    I've been an iPhone and Android user since day one. The OP13 is my first phone from One Plus and I'm surprised how good it is. Performance is a 10. Super snappy and not one hiccup or micro stutter yet. Apps open so quick, it feels like it's cached. Has the best under display finger sensor I've tried on any phone, not one miss since initial setup. Battery life is a 10, and I'm surprised at the stand by battery life as well. Has pretty much all the features I want in an Android phone, without slapping me in the face with too many features, and latest specs from all angles. Camera quality is up there with the other major flagship devices. VERY IMPRESSED!!!

      Recently saw a OP13 vs OP13R vs 16 Pro Max and the iphone did the worst along with the OP13 in a blind camera test. People try to nitpick the OP13s camera as much as possible because they have nothing else to nitpick. I'm not saying it's the best but the picture quality is 100% flagship territory. On the other hand I think video is still meh. Apple is just noticeably better than every android phone (I think) and can shoot in log which is nice.

    Last year i picked up the OnePlus 12 and i really wanted to love it but the curved screen with palm touches were a pain and the OS seemed buggy. This year i gave OnePlus another shot and im so glad i did. The OnePlus 13 is amazing. Best Android phone option in the US

      I've switched from Galaxy A8 to iPhone 13 Pro because i didn't want an Exynos S22.
      I don't like people saying "i will keep my S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra". When you switch, you send a clear message to the brand. It's more coherent for me. People who keep their S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra, still are Galaxy users.

      I've had my 25u for a few days now, coming from a 24u... I gotta say, all the little refinements (and I understand part of the backlash is there wasn't "enough") have made this phone feel soooo good.
      I know nobody asked, but the main reason I stuck with Sammy was because I like their watches better (love the rotating bezel) and it integrates better, the anti glare display, and the overall design. It's personal preference. If I was buying fresh, yeah, op13 is an easy recommendation as it's cheaper, but upgrading with Samsungs trade ins made them the same "cost" for me.
      I was disappointed to see that despite 6000mah battery in the op13, some battery tests have shown it best the 25u by maybe 45 minutes at best, or 10 minutes at worst. 45 minutes is good, but if some tests 1000 extra mah only benefited it 10 minutes, that's no longer a huge draw.
      Hope everyone enjoys whichever they end up going with.. but I would definitely say that the 25u is amazing, even coming from something as recent as a 24u.

    OnePlus actually gives 6 years of updates ... 4 OS releases and 2 more of security updates. You can't say Samsung does 7, including security updates only, but not give OnePlus the same stat. It's one year difference. Of course, my last OnePlus device went 8 years before it went for a fatal swim (no IP rating on the OP3 back in 2016), so ultimately updates can matter ... to whoever ends up with my old phones. I've been on an annual cycle lately. The S24 Ultra to the OP13 absolutely feels like an upgrade. I like the S-Pen, but didn't use it constantly, and the cameras were okay ... but honestly I prefer the results I'm seeing from the OnePlus over last year's Ultra. Now I'm just waiting for OnePlus to release their Watch 3 to replace my still solid but aging Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. I definitely hate the way Samsung disables features that are hardware-based if you aren't using one of their phones with it. (ECG/blood pressure being two of them.) I didn't like losing those when I had the Pixel 7 Pro, don't like it now with the OnePlus, so hopefully I can find something that gives me ECG readings without being tied to brand lock-in.

Hopefully we'll have more phones with invisible display display selfie cameras so we can finally move on from the dam hole. Phone screens peeked in 2018-2019 the pop up camera was sooo cool and it never broke.

    6:07 I'd disagree about software update thing. First, with Samsung phones, you don't really know when or if you're going to get them. One UI 7.0 was supposed to come last year, it's february 2025. and S24/23 devices still don't have it. You may recieve it month before others, or three months after, you never really know. Second, I've been using Samsung phones since Galaxy S3/4 days. As soon as new model is presented, software updates almost always degrade experience on "older" ones. Not that you'll feel it right away, but with each update battery life gets worse, new camera issues here and there, whole phone feels less responsive. Of course, 7 years of updates is pure marketing gimmick, based on statistics of how long people actually use their phone.
