EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-release and pre-test listing based on reasonable expectations of battery endurance and camera performance) This year, OnePlus joins other Chinese makers in adding a mini-flagship. The 13s could be a bulls eye with top processing and battery endurance, very good screen, AF selfie and 4 years of OS updates. Tests should confirm the charging speed (sub-60min expected) and the main + tele lens performance. Unfortunately, this phone is only IP65 (can't be submerged) and the awesome hardware ring-slider is now replaced with a programmable button.
PROs
great build, great SD 8 Elite with UFS4.0 performance, a full day endurance from a 5850mAh Li-Ion battery with sub-60min fast 80W wired charging (no wireless), ~1200nits 460ppi 120Hz LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, reliable OIS 50MP main + 50MP tele (both PDAF) back camera, great 32MP selfie with AF, 4 years of OS updates
CONs
flat back-front-and-sides design, lack of wireless charging, just IP65 (splash-resistant) protection, a lack of expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality
