnePlus 13s, I was impressed by its slim and durable feel. The aluminum frame is flat and provides a high-end touch and due to its flat surface the phone has better grip as compared to curved phones. Although it packs a display of 6.32 inches, it is such a compact and lightweight device incorporating one-handed usage.

I tried the vegan-leather version called Midnight Ocean. The back is made of soft, touchable microfiber that avoids fingerprints and is luxurious. Similar options such as glass back Arctic Dawn or wood-grain Black Eclipse also bring the unique character without being complex to hold.

It is also long lasting. It has Ceramic Guard ultra‑ceramic glass on the front and the chassis has the IP68/69 rating, which means that it is immune to immersion as well as hot-water jets. OnePlus went to an extent of proving its durability on their water-test cruise.

The attention to detail is confirmed on a daily basis: polished metal rails, stiff buttons, and the old familiar alert slider which remains to feel perfect. The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is very quick and accurate as it is embedded in the flat screen organically.

Display

The 6.3 FHD+ LTPO AMOLED display is the largest screen that strikes first at first unlock. Colors are fantastic and it is compatible with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision to deliver a cinema-like experience. The 120 Hz refresh rate scrolling and gaming feel is silky smooth, as a result of adaptive switching between 1 and 120 Hz.

The outdoor visibility is also excellent having a brightness of up to 1,600 nits. Aqua Touch and Glove Mode are quite convenient in bad weather or when wearing gloves, which is always useful during Bangladesh monsoons. The 2160Hz PWM dimming minimizes flicker, and assists in eye fatigue. Just as one user on Reddit remarked:

The high frequency of the OnePlus is superior to Samsung and Apple, it is more friendly to your eyes.

Display Mate rated the panel A++ in terms of color and contrast. I thought blacks were deep and colors were natural, but HDR in low light is a little bit too soft, tone shifts.

The device has a Ceramic Guard glass on the screen. The micro-curved edges do not impede usage or screen protectors although they do exist. The flat panel sensation contributes to the confidence of manipulation. The fingerprint scanner is fast, reliable in everyday use, which fits nicely under the display.

Camera

The two 50 MP rear cameras (main+telephoto) impressed me in daylight particularly. The periscope telephoto lens provides 3x sharp optical zoom and is usable up to 6x-good for portrait and long shots.

The ultrawide camera is weak in low-light and video with an infiltration of softness and noise. One of the users on Reddit wrote:

Not only 0.6x lens appears to be washed-out and grey, but also ultra wide is so unoptimized”

The 32MP front camera gives reasonable light performance with saturated color and contrast. Nevertheless, it does not have autofocus, and with a tendency to make selfies too bright, soft, or washed out, especially when taking group selfies or making video calls.

Daylight Photo:

A highlight is daylight shooting. Hasselblad tuning makes the 50 MP main and ultra-wide sensors produce sharp, vivid images with natural tones. Action and portraits can be perfect with social media-ready detail and fast burst capture.

Low-Light Photo:

The low light performance is mediocre. Night mode makes main camera photos appear well exposed and low in noise, though they can appear warm or slightly oversharpened. Indoor and ultra-wide shots are usually soft and grainy. Other users consider the results to be incoherent and want Pixel-level performance.

Video capture is multi-purpose. The main camera allows recording 4K at 60 fps with all lenses and 8K with 30 fps. Modes are Ultra‑Steady, slow‑mo, Movie and Dual‑View. I found that 8K handheld clips looked sharp in my testing, and the stabilization was good, but low‑light clips appeared soft and grainy. Other users complain of jitter and frame drops in stressful conditions.

Flexibility and control are provided by software features such as Hasselblad tuning, RAW and Master mode, AI burst and AI Reflection Eraser.

Performance & Software

OnePlus 13s uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is very fast. The device is great to multitask with multiple applications or play a graphically intense game such as Genshin Impact and PUBG Mobile; it is smooth throughout. Up to 24 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage will guarantee efficient work and storage space without any limitations.

Regarding thermal management, the OnePlus 13s has a huge vapor chamber cooling system. The device is cool and has a rarely rising temperature to 40 o C when used in long gaming sessions, and therefore, it performs well without overheating.

The OnePlus 13s is powered by OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15, which is clean and easy to use. The operating system is ultra fast and fluid with rejuvenated animations and a 20 percent smaller digital footprint as compared to its predecessor.

There are also a lot of options to customize the themes, wallpapers and icons to make them fit their taste. The combination of AI capabilities, including smart search and AI-based photo editing, further promotes the user experience.

Among such outstanding features is the Gemini Live Agent that gives one access to AI-based help right at the lock screen, a feature that is not present in most devices .

AnTuTu Benchmark & GeekBench Score

The OnePlus 13s is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip-set, making it capable of providing a superb performance. It scored 25,81,355 points in AnTuTu benchmark v10 tests, which ranks it as one of the best smartphones in its segment. Its breakdown is composed of 530888 CPU score, 1154427 GPU score, 477470 memory score and 414170 UX score. Such numbers represent a great jump in performance when compared to its predecessor, the OnePlus 12, which only scored about 1.9 million in AnTuTu v9.

The OnePlus 13s has scored 2,974 on a single core and 8,653 on a multi-core on Geekbench 6. These scores indicate good single-core as well as multi-core performance with the former being applicable in tasks such as launching apps and browsing, and the latter applicable in heavy applications and multitasking.

Battery & Charger

The OnePlus 13s has a large battery capacity of 5,850mAh, which is impressive in terms of the battery life. When put to practice, it was comfortable to use an entire day on intensive applications, including gaming, streaming, and multitasking. It lasted approximately a day and a half with moderate usage, thus being predictable to power users. Although there are no mentioned specific screen-on time parameters, the battery performance is equal to the expectations of its capacity.

The OnePlus 13s has fast charging capabilities, 80W wired charging. Its charge capacity was 50% in about 15 minutes and it took about 36 minutes to be completely charged in tests. This fast charging is very useful especially to the individuals who might have little time to charge their devices.

Also, the OnePlus 13s has 50W wireless charging, which provides an alternative solution to charging without a cable. It should be mentioned, though, that the 50W AirVOOC Magnetic Charger, which allows such high-speed wireless charging, is sold separately. In its absence, wireless charging would be restricted to the conventional Qi.

In Bangladesh, the OnePlus 13s is already not officially available, but it has two main variants to choose between. The OnePlus 13s price in Bangladesh is BDT 76,000 (Unofficial) 12GB/256GB of storage and users get a decent performance and storage combination that suits the needs of most users.

The variant with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage space will cost around BDT 83,000, and it is recommended to gamers and multitaskers.
