99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hey! The OnePlus 13R
has arrived.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's been released together
with the OnePlus 13

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and Digital Walker 
had a preselling for this phone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What are the specs of this?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's just a one generation older
flagship chip of Qualcomm.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
50MP triple camera lens,
except that it doesn't have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Hasselblad
color calibration.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its battery is big at 6,000mAh.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And with how thin this box is,
expect that there'll be

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
no charger.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
More details and price
after this quick intro.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(introduction music)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The OnePlus 13R with 12GB of RAM
and 256GB of storage,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its regular price would be
Php38,990.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And right now, it's on sale, 
the same with

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the early bird price
at Php35,990.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can buy this
in Digital Walker

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and on the link
on the description box

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that I'll post below.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now one thing I noticed 
in it is that this phone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is very rectangle-like.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its sides are kind of edgy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But one thing I liked about it
is the aluminum frame

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
feeling very premium on the sides.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This one is being protected
by a glass back finish

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and a Corning Gorilla Glass 7i
protection in front.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What's nice on the camera bump
is that every single ring

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
isn't protruding,
and its back being very flat.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its camera bump
is also not thick.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One thing that's maybe
important to you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that it has an eSIM support.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this phone comes running
with OxygenOS 15

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
inside Android 15.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like I told you,
this one is being powered

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by the Qualcomm 
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's just one generation older
premium flagship of Qualcomm.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it's got 1.81 million points.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is the breakdown.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Still goods.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its loop score is 4,387.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it has 77.8% stability
on Wild Life Extreme.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this is the score
that I got on CPU benchmarking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this is 
on the GPU benchmarking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its thermals are kind of messy
and it throttled to 73%

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of its best performance.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One of the things
that you'll like here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is its big battery.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is a silicon carbon
6,000mAh which can support

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up to 80W fast charging.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sad to say,
there's no charger.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But based on my testing,
its battery is more durable

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
then the OnePlus 13.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On the OnePlus 13R,
we got 21 hours

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and 27 minutes of screen-on time
based on 50% brightness

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and 60Hz of screen refresh rate.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's now talk about its display.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This one has a 6.78-inch
LTPO AMOLED display.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has 120Hz
of screen refresh rate

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and its maximum brightness
is 4,500 nits.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its screen-to-body ratio
is 92%.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it also has 
Ultra HDR Image support.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One thing that you'll like here
is its great display.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Probably one of the better ones 
that I've tried

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on this price range.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And browsing 
your favorite photos on gallery,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
swiping on shorts and reels,
expect it to give you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a really smooth experience.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And if you're watching videos
on this phone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on YouTube and Netflix,
because it has a Level 1

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Widevine Security Level,
expect a really good quality

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on this phone
because the colors are punchy

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you're definitely set
to enjoy this one.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This phone has stereo speakers,
two holes on the bottom

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and one hole on the top.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's just quickly check
how loud its sounds are.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(APT by Bruno Mars and Rosé)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its sounds are loud,
it's just that it's not

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as loud as the OnePlus 13.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So we've played three games here,
Genshin Impact,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Farlight 84,
and Call of Duty Mobile.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On Genshin Impact,
my game experience was good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I expected it from a Qualcomm
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was really set to perform
in games.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And like triple A games
like Genshin Impact,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its gameplay is good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One thing I liked about it
is that its gameplay was smooth,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you won't feel much lags,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
except if you're 
in a heavy battle,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
there are just very,
very minor frame drops.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But sometimes you won't
almost notice it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
during an intense gameplay.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But one thing's for sure here
is that the screen

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of the OnePlus 13R
is very responsive

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the sound is quite decent.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And playing after 30 minutes,
the hottest I've achieved

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was 44°C.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When it comes to Farlight 84,
equally said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its gameplay was also good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We set it to the highest 
graphic settings possible

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I was able to get
a really nice experience here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The gameplay was smooth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And honestly,
I didn't feel that much

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
frame drops on it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Playing after 30 minutes,
the hottest it reached

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was 42°C.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Call of Duty Mobile,
we also set it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to the max graphic settings.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I've also played
30 minutes of battle royale here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The gameplay was really smooth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I didn't feel 
any frame drops on it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is very easy
for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One thing I noticed with it
is that the sounds

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are not as loud
as the OnePlus 13.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the hottest I reached here
after 30 minutes of gameplay

