1 00:00:00,054 --> 00:00:02,620 Hey! The OnePlus 13R has arrived. 2 00:00:02,620 --> 00:00:04,553 It's been released together with the OnePlus 13 3 00:00:04,553 --> 00:00:07,771 and Digital Walker had a preselling for this phone. 4 00:00:07,771 --> 00:00:09,099 What are the specs of this? 5 00:00:09,099 --> 00:00:11,037 Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. 6 00:00:11,037 --> 00:00:14,056 It's just a one generation older flagship chip of Qualcomm. 7 00:00:14,056 --> 00:00:16,322 50MP triple camera lens, except that it doesn't have 8 00:00:16,322 --> 00:00:18,588 the Hasselblad color calibration. 9 00:00:18,588 --> 00:00:21,329 Its battery is big at 6,000mAh. 10 00:00:21,329 --> 00:00:23,659 And with how thin this box is, expect that there'll be 11 00:00:23,659 --> 00:00:24,582 no charger. 12 00:00:24,582 --> 00:00:26,749 More details and price after this quick intro. 13 00:00:26,749 --> 00:00:29,562 (introduction music) 14 00:01:08,377 --> 00:01:12,801 The OnePlus 13R with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, 15 00:01:12,801 --> 00:01:16,244 its regular price would be Php38,990. 16 00:01:16,244 --> 00:01:18,146 And right now, it's on sale, the same with 17 00:01:18,146 --> 00:01:21,140 the early bird price at Php35,990. 18 00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:22,921 You can buy this in Digital Walker 19 00:01:22,921 --> 00:01:24,395 and on the link on the description box 20 00:01:24,395 --> 00:01:25,552 that I'll post below. 21 00:01:27,332 --> 00:01:29,728 Now one thing I noticed in it is that this phone 22 00:01:29,728 --> 00:01:33,127 is very rectangle-like. 23 00:01:33,139 --> 00:01:36,436 Its sides are kind of edgy. 24 00:01:36,436 --> 00:01:39,666 But one thing I liked about it is the aluminum frame 25 00:01:39,666 --> 00:01:41,999 feeling very premium on the sides. 26 00:01:41,999 --> 00:01:44,628 This one is being protected by a glass back finish 27 00:01:44,628 --> 00:01:47,761 and a Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection in front. 28 00:01:47,761 --> 00:01:50,318 What's nice on the camera bump is that every single ring 29 00:01:50,318 --> 00:01:53,262 isn't protruding, and its back being very flat. 30 00:01:53,262 --> 00:01:55,190 Its camera bump is also not thick. 31 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:56,966 One thing that's maybe important to you 32 00:01:56,966 --> 00:01:58,056 is that it has an eSIM support. 33 00:01:58,056 --> 00:02:00,511 And this phone comes running with OxygenOS 15 34 00:02:00,511 --> 00:02:02,335 inside Android 15. 35 00:02:04,315 --> 00:02:05,990 Like I told you, this one is being powered 36 00:02:05,992 --> 00:02:07,916 by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 37 00:02:07,916 --> 00:02:11,304 it's just one generation older premium flagship of Qualcomm. 38 00:02:11,304 --> 00:02:13,528 And it's got 1.81 million points. 39 00:02:13,828 --> 00:02:14,951 This is the breakdown. 40 00:02:14,956 --> 00:02:15,805 Still goods. 41 00:02:15,805 --> 00:02:17,780 Its loop score is 4,387. 42 00:02:17,780 --> 00:02:21,854 And it has 77.8% stability on Wild Life Extreme. 43 00:02:21,854 --> 00:02:24,139 And this is the score that I got on CPU benchmarking. 44 00:02:24,139 --> 00:02:26,513 And this is on the GPU benchmarking. 45 00:02:26,725 --> 00:02:29,322 Its thermals are kind of messy and it throttled to 73% 46 00:02:29,322 --> 00:02:30,698 of its best performance. 47 00:02:33,088 --> 00:02:34,634 One of the things that you'll like here 48 00:02:34,652 --> 00:02:35,913 is its big battery. 49 00:02:35,928 --> 00:02:39,857 It is a silicon carbon 6,000mAh which can support 50 00:02:39,857 --> 00:02:42,167 up to 80W fast charging. 51 00:02:42,167 --> 00:02:43,709 Sad to say, there's no charger. 52 00:02:43,709 --> 00:02:46,047 But based on my testing, its battery is more durable 53 00:02:46,047 --> 00:02:47,818 then the OnePlus 13. 54 00:02:47,818 --> 00:02:50,247 On the OnePlus 13R, we got 21 hours 55 00:02:50,247 --> 00:02:53,897 and 27 minutes of screen-on time based on 50% brightness 56 00:02:53,897 --> 00:02:55,781 and 60Hz of screen refresh rate. 57 00:02:57,714 --> 00:02:59,613 Let's now talk about its display. 58 00:02:59,617 --> 00:03:03,395 This one has a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display. 59 00:03:03,395 --> 00:03:04,995 It has 120Hz of screen refresh rate 60 00:03:04,995 --> 00:03:07,783 and its maximum brightness is 4,500 nits. 61 00:03:07,783 --> 00:03:09,886 Its screen-to-body ratio is 92%. 62 00:03:09,886 --> 00:03:12,329 And it also has Ultra HDR Image support. 63 00:03:12,329 --> 00:03:15,201 One thing that you'll like here is its great display. 64 00:03:15,201 --> 00:03:17,978 Probably one of the better ones that I've tried 65 00:03:17,978 --> 00:03:19,092 on this price range. 66 00:03:19,092 --> 00:03:22,475 And browsing your favorite photos on gallery, 67 00:03:22,475 --> 00:03:25,965 swiping on shorts and reels, expect it to give you 68 00:03:25,965 --> 00:03:27,431 a really smooth experience. 69 00:03:27,431 --> 00:03:30,154 And if you're watching videos on this phone 70 00:03:30,154 --> 00:03:32,378 on YouTube and Netflix, because it has a Level 1 71 00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:35,723 Widevine Security Level, expect a really good quality 72 00:03:35,723 --> 00:03:38,722 on this phone because the colors are punchy 73 00:03:38,722 --> 00:03:40,940 and you're definitely set to enjoy this one. 74 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,623 This phone has stereo speakers, two holes on the bottom 75 00:03:45,632 --> 00:03:46,799 and one hole on the top. 76 00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:49,247 Let's just quickly check how loud its sounds are. 77 00:03:49,393 --> 00:03:51,705 (APT by Bruno Mars and Rosé) 78 00:03:54,594 --> 00:03:56,987 Its sounds are loud, it's just that it's not 79 00:03:56,987 --> 00:03:59,521 as loud as the OnePlus 13. 80 00:04:01,551 --> 00:04:03,996 So we've played three games here, Genshin Impact, 81 00:04:04,010 --> 00:04:05,948 Farlight 84, and Call of Duty Mobile. 82 00:04:05,948 --> 00:04:09,269 On Genshin Impact, my game experience was good. 83 00:04:09,269 --> 00:04:12,365 I expected it from a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. 84 00:04:12,365 --> 00:04:14,596 It was really set to perform in games. 85 00:04:14,596 --> 00:04:17,207 And like triple A games like Genshin Impact, 86 00:04:17,207 --> 00:04:18,842 its gameplay is good. 87 00:04:18,842 --> 00:04:21,978 One thing I liked about it is that its gameplay was smooth, 88 00:04:21,978 --> 00:04:23,480 you won't feel much lags, 89 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,432 except if you're in a heavy battle, 90 00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:27,988 there are just very, very minor frame drops. 91 00:04:27,988 --> 00:04:30,494 But sometimes you won't almost notice it 92 00:04:30,494 --> 00:04:32,123 during an intense gameplay. 93 00:04:32,123 --> 00:04:34,864 But one thing's for sure here is that the screen 94 00:04:34,864 --> 00:04:36,816 of the OnePlus 13R is very responsive 95 00:04:36,816 --> 00:04:39,290 and the sound is quite decent. 