    This phone is really good and impressive. I just downgrade from Samsung S24 ultra and I thought I made a wrong thing. But actually the phone performance and battery is really nice and impressive. Even it doesn't have wireless charging like one plus 13 pro, it will be good choice for the guys who want to get price and performance phone.

    The Best Android Phone

    This phone has everything you could ask for. It has a superb bright screen, excellent performance, an incredible battery and great camera. It also has flat edges, the curved edges on the 12R are just awful. The bright screen alone makes it the best phone you can get for the money. The battery is also insane.

    This is a great phone. Very easy to use. The camera is fantastic, and when recording videos the sound quality comes through awesome when you play it back. I'm very happy with this phone and the quality customer service that I experienced at Best buy purchasing it. One of my favorite parts of this phone is the charger that's included it's like warp speed so it doesn't take long to charge to 100%. Can't recommend this phone enough.

    I've been a loyal Motorola customer for a long time. To me, they've always had some of the best budget phones out there, especially for mid-range. Honestly, the gesture controls kept me hooked. I started with the G-power series and then moved on to the Edge. When my Edge 23 started giving me problems charging, I knew it was time for a new phone. Enter the OnePlus 13r. This is by far the Best phone I've ever had the pleasure of owning. Although it's similar in size to the Edge, it feels completely different. It's easier to hold, and has a much better display. The 12g ram absolutely blows Motorola's 8g away. This phone is blazing fast. The camera is more than enough for my daily needs, and the AI enhancements to the photos are amazing. But what I really can't get over is how insanely good the battery life is! Don't get me wrong, Motorolas have excellent battery life, especially the Edge, but this battery is next level. My Edge would last the entire day without a charge unless I was gaming, which is pretty good by any measure. The OnePlus 13r? This bad boy lasts all day and half the next day! Even If I'm gaming for an hour or two it will still be at at least 30% at the end of the day! I will say the 55W charging isn't quite as fast as my Edge was, but it's still really fast. The software is very similar to Motorola so using the phone was easy although I did look through the various options because there are so many on this thing! If they added "twist your wrist" to open the camera and "chop chop" for the flashlight this phone would be Perfect! OnePlus you have yourself a new customer.

    OnePlus 13R

    I've had this phone for two weeks. The phone was on sale and I didn't want to spend a ton of money for flagship. I was not impressed with the battery life of the pixels and galaxy phones. It was a toss up between this phone and a pixel 8a. I have used them in the past and I REALLY hate that google bar that you can't get rid of. I also really don't care for google. I'll admit, I went through and turned of a ton of "not needed" settings, apps, and privacy stuff. That's not just this phone but everyone out there. First, the battery life is absolutely awesome. I'm an average user and do 2-4 hours of screen time and hard use depending on the day. The first charge lasted me just over 5 days. Brightness is set to basic settings (no adaptive stuff) and about 45%. I find that to be sufficient day and night. I don't believe in fast chargers. I want longevity over anything else especially since I run stuff until they don't work anymore. I slow charge it, it takes forever, but I'm okay with that. The phone is quite snappy. It takes like 30 seconds to boot from off or reboot in general. There's no stuttering or sluggishness. It can keep up. I really like the insane amount of customization that can be done with with this phone. Menu's can be hard to find buried settings and things to customize but it's fun seeing what I can and can't change on here. WiFi is pretty fast. I think it's WiFi 6. Even the cellular data is fast with all the bands it has. I am on ATT and I don't have any connection drops. Lastly, I gave the camera a 4 out of 5. The specs aren't as good as the new Samsung galaxy and google pixel phones. However, at this price point I will say that it takes some really good quality pictures and videos. I am more than happy with it. I think the average user would be too. I highly recommend and would buy again.

    Good Midrange Phone

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Overall I love the phone. At a midrange price point, you get: Previous model year's top end CPU High quality 6.7" display Great cameras (picture quality is subjective) Great connectivity (at least on T-Mobile) 256GB on onboard storage 12GB RAM Super fast charging and all day battery With a midrange phone, there are always compromises. There's no expandable storage slot. There's no wireless charging. Overall, this was the best midrange phone for my use case. As a somewhat obscure phone on the US market, there are very few options for screen protectors and phone cases. This is the only thing that prevents me from giving it a full 5 stars.

    What a phone. I came from a Galaxy 24 ultra and I am not disappointed. I have always liked OneOlus and was waiting for the this style of phone. Phone is a great size for seeing YouTube or watching movies. 13r has great battery it last pretty much all day for me. By the end of the night I'm still at about 25 percent battery left. Also one of the few phones that actually come with a charger in the box, and it's a fast charger as well. Great camera takes really good pictures very clear with lots of colors. Speakers sound loud and clear. I work outside so the screen gets pretty bright no trouble seeing what's on the screen in direct sunlight. Overall I'm very happy and satisfied with my new OnePlus 13R.

    Probably the best value for mid-range Android phones. Probably the only negatives are lack of wireless charging and full IP68/9 rating. But otherwise you're getting a solid camera, great display, major performance, and a massive 6000mAh battery to last you all day. I picked it on sale for under $500 to be my backup for my Pixel 9 Pro XL that needed a broken screen replaced but kinda having a hard time going back to the Pixel.

    Highly satisfied so far. Long battery life, fast processing , V good Display quality makes 13R standout as a reliable device and value for money ! Definitely deserves a higher rating !! Yet to try camera for different types of situations. So neutral on photography review for now. Only thing I would have liked is the wireless charging !

    I love the camera system on here (50MP Wide + 50MP Telephoto + 8MP Ultrawide). The photo processing is very crisp under the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which gives exceptional performance when it comes to gaming. I there are four power modes ranging from mobility to performance. Using the least power setting, this device pumps out 20 hours of non-stop usage. Using the most power setting, this device pumps out 12 hours of non-stop usage. The speaker quality could be better, but compromises must be made. The selfie camera is very responsive to facial recognition prompts and provides adequate quality for photos. I love the big screen size and crisp display that the phone possesses. The 3-in-1 mute slider is a fantastic feature. Overall, this is a solid device!!!

    So far so good I had the 11 5g to the 13R and I love it so far the sleek new look larger screen more memory. And the charging is so fast. Also my battery life I barely charge this phone maybe for a few minutes a day of that. For the features and specs this phone has at the cost is 100% worth it over going with a brand like apple or Samsung because you will get less for more.