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was 42°C.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you found the sound
of this phone kind of lacking,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can suggest you try
one of this,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the OnePlus Nord Buds 3.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was able to give me
a good gaming experience here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The sound quality of this
is definitely good

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and its design is great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What I like about here
is it connects fast

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on the OnePlus 13.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Once you open it,
it can detect it already,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just simply press 
the connect button

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it'll be connected.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One thing that I like here
is it's super light to my ears,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's not heavy,
and it can give me roughly

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up to 16 hours
of playback time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The price of this one
is Php1,790

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at any Digital Walker
online and offline stores.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Check on the description box.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's now talk about the camera.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This one has a 50MP
main camera sensor with OIS,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
50MP telephoto lens
with 2x optical zoom,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and 8MP ultra wide lens
up to 112° FoV.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has color spectrum sensor
and can shoot you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up to 4K and 60 FPS.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its front-facing camera
is 16MP which can only shoot you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up to 1080p and 30 FPS.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's start our camera analysis
with some outdoor shot

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you'd see that some
of these shots on outdoors,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the details of the clouds
even on simple shots look great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And when you look
at this scenery,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it looks very cool to the eyes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is another shot
that I really like.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its colors look beautiful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The color science 
on the camera of the OnePlus 13R

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
looks really nice,
and I simply love this shot.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're a fan 
of animal shots,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to take a shot like this one,
it's just a quick snap,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you can see that all the details
of this cat are preserved,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even its whiskers.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it's truly one of the camera
that you'd want to buy

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at this price point.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And taking some 
Chinese New Year lantern shot

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like this is looking really nice
and the details captured here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are really good and blurring
all the way to the background.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now one of the things I noticed
on this green is that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's not oversaturated,
and it looks quite natural.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its color not enhanced too much,
making it look

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
really natural.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this is another shot
that I really like.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its focusing on this subject
looks really great

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and blurring all the way
to the background.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How the subject pops out
in this subject is really great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Equally said on this photo,
its focus on the subject

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
looks great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're taking some greens here,
I can tell you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that it's not that saturated,
just really the natural look

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of color green.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is another shot 
that I also like.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It looks very nice
and it looks like you're just

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in a farm.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And when I played
with its ultra wide lens,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is how it looks like.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Normal shot and 2x zoom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You'll notice that the color science
is almost similar

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from the ultra wide
to the normal shot.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But when it comes to 2x zoom,
its color looks gloomier,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its approach is a bit grayish.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You'll see that in the glass,
it's color blue here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and on this one
it's darker blue or faded blue.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what it looks like
if you're taking a flower shot.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The details that it captures
are clean.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're going indoors
taking some statue shots,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it looks really nice.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its shot looks really great,
these figures look very sharp.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And if you're taking a food shot,
equally said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
OnePlus 13R also performs well.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We can see some
of these food shots

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that we got are really,
really sharp,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the details looks really nice.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the way it was able
to focus on food,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I really simply love it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now, I also tried
its front-facing camera

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on outdoors and it would
take you some really nice details

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on your face, 
and it doesn't beautify

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on default 
which is definitely okay.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You'll get a different result
on the same spot.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is my face is against the sun

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and this is when the camera
is against the sun.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You'll see that it's kind
of overexposed

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when the camera
is against the sun.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But the shot looks great
when your face

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is against the sun.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When it comes to indoors,
honestly I was surprised

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that these photos 
were captured really nicely.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And when zooming in
on my face,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you'll see that it's similar
to my outdoor shots,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's clear, and the imperfections
on my face are visible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're using
the front-facing camera

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to take a simple vlog,
well, it's okay,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the resolution looks great,
except that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's a little jittery.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's not too much.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But its rear camera
is a performer

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because it's very smooth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm just using my bare hand
on this shot,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you'll see the details
that you'll get on this video

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
looks great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is just a 13R,
there's no Hasselblad here yet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So guys, what's my verdict
on the OnePlus 13R?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Honestly, it's probably not
the cheapest that you can buy

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from OnePlus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One thing I noticed here
is that it's really powerful,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And probably one thing
that let me down here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is its front-facing camera
which can only shoot you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up to 1080p and 30 FPS.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Given the fact that
it's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was quite disappointed
with its front-facing camera.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But overall, 
the performance is good,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
except its front-facing camera.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If they made this 4K and 30 FPS,
no questions asked,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's definitely a good buy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I would say its performance
is definitely way,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
way better than 
the OPPO Reno 13 Pro.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How about you guys,
what can you say

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
