Midrange
EDITORIAL: Top of Oppo's midrange Reno line, 13 Pro comes with a slightly better chip, a bigger battery and full water proofing but loses the SD memory expansion shoot that made Reno midrangers stand out as true value in the phone market.
PROs
aluminum and glass build, good Dimensity 8350 with UFS 3.1 performance, >30hr endurance from a 5800mAh battery with sub-50min 80W (China gets 50W wireless too) charging, 1100nits 450ppi AMOLED screen with HDR10+, IP69 (down to 2m for 30min) water protection, good pics from a 50MP 24mm main + 50MP 85mm telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + 8MP 15mm ultrawide setup, very good 50MP 21mm selfie with AF
CONs
almost 2mm wider and 15g heavier then Reno 12 Pro, no AF on ultrawide, mediocre video recording, the SD memory is gone, less then 4 years of OS updates, no desktop replacement functionality and a slow USB-C 2.0 port (with OTG)
Apple iPhone 17e

EDITORIAL: Apple used to update it's basic (SE) iPhones every few years but the last year's 16e got it's upgrade just a year later. We will see if this is a beginning of a yearly update cycle - it would make sense if this very modestly equipped $600 phone sells well. 17e comes with a very fast A19 processor and it does great in benchmarks, beating all iPhone 16 models, including 16 Pro Max. It also features the latest iOS version and comes with double the memory for the same price as 16e but this is where the excellence runs out. The rest of the phone is very elementary - same small battery, less-then-a-day endurance, 60Hz Retina display, reliable single lens cameras front and back. This is your cheapest ticket into iPhone world but the plain 17 model is a much better option...
PROs
good build, compact and elegant, very fast A19 (with NVMe memory) performance, IP68 protection, reliable (if very basic) 48MP 26mm OIS PDAF back camera, reliable 12MP 23mm PDAF selfie, average video recording, up to 5 years of OS updates, universally available
CONs
dated design, zero innovation, barely 1 day endurance from a 4000mAh Lithium battery with 25W (15W wireless) charging needs 90min to full, 460ppi Retina OLED screen with HDR10+ only <900nits of brightness and just 60Hz refresh rate, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality, USB-C 2.0 port, modest AI features compared to Android competition
