OnePlus 13R - (US)

The OnePlus 13R is the “why spend more when I don’t need to” pick. After using it, I think it holds its own really well—battery life is excellent, performance is more than enough for most people, and the flat display is actually a big win if you use glass screen protectors. The main compromise you’ll notice is the camera, especially if you care about versatility and video features.

Pros

+Flat display is more practical for glass screen protectors
+Excellent battery life with a 6,000 mAh battery
+Last-gen flagship chip is still plenty fast for years
+Matte side rails hide fingerprints well

Cons

-No wireless charging or reverse wireless charging
-Can’t be submerged in water like the OnePlus 13
-Camera is a step down with fewer features (no action mode, no macro)
-Optical fingerprint scanner can be annoying at night and won’t work well with wet hands
