I bought the same phone with same spec here in Canada. You earned my subscription with the comment "I will have instructions on how to flash the global ROM" you are the man! Thank you
Hopefully he convinced you instead of persuading you... but you can be quite sure, that you'll be very satisfied with the newest 1+ flagship device. Wouldn't I have switched to (my first private) iPhone 15 Pro Max in December 2023 and bought all the accessories for it, I would have immediately bought the 1+ 13 these days... I owned the 1+ 7 pro since September 2019 and was VERY confident with what I got back then... I still have the 1+ 7Pro as a "backup phone"... in case I'd need one... wish you a also very happy time using the 1+ 13 soon! 😀
I was very impressed when I bought the first 1+1 model when it was released. After that, I drifted off to Samsung and others, but regarding this 13 version, I am now considering returning to 1+ again
I can't wait to get my hands on this phone soon. I'll be definitely doing some camera comparison videos with OPPO find x8 pro and the Vivo x200 pro ❤😮😊
Mike is it possibly for you to do comparison between ColorOS and OriginOS? There is so many good new phones so it is really hard to choose between Oppo, Vivo and Onleplus just based on specs. Even short video would be much appreciated. 😇
I love to see what OnePlus is doing these days. Would love to see a comparison between the OnePlus 13 and Find X8 But as someone who has the OnePlus 12 and the Find X7U I'm not sure I can see much difference between OxygenOS and ColorOS. I mean I can right now, because my OnePlus 12 is running OxygenOS 15 and my X7U is still on ColorOS 14. But they still seem like very similar software. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Love the software actually
Question, would the bands available in the US change based on whether the ROM is COLOR or Oxygen? I ask because the Oneplus 12 (chinese version) has limited bands available in comparison to Oneplus 12 (global version).
That blue looks phenomenal. If I do get this phone it's definitely going to be that one. I love OnePlus devices, they're always awesome and at great prices.
What is the blue made from? Is it plastic, rubber???? I am thinking of the white for durability. I worry about the blue picking up grease and dirt from my fingers that cannot be removed.
It's a very intriguing argument. OxygenOS has a lot of tweaks and seems to me very robust and stable. Currently using a 8T and man, this thing still holds up fantastically, can't believe this thing is 4 years old, of course I don't do crazy things like editing videos on the fly, but this phone manages most of the tasks flawlessly.
Great video Average Dad! Does the Chinese version have ESim feature? If not, can this feature enabled after flashing Global ROM or there is no built-in hardware at all?
me too. i wasn't gonna get it. but my s24 ultra is flat. my pixel 9 pro xl is flat. but my 16/512 emerald green oneplus 12 is not. so i'm gonna get the oneplus 13 only because it's as close to flat as a high end oneplus phone will get. i HATE these useless curved screens.
Yup😂…poor dude bout to know the frosty feeling of these youtube streets when you disparage a great reviewer who doesnt poke Anyone! You had a average run buddy smh lol
I wished I could get it for the same price in my country, the only reliable seller here sells it for 27500 Mexican pesos. Wich is like 1400 dollars for the 1tb model
He's got the Chinese variant which had ColorOs. These can be purchased online through sites like TradingShenzen or Giztop with some drawbacks like no Android Auto, OxygenOS or eSim. OxygenOS flash is possible but not guaranteed on some overseas phone suppliers.
Hi - VERY interested in the getting one of these. With the global ROM flash - will that make it just like when they release the global version of the phone?? android auto etc? Thanks in advance - i have a oneplus nord 2T and its been fantastic!
Yup, i hate the design at first. But the more and more i look at it like everytime i open youtube someone review this phone, i think the design start to grows on me. I love it