96 00:04:39,290 --> 00:04:41,253 And playing after 30 minutes, the hottest I've achieved 97 00:04:41,253 --> 00:04:42,738 was 44°C. 98 00:04:42,738 --> 00:04:44,911 When it comes to Farlight 84, equally said, 99 00:04:44,911 --> 00:04:46,305 its gameplay was also good. 100 00:04:46,305 --> 00:04:48,849 We set it to the highest graphic settings possible 101 00:04:48,849 --> 00:04:51,315 and I was able to get a really nice experience here. 102 00:04:51,315 --> 00:04:52,800 The gameplay was smooth. 103 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,185 And honestly, I didn't feel that much 104 00:04:54,185 --> 00:04:55,368 frame drops on it. 105 00:04:55,368 --> 00:04:57,694 Playing after 30 minutes, the hottest it reached 106 00:04:57,694 --> 00:04:58,754 was 42°C. 107 00:04:58,754 --> 00:05:00,191 Call of Duty Mobile, we also set it 108 00:05:00,191 --> 00:05:02,512 to the max graphic settings. 109 00:05:02,512 --> 00:05:06,017 And I've also played 30 minutes of battle royale here. 110 00:05:06,017 --> 00:05:08,077 The gameplay was really smooth. 111 00:05:08,077 --> 00:05:09,639 I didn't feel any frame drops on it. 112 00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:13,192 This is very easy for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. 113 00:05:13,192 --> 00:05:16,864 One thing I noticed with it is that the sounds 114 00:05:16,864 --> 00:05:20,213 are not as loud as the OnePlus 13. 115 00:05:20,401 --> 00:05:23,580 And the hottest I reached here after 30 minutes of gameplay 116 00:05:23,580 --> 00:05:24,900 was 42°C. 117 00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:27,347 If you found the sound of this phone kind of lacking, 118 00:05:27,347 --> 00:05:29,008 I can suggest you try one of this, 119 00:05:29,008 --> 00:05:30,402 the OnePlus Nord Buds 3. 120 00:05:30,402 --> 00:05:33,294 It was able to give me a good gaming experience here. 121 00:05:33,294 --> 00:05:35,925 The sound quality of this is definitely good 122 00:05:35,925 --> 00:05:37,943 and its design is great. 123 00:05:37,943 --> 00:05:39,993 What I like about here is it connects fast 124 00:05:39,993 --> 00:05:40,944 on the OnePlus 13. 125 00:05:40,944 --> 00:05:43,510 Once you open it, it can detect it already, 126 00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:45,331 just simply press the connect button 127 00:05:45,331 --> 00:05:46,887 and it'll be connected. 128 00:05:46,887 --> 00:05:49,815 One thing that I like here is it's super light to my ears, 129 00:05:49,815 --> 00:05:51,875 it's not heavy, and it can give me roughly 130 00:05:51,875 --> 00:05:53,712 up to 16 hours of playback time. 131 00:05:53,712 --> 00:05:56,172 The price of this one is Php1,790 132 00:05:56,172 --> 00:05:59,009 at any Digital Walker online and offline stores. 133 00:05:59,009 --> 00:06:00,585 Check on the description box. 134 00:06:02,682 --> 00:06:04,592 Let's now talk about the camera. 135 00:06:04,592 --> 00:06:07,137 This one has a 50MP main camera sensor with OIS, 136 00:06:07,137 --> 00:06:10,074 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, 137 00:06:10,074 --> 00:06:14,198 and 8MP ultra wide lens up to 112° FoV. 138 00:06:14,198 --> 00:06:16,688 It has color spectrum sensor and can shoot you 139 00:06:16,688 --> 00:06:18,355 up to 4K and 60 FPS. 140 00:06:18,355 --> 00:06:20,943 Its front-facing camera is 16MP which can only shoot you 141 00:06:20,943 --> 00:06:22,883 up to 1080p and 30 FPS. 142 00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:26,169 Let's start our camera analysis with some outdoor shot 143 00:06:26,169 --> 00:06:29,139 and you'd see that some of these shots on outdoors, 144 00:06:29,139 --> 00:06:33,266 the details of the clouds even on simple shots look great. 145 00:06:33,266 --> 00:06:35,042 And when you look at this scenery, 146 00:06:35,042 --> 00:06:36,938 it looks very cool to the eyes. 147 00:06:36,938 --> 00:06:38,912 This is another shot that I really like. 148 00:06:38,912 --> 00:06:40,318 Its colors look beautiful. 149 00:06:40,318 --> 00:06:43,193 The color science on the camera of the OnePlus 13R 150 00:06:43,193 --> 00:06:46,769 looks really nice, and I simply love this shot. 151 00:06:46,769 --> 00:06:48,938 If you're a fan of animal shots, 152 00:06:48,938 --> 00:06:51,679 to take a shot like this one, it's just a quick snap, 153 00:06:51,679 --> 00:06:56,112 you can see that all the details of this cat are preserved, 154 00:06:56,112 --> 00:06:57,463 even its whiskers. 155 00:06:57,463 --> 00:07:00,458 And it's truly one of the camera that you'd want to buy 156 00:07:00,458 --> 00:07:01,427 at this price point. 157 00:07:01,427 --> 00:07:04,524 And taking some Chinese New Year lantern shot 158 00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:07,839 like this is looking really nice and the details captured here 159 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,894 are really good and blurring all the way to the background. 160 00:07:10,894 --> 00:07:13,748 Now one of the things I noticed on this green is that 161 00:07:13,748 --> 00:07:16,185 it's not oversaturated, and it looks quite natural. 162 00:07:16,185 --> 00:07:19,099 Its color not enhanced too much, making it look 163 00:07:19,099 --> 00:07:20,288 really natural. 164 00:07:20,288 --> 00:07:22,003 And this is another shot that I really like. 165 00:07:22,003 --> 00:07:24,422 Its focusing on this subject looks really great 166 00:07:24,422 --> 00:07:26,136 and blurring all the way to the background. 167 00:07:26,136 --> 00:07:28,576 How the subject pops out in this subject is really great. 168 00:07:28,576 --> 00:07:31,349 Equally said on this photo, its focus on the subject 169 00:07:31,349 --> 00:07:32,256 looks great. 170 00:07:32,256 --> 00:07:35,275 If you're taking some greens here, I can tell you 171 00:07:35,275 --> 00:07:37,548 that it's not that saturated, just really the natural look 172 00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:40,475 of color green. 173 00:07:40,475 --> 00:07:42,208 This is another shot that I also like. 174 00:07:42,208 --> 00:07:44,851 It looks very nice and it looks like you're just 175 00:07:44,851 --> 00:07:45,626 in a farm. 176 00:07:45,626 --> 00:07:47,274 And when I played with its ultra wide lens, 177 00:07:47,274 --> 00:07:48,395 this is how it looks like. 178 00:07:48,698 --> 00:07:51,365 Normal shot and 2x zoom. 179 00:07:51,615 --> 00:07:55,275 You'll notice that the color science is almost similar 180 00:07:55,278 --> 00:07:58,468 from the ultra wide to the normal shot. 181 00:07:58,468 --> 00:08:03,038 But when it comes to 2x zoom, its color looks gloomier, 182 00:08:03,038 --> 00:08:04,817 its approach is a bit grayish. 183 00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:07,168 You'll see that in the glass, it's color blue here 184 00:08:07,168 --> 00:08:11,786 and on this one it's darker blue or faded blue. 185 00:08:11,786 --> 00:08:14,447 This is what it looks like if you're taking a flower shot. 186 00:08:14,447 --> 00:08:16,986 The details that it captures are clean. 187 00:08:17,316 --> 00:08:20,109 If you're going indoors taking some statue shots, 188 00:08:20,114 --> 00:08:21,344 it looks really nice. 189 00:08:21,344 --> 00:08:24,900 Its shot looks really great, these figures look very sharp. 