Hi there!
I’m looking for people’s experiences using a OnePlus 13 or 13R. I’m particularly interested in how it compares to recent Samsung devices, because I think Samsung One UI currently offers the best UX on Android. To a lesser degree, I’m also interested in how it compares to an iPhone.
I’m not interested in games performance. I care about reliability first and foremost, then about battery life. Camera performance and smoothness come later.
If you’ve used a OnePlus 13/13R and a recent Samsung or iPhone, please leave me your comments. I’m interested to know your experience, no matter which of these phones you prefer at the end of the day.
Thanks a lot!
When I mentioned that the Samsung operating system was more robust, I was just referring to the last four phones that were Samsung for me and, like you mentioned in another comment, rock solid. Right now my OnePlus 13 is the first OnePlus phone I’ve owned.
Having said that, I’ve had way more glitches on a Samsung phone. Obviously I’ve owned Samsung phones for the last 10 years.
Yesterday the only glitch that I’ve ever seen happened on my OP, but it wasn’t big. I just couldn’t get on the internet because my VPN wasn’t recognized. It did require me to restart my phone; the settings weren’t recognized for some reason, but everything was up and working perfectly afterward.
The Samsung Galaxy has a very fleshed-out operating system with a lot of proprietary apps and add-ons that can be quite overwhelming.
My OnePlus is fairly bare-bones, to be honest, and I have it configured this way. I like the operating system, although I have modified some settings to have it perform much like I remember my Galaxy, just because of what I’m used to.