Thanks for the great video! As far as I know when you buy the chinese version certain bands are not available. Do you have any information if these missing bands used in Europe can be activated on a chinese model? Thanks!
I'm mine so far, looking forward to having the option to flash it. Went with the black, a little tip of the cap to the original OnePlus wood look. And the included case is very similar to the sandstone finish.
@@JT-mz5oc Yes it should do. The Chinese variant likes to limit Google services hence why it doesn't work on it and sometimes you have to have download Google Play store.
Don't get me wrong, I have the Pixel 9 Pro XL and love the new iPhone like design. It is a little disappointing though that literally every company seems to be going the same route. Always nice to have different options even if it is something as small as the difference between raised sides versus rounded sides. I always liked the curved display phones.
A quick question there. Is the fact that android auto and having colour os the only differences to a global OnePlus 13( as I'm not a driver I don't care about android auto) because I'm very close to getting one off your store the blue £700 variant. Cheers in advance 👍
Could anyone tell me what versions there is off this phone. I went onto the Oneplus website UK and they want £750 for the One plus 12 they haven't got the One plus 13 yet for sale, is there a UK version of this phone.
'Morning, Sir. Just wondering if by any chance there will be a black friday discount code to use in your store? Congrats on all the success by the way, and thank you very much
Hi, I am from Croatia and I am using Telemach (Tele2) mobile network. Can I buy OnePlus 13 or Honor Magic7 Pro (Chinese ROMs)? They will support 5G network bands on these smartphones or not? Please, answer. Thank you!😊❤
Thank you for the quick first impressions review. In your full review could you please test the new BOE X2 display of how bright it can get and the contrast it keeps under direct sunlight conditions? It might worth compare it with devices like Samsung S24 ultra that had one of the best display in this category last year. It will be very interesting to see that as the same display will come with the new Vivo and Oppo flagships.
I have a Oneplus 10pro color os Chinese version and won't conect to my oneplus watch 2r. Do you think I will have same problem with this 13.The oneplus app won't even load
🤳🏼AGREED, I want this even more than I did with both my 7TPro & 8Pro in 2019. Still got my camera pop up 7TPro in the cupboard! Typing on my S24Ultra, also have my 16ProMax, S23Ultra, S21Ultra & still, I'm mega excited to buy a Black 16gbRAM/512gb from you on Thurs 28th this month. Can't wait!!!
Beast of phone at a great price! BTW where on your website can see the "average dad select phones" . Even though used from average dad they are select! 💪👊😉
The WHITE one you held, looks like the camera is pretty much CENTERED, but the BLUE one looks offset WAAAAY to the left. Yes/no? I don't know why they'd be different, but they sure LOOK that way. *1* Is the VOLUME just ok, or can it get LOUD? *3* What about the flashlight...meh, or BRIGHT?
@@redy2kl HA, well that explains THAT! *LOL* Thx for the reply. Yeah...I just called *Oneplus,* & they're not even sure when or IF the "13" will become available in the US.
I believe Google pay works on Color OS that is shipped with the Chinese model since you can install the Google play store and Google wallet. Only android auto won't work without flashing oxygen OS.
I think my only real concern was the telephoto lense, which is still at 3x. Below the competition now. Photos I've seen taken with it here and everywhere else look great though. I just hope they continue to keep the prices down when it goes global.
To bad that the 256G variant in blue seems to be oversold. I'm really looking forward to the tutorial on flashing. I flashed OxygenOS on my wifes Oneplus 12 and it worked exactly the same as my non imported 12😊
Looks really beautiful. I agree that the off centre camera module looks fantastic. My current phone is the OnePlus 8 and it is still a great phone that looks and feels amazing but we have now had our last security update so I'm looking at what's next. (I do prefer oxygen os though)