190 00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:27,706 And if you're taking a food shot, equally said, 191 00:08:27,706 --> 00:08:31,370 OnePlus 13R also performs well. 192 00:08:31,370 --> 00:08:33,672 We can see some of these food shots 193 00:08:33,672 --> 00:08:36,096 that we got are really, really sharp, 194 00:08:36,096 --> 00:08:37,982 the details looks really nice. 195 00:08:37,982 --> 00:08:40,314 And the way it was able to focus on food, 196 00:08:40,314 --> 00:08:42,078 I really simply love it. 197 00:08:42,078 --> 00:08:43,902 Now, I also tried its front-facing camera 198 00:08:43,902 --> 00:08:47,233 on outdoors and it would take you some really nice details 199 00:08:47,233 --> 00:08:50,077 on your face, and it doesn't beautify 200 00:08:50,077 --> 00:08:52,744 on default which is definitely okay. 201 00:08:52,744 --> 00:08:55,432 You'll get a different result on the same spot. 202 00:08:55,432 --> 00:08:57,272 This is my face is against the sun 203 00:08:57,272 --> 00:08:59,730 and this is when the camera is against the sun. 204 00:08:59,730 --> 00:09:01,890 You'll see that it's kind of overexposed 205 00:09:01,890 --> 00:09:03,318 when the camera is against the sun. 206 00:09:03,318 --> 00:09:05,119 But the shot looks great when your face 207 00:09:05,119 --> 00:09:06,130 is against the sun. 208 00:09:06,130 --> 00:09:08,470 When it comes to indoors, honestly I was surprised 209 00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:10,531 that these photos were captured really nicely. 210 00:09:10,531 --> 00:09:11,706 And when zooming in on my face, 211 00:09:11,706 --> 00:09:15,211 you'll see that it's similar to my outdoor shots, 212 00:09:15,211 --> 00:09:19,123 it's clear, and the imperfections on my face are visible. 213 00:09:19,123 --> 00:09:21,082 If you're using the front-facing camera 214 00:09:21,082 --> 00:09:24,203 to take a simple vlog, well, it's okay, 215 00:09:24,203 --> 00:09:26,185 the resolution looks great, except that 216 00:09:26,185 --> 00:09:27,252 it's a little jittery. 217 00:09:27,252 --> 00:09:29,094 It's not too much. 218 00:09:29,094 --> 00:09:31,408 But its rear camera is a performer 219 00:09:31,408 --> 00:09:32,673 because it's very smooth. 220 00:09:32,673 --> 00:09:34,406 I'm just using my bare hand on this shot, 221 00:09:34,406 --> 00:09:36,709 and you'll see the details that you'll get on this video 222 00:09:36,709 --> 00:09:38,069 looks great. 223 00:09:38,069 --> 00:09:41,407 This is just a 13R, there's no Hasselblad here yet. 224 00:09:43,507 --> 00:09:45,856 So guys, what's my verdict on the OnePlus 13R? 225 00:09:45,863 --> 00:09:49,450 Honestly, it's probably not the cheapest that you can buy 226 00:09:49,450 --> 00:09:50,704 from OnePlus. 227 00:09:50,704 --> 00:09:53,658 One thing I noticed here is that it's really powerful, 228 00:09:53,658 --> 00:09:55,410 Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. 229 00:09:55,410 --> 00:09:57,724 And probably one thing that let me down here 230 00:09:57,724 --> 00:10:00,130 is its front-facing camera which can only shoot you 231 00:10:00,130 --> 00:10:02,196 up to 1080p and 30 FPS. 232 00:10:02,196 --> 00:10:05,081 Given the fact that it's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 233 00:10:05,081 --> 00:10:07,560 I was quite disappointed with its front-facing camera. 234 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:09,511 But overall, the performance is good, 235 00:10:09,511 --> 00:10:11,717 except its front-facing camera. 236 00:10:11,717 --> 00:10:14,820 If they made this 4K and 30 FPS, no questions asked, 237 00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:16,383 it's definitely a good buy. 238 00:10:16,383 --> 00:10:18,979 But I would say its performance is definitely way, 239 00:10:18,979 --> 00:10:21,979 way better than the OPPO Reno 13 Pro. 240 00:10:21,979 --> 00:10:23,244 How about you guys, what can you say 241 00:10:23,244 --> 00:10:24,833 about the OnePlus 13R? 242 00:10:24,833 --> 00:10:25,881 Let me know on the comments. 243 00:10:25,881 --> 00:10:27,554 If you want to buy where you can buy this, 244
