OnePlus CPH2655

The OnePlus 13 has the best battery life we've ever recorded, sitting at the 100th percentile with a 6000mAh cell and 80W charging. Performance is nearly as impressive at the 98th percentile thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite and 16GB of RAM. The camera is solid but not class-leading, and the $1,000 USD price tag stings, but owners rate it 4.8 stars for a reason.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is a monster, and the 16GB of RAM means this phone doesn't flinch at anything. Our performance score puts it at the 98th percentile, which translates to 'one of the fastest phones you can buy right now.' Gaming score hits 94.7 out of 100, so if you're into Genshin or Call of Duty Mobile, this thing chews through frames without breaking a sweat. The 120Hz display keeps everything buttery smooth, though some users note the phone lowers render resolution in games to maintain that fluidity.

Day-to-day, OxygenOS 15 feels clean and responsive. App launches are instant, multitasking is effortless, and the 512GB of storage means you won't be deleting photos anytime soon. The only real complaint from owners is occasional software bugs around battery optimization, but those are minor annoyances, not dealbreakers.

Against the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, the OnePlus 13 trades blows on performance and battery but loses on camera versatility and feature set. The S26 Ultra has a more refined zoom system and better low-light processing, while the OnePlus counters with faster charging and a cleaner OS. The Google Pixel 10 Pro beats the OnePlus on camera quality, especially in tricky lighting, but can't touch the 6000mAh battery or 80W charging speeds. The Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 is a different beast entirely, folding for portability but sacrificing battery and raw power. And the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has a superior camera system but costs significantly more. For pure speed and endurance per dollar, the OnePlus 13 is hard to beat.

At $1,000 USD, the OnePlus 13 is not cheap. The affordability score sits at the 22nd percentile, which means most phones in our database cost less. But here's the thing: you're getting a 100th percentile battery, 98th percentile performance, and a 96th percentile camera. That's flagship territory at a price that undercuts the Galaxy S26 Ultra and iPhone 17 by a meaningful margin. The CAD 1,400 listing in Canada tells the same story. If you want top-tier specs without paying top-tier prices, this is one of the better deals out there. Just don't expect budget phone pricing.

The OnePlus 13 CPH2655 lands with a battery score that sits at the 100th percentile in our database. That's not a typo. The 6000mAh cell paired with 80W wired charging means this thing outlasts and out-charges basically everything else we've tested. Performance isn't far behind at the 98th percentile, and the camera holds its own at 96th. For $1,000 USD, you're getting flagship specs that embarrass phones costing hundreds more.

But the numbers tell a more nuanced story. Feature score sits at a mediocre 42nd percentile, and affordability is a rough 22nd. The camera, while solid, isn't the class leader some hoped for. Still, with a 4.8-star rating across 456 reviews and a 99th percentile social proof score, owners are clearly happy. This is a phone that nails the fundamentals and asks you to forgive a few quirks.

If you're a photography enthusiast who demands the absolute best camera, look elsewhere. The 96th percentile camera score is strong, but owners consistently note it falls short of the Pixel 10 Pro and Xiaomi 14 Ultra in low light. The feature score at 42nd percentile also means you're missing some extras that Samsung and Google include. And if you're on a tighter budget, the 22nd percentile affordability score means this phone costs more than most alternatives. The slippery build without a case is another real annoyance, especially for a phone this size.

The OnePlus 13 is a battery and performance champion that stumbles slightly on camera and features. With a 100th percentile battery score and 98th percentile performance, it's one of the best phones we've tested for raw speed and endurance. The 4.8-star owner rating backs that up. If you can live with a camera that's merely 'very good' rather than 'best in class,' and you don't mind the slippery build, this is an easy recommendation. At $1,000 USD, it's a flagship killer that actually delivers on the promise.
