Introduction 

The OnePlus 13R is a direct successor to the OnePlus 12R from last year, and it's a toned-down version of the flagship, the OnePlus 13. It retains certain high-end features while cutting a few corners, and as a result, it comes with a more palatable price tag.

As is usually the case, the 13R adopts the previous top-end chipset from Qualcomm - the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. There's no change in the display department, with the device offering a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED panel.

The camera hardware gets a slight bump, though. The OnePlus 13R now has three usable cameras, adding a 2x zoom 50MP shooter in addition to the 50MP main unit and 8MP ultrawide one.

There's also a notable upgrade in the battery tech. It's now a silicon-carbon battery with a 6,000 mAh capacity. This alone should boost the 13R's battery life even more. The 12R had excellent battery endurance anyway.