Where did you buy it in Canada?
How is the network connection and what cell provider you use?
Why not just wait for the global release which will have better compatibility with Canadian carriers lmao
Which cell provider? Do you get LTE, 5G, VoLTE and VoWifi? Canadian cell providers suck with "greymarket" phones.
Thanks for the update on the ROM flash AD, Looks like I'll be grabbing the 13 and selling my 12 on
You've persuaded me to get the Oneplus 13. Love the blue colour

I ask because the Oneplus 12 (chinese version) has limited bands available in comparison to Oneplus 12 (global version).
No, bands are based on the antenna and what frequency bands it tunes. It's a hardware thing
Any issues with notification delays with it being Chinese model?

Do you have any more information on the phones at the beginning of the video. Price etc..
I would like to hear about how Color OS 15 compares with Oxygen OS 15 and will you be adding Oxygen to devices when it is available.
It's a very intriguing argument. OxygenOS has a lot of tweaks and seems to me very robust and stable. Currently using a 8T and man, this thing still holds up fantastically, can't believe this thing is 4 years old, of course I don't do crazy things like editing videos on the fly, but this phone manages most of the tasks flawlessly.
I am ready to order 2 of the Oneplus 13s as our Samsung S20 FE batteries are degrading quickly. Waiting on the software comparison video Mike.
What about bloatware on Chinese version are there tons of Chinese apps and adverts??
Where is the software video you ment?
Will it provide the UK charger and does it have any restrictions since it's the Chinese version
buy 2 pin to uk plug adapter to use the included charger dont cost much
just got my oneplus13 today.. waiting for the global ROM info and instruction.. you earned my sub.. thanks a lot
can you do a comparaison between color os and oxygen os please
Does the global rom have Google discovery page on the home screen? Is it oxygen or colour os?
Vorrei sapere la spesa di spedizione,dalla Cina ,al UK ?
Pretty hyped already! Mines coming the next 1-2 weeks.
Great video Average Dad! Does the Chinese version have ESim feature? If not, can this feature enabled after flashing Global ROM or there is no built-in hardware at all?
I think you need to wait for global version for that, it's a hardware difference, previous OnePlus phones were like that.
No esim in any Chinese phone.
I'm never sure what esim is used for? Is it just to easily add a SIM when roaming?
@@oracleoftruth Yes, but you could also install an e-sim when your abroad and data roaming. (sim for calling, esim for data)
I thought the screen was going to be completely flat. I see they just minimized it from the 12. I still would've loved to see the screen flat.
me too. i wasn't gonna get it. but my s24 ultra is flat. my pixel 9 pro xl is flat. but my 16/512 emerald green oneplus 12 is not. so i'm gonna get the oneplus 13 only because it's as close to flat as a high end oneplus phone will get. i HATE these useless curved screens.
Do you send to Portugal?
Great phone and will be a future purchase for me. Only gripe I can see so far is the screen looked quite reflective for watching content
Wo hast du das Handy noch mal gekauft?
The global ROM was being released end of November and being added to your Oneplus 13s in your site. Has that happened yet.
Hi, is the protective removable glass already on the phone?
Alternatively will there be glass protectors available for it due to its curvature?
Hey mate, i am from the Uk too... do you need the adaptor for the charger right? Cheers
Yes it comes with a two flat pronged charger. Either an adapter or buy one separately.
Love how he turned off comments on his newest video

Thanks in advance - i have a oneplus nord 2T and its been fantastic!
05:20 What do u mean by ,..well it will be glass underneath?
Glass under leather?
underneath the material on the back
@AverageDadOfficial
Why do that ? Won't that increase both the thickness & weight? Op13 Leather back weighs less than glass back.
Could you explain more why do you think ColorOS is better?
Bought the blue 24Gb version with Color OS, absolutely love it. Massive upgrade on my Samsung S20FE and my first OnePlus phone.
If the camera housing was square it would work but a circular one must be centered. My opinion anyway.
Yup, i hate the design at first. But the more and more i look at it like everytime i open youtube someone review this phone, i think the design start to grows on me.
I love it
Just received my op13 and it's great! Exactly what I expected and more. Can you give any details about the global rom? When will it be available?
January i think
@@AverageDadOfficial oh, I guess the tip that the global rom would be releasing around the end of November didn't push through? 😢
@@AverageDadOfficialso the “confirmation that it will be releasing at the end of the month” was false?
What's the difference between global ROM and the international released one?
For you on your experience do you think that the Pura 70 ultra has a better battery than OnePlus 12 and vivo x100 ultra or you have another opinion
I have the OnePlus 8T running the OnePlus dialler to allow call recording, does the OnePlus 13 allow call recording? Many thanks

Is screen more flat than OnePlus 12 ?
Any update on global rom release date please?
how can there be a global rom in november when the global release is in december or even january?
Why do you think the release will be in December or January?
Also the device is physically different so manufacturing will lag software.
Does it have Android Auto?
Is Google wallet / Google pay working on this device in the UK? I need to know this as it's the only thing stopping me committing to it.
I believe Google pay works on Color OS that is shipped with the Chinese model since you can install the Google play store and Google wallet. Only android auto won't work without flashing oxygen OS.
Will the 24gb ram and 1Tb storage be available in the global version next year?
not from Oneplus but the global ROM flash will work

So apart from android auto . You can use everything else. Google wallet etc ?
The global rim will work on this phone
So everything will work
Possibe but not a guarantee. The Chinese variant limits Google services and apps in order to prioritize OnePlus's own chinese spyware/bloatware.
Thanks for this initial impressions/review, but it's sadly a deal-breaker for me that it doens't support Android Auto.
