A good Phone with good specs .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing

Sometimes it too much heat

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, but lacks in camera department!
*by A***A on 27 October 2025*

This phone is literally the smoothest phone I have used till now. It is ultra smooth, opens apps instantly, without delay. I was not expecting much, coming from a SD870-powered device, but the way this phone surprised me is amazing. I did experience some stutters in the launcher initially, but there were updates available, as soon as I updated, it was fixed. The battery backup have been quite great too. The phone size is pretty small due to amazingly thin bezels. It makes the phone size much smaller than my previous phone with smaller screen size. The build quality also feels very premium. It feels just great in hand. The other stuffs like speakers, microphones, display, fingerprint sensor, etc. are perfectly great as well. Camera, however, isn't as good. Yes, you'll see people coming out on road with wooden fire torch in their hands saying the camera is great. Well, it some cases, it is, but in the other, it is not. Honestly, even mid range phones these days are able to take excellent shots, however, how often and how easy it is to take those shots varies. It is much easier to take a great shot with a super expensive phone compared to a mid-range phone. That thing is where 13R lacks. You can take some of the most marvellous photos with its camera, however, they are not very consistent. Even varies from telephoto to Ultra wide. The HDR goes haywire in some shots, while in some, it is like taken from an ultra-expensive DSLR. Video recording is average. And honestly, it is average on most Android phones except Samsung flagships. I would recommend S24FE in this range if you're into video recording. It is supposedly also better in camera, though, I prefer 13R's camera over S24FE. Just video recording is far better on S24FE, especially in low light. Video recording is pretty bad if you compare it to flagships, but then again, its elder brother, OnePlus 13, is also poor in it, so can't expect much from the younger one, can we? Overall, I already expected the camera to be bad, but it turned out to be pretty good. I would not call the camera bad, but it is not great either. The main thing is, for day-to-day usage, this is an excellent smartphone. The smoothest I have ever used. You might even find iPhones not-so smooth when you compare 13R or the regular 13 with them. I hated when Oxygen OS was discontinued and we started getting the skinned-up (it is not even skinned up anymore) ColorOS, but now I am glad that Oppo and OnePlus have done a great job in optimizing ColorOS. Not sure if the whole ColorOS is this smooth, or it is just OnePlus team's optimization, but it is well done. Considering what I have seen in the reviews, I am extremely excited for the OxygenOS 16 update. Good job OnePlus, but please do better job on the cameras.
