Two months ago, I walked along with a friend of the Apple store while shopping for a new iPhone. As we left, several workers wanted congratulations. Which amused us. I mean, it’s not like I’m having a baby, graduating from college, or achieving any other milestone in life. You just bought a phone.
Still, I sense the sentiment because it’s a beloved luxury purchase. It may not be to the extent of buying a new car, however, there is something satisfying about keeping and coveting a new phone. And I’ve been reminded of the last two of the last two of Weeks as they look at the new OnePlus Thirteen smartphone running on Android’s OxyGenos 15 platform.
It’s elegant. The bright 6.82-inch display – which officials called “the best screen on the market” during a media presentation – displays at up to 4,500 nits, which means it’s so bright you can easily see it under sunny daytime skies. Plus it offers a fast 120Hz refresh rate. The glass has a ceramic guard layer over the screen that resists fractures. I can attest to its strength, as I accidentally dropped the phone on the floor and suffered no repercussions. Plus the quad-curve glass has a flat screen, but curved edges and corners. But what I really noticed and liked was the backing that feels nice and soft while resisting fingerprints. The unit OnePlus sent me to test is the blue version, which is made of a special microfiber vegan leather.
One of my other favorite touches to this phone is the ring silencer physical toggle on the left side. Inside, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip processor is lightning fast. As expected, I had no hiccups watching videos, surfing the web or playing games. The 13 also has a high-end Hassleblad camera in the rear with a Sony top-end sensor. In fact, all of the cameras on this phone have huge 50MP lenses. There’s also a 3x tri-prism telephoto lens and an ultrawide lens, as well. Within the camera app, you can choose from various scenarios such as action mode that freezes movement, which is great for taking sports shots of your kids’ games. Burst mode captures short and long exposures simultaneously, for clarity. There are also stage, silhouette and fireworks modes. I found that the portrait mode works exceptionally well, as does the video that features Dolby vision.
Speaking of images, you can access each photo you take later and use the characteristics of the AI, such as retail impulse, erase, the unlock symbol and the reflected symbol, to the symbolly honestly, this last characteristic would have been useful for me when It would have been useful when I would have been useful when taking Bevery One photos through a truck window a few weeks ago.
All thirteen also have an IP69 rating, which means it can cater for top tension and temperatures up to 176 degrees F. So you can theoretically submerge it in a pool, put it in a dishwasher in sanitize mode, leave it in the washing machine, or put it in a pan up to 176 degrees and use it usually afterwards.
Watching the 13 charge is captivating. You seriously just plug in the charging cable and it informs you that fast charging mode is active. And then you watch your battery percentage increase quickly before your eyes. In just 36 minutes, it charges from empty to full with the included 80W SuperVOOC charger. But if you buy the optional 100W charger separately, it will charge even faster. The phone also charges wirelessly, albeit slower with a 50W. The new battery is higher density, slimmer, lighter and has a higher capacity than the battery in previous models.
Thirteen are sold for $ 900 (256 GB) or $ 1,000 (512 GB). But I was inspired by the Threiteenr edition for the budget that is sold to only $ 600. Some of the characteristics of the thirteen, such as great support, curved edges and ceramic screen coating. Instead, it has a 6. 78 -inch Scratch -resistant glass screen. Its rear camera is 50 MP with a 2x telephoto lens, however, the front lens is 8 MP that can pass to the Ultra Grande and use a correct light sensor.
Both phones work with every 5G carrier and MVNO in the country. And if you’re lucky enough to buy one, may I be the most-recent to wish you congratulations.
