00:00:00.054 --> 00:00:02.620
Hey! The OnePlus 13R
has arrived.

00:00:02.620 --> 00:00:04.553
It's been released together
with the OnePlus 13

00:00:04.553 --> 00:00:07.771
and Digital Walker 
had a preselling for this phone.

00:00:07.771 --> 00:00:09.099
What are the specs of this?

00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:11.037
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

00:00:11.037 --> 00:00:14.056
It's just a one generation older
flagship chip of Qualcomm.

00:00:14.056 --> 00:00:16.322
50MP triple camera lens,
except that it doesn't have

00:00:16.322 --> 00:00:18.588
the Hasselblad
color calibration.

00:00:18.588 --> 00:00:21.329
Its battery is big at 6,000mAh.

00:00:21.329 --> 00:00:23.659
And with how thin this box is,
expect that there'll be

00:00:23.659 --> 00:00:24.582
no charger.

00:00:24.582 --> 00:00:26.749
More details and price
after this quick intro.

00:00:26.749 --> 00:00:29.562
(introduction music)

00:01:08.377 --> 00:01:12.801
The OnePlus 13R with 12GB of RAM
and 256GB of storage,

00:01:12.801 --> 00:01:16.244
its regular price would be
Php38,990.

00:01:16.244 --> 00:01:18.146
And right now, it's on sale, 
the same with

00:01:18.146 --> 00:01:21.140
the early bird price
at Php35,990.

00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:22.921
You can buy this
in Digital Walker

00:01:22.921 --> 00:01:24.395
and on the link
on the description box

00:01:24.395 --> 00:01:25.552
that I'll post below.

00:01:27.332 --> 00:01:29.728
Now one thing I noticed 
in it is that this phone

00:01:29.728 --> 00:01:33.127
is very rectangle-like.

00:01:33.139 --> 00:01:36.436
Its sides are kind of edgy.

00:01:36.436 --> 00:01:39.666
But one thing I liked about it
is the aluminum frame

00:01:39.666 --> 00:01:41.999
feeling very premium on the sides.

00:01:41.999 --> 00:01:44.628
This one is being protected
by a glass back finish

00:01:44.628 --> 00:01:47.761
and a Corning Gorilla Glass 7i
protection in front.

00:01:47.761 --> 00:01:50.318
What's nice on the camera bump
is that every single ring

00:01:50.318 --> 00:01:53.262
isn't protruding,
and its back being very flat.

00:01:53.262 --> 00:01:55.190
Its camera bump
is also not thick.

00:01:55.190 --> 00:01:56.966
One thing that's maybe
important to you

00:01:56.966 --> 00:01:58.056
is that it has an eSIM support.

00:01:58.056 --> 00:02:00.511
And this phone comes running
with OxygenOS 15

00:02:00.511 --> 00:02:02.335
inside Android 15.

00:02:04.315 --> 00:02:05.990
Like I told you,
this one is being powered

00:02:05.992 --> 00:02:07.916
by the Qualcomm 
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3,

00:02:07.916 --> 00:02:11.304
it's just one generation older
premium flagship of Qualcomm.

00:02:11.304 --> 00:02:13.528
And it's got 1.81 million points.

00:02:13.828 --> 00:02:14.951
This is the breakdown.

00:02:14.956 --> 00:02:15.805
Still goods.

00:02:15.805 --> 00:02:17.780
Its loop score is 4,387.

00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:21.854
And it has 77.8% stability
on Wild Life Extreme.

00:02:21.854 --> 00:02:24.139
And this is the score
that I got on CPU benchmarking.

00:02:24.139 --> 00:02:26.513
And this is 
on the GPU benchmarking.

00:02:26.725 --> 00:02:29.322
Its thermals are kind of messy
and it throttled to 73%

00:02:29.322 --> 00:02:30.698
of its best performance.

00:02:33.088 --> 00:02:34.634
One of the things
that you'll like here

00:02:34.652 --> 00:02:35.913
is its big battery.

00:02:35.928 --> 00:02:39.857
It is a silicon carbon
6,000mAh which can support

00:02:39.857 --> 00:02:42.167
up to 80W fast charging.

00:02:42.167 --> 00:02:43.709
Sad to say,
there's no charger.

00:02:43.709 --> 00:02:46.047
But based on my testing,
its battery is more durable

00:02:46.047 --> 00:02:47.818
then the OnePlus 13.

00:02:47.818 --> 00:02:50.247
On the OnePlus 13R,
we got 21 hours

00:02:50.247 --> 00:02:53.897
and 27 minutes of screen-on time
based on 50% brightness

00:02:53.897 --> 00:02:55.781
and 60Hz of screen refresh rate.

00:02:57.714 --> 00:02:59.613
Let's now talk about its display.

00:02:59.617 --> 00:03:03.395
This one has a 6.78-inch
LTPO AMOLED display.

00:03:03.395 --> 00:03:04.995
It has 120Hz
of screen refresh rate

00:03:04.995 --> 00:03:07.783
and its maximum brightness
is 4,500 nits.

00:03:07.783 --> 00:03:09.886
Its screen-to-body ratio
is 92%.

00:03:09.886 --> 00:03:12.329
And it also has 
Ultra HDR Image support.

00:03:12.329 --> 00:03:15.201
One thing that you'll like here
is its great display.

00:03:15.201 --> 00:03:17.978
Probably one of the better ones 
that I've tried

00:03:17.978 --> 00:03:19.092
on this price range.

00:03:19.092 --> 00:03:22.475
And browsing 
your favorite photos on gallery,

00:03:22.475 --> 00:03:25.965
swiping on shorts and reels,
expect it to give you

00:03:25.965 --> 00:03:27.431
a really smooth experience.

00:03:27.431 --> 00:03:30.154
And if you're watching videos
on this phone

00:03:30.154 --> 00:03:32.378
on YouTube and Netflix,
because it has a Level 1

00:03:32.378 --> 00:03:35.723
Widevine Security Level,
expect a really good quality

00:03:35.723 --> 00:03:38.722
on this phone
because the colors are punchy

00:03:38.722 --> 00:03:40.940
and you're definitely set
to enjoy this one.

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.623
This phone has stereo speakers,
two holes on the bottom

00:03:45.632 --> 00:03:46.799
and one hole on the top.

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:49.247
Let's just quickly check
how loud its sounds are.

00:03:49.393 --> 00:03:51.705
(APT by Bruno Mars and Rosé)

00:03:54.594 --> 00:03:56.987
Its sounds are loud,
it's just that it's not

00:03:56.987 --> 00:03:59.521
as loud as the OnePlus 13.

00:04:01.551 --> 00:04:03.996
So we've played three games here,
Genshin Impact,

00:04:04.010 --> 00:04:05.948
Farlight 84,
and Call of Duty Mobile.

00:04:05.948 --> 00:04:09.269
On Genshin Impact,
my game experience was good.

00:04:09.269 --> 00:04:12.365
I expected it from a Qualcomm
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

00:04:12.365 --> 00:04:14.596
It was really set to perform
in games.

00:04:14.596 --> 00:04:17.207
And like triple A games
like Genshin Impact,

00:04:17.207 --> 00:04:18.842
its gameplay is good.

00:04:18.842 --> 00:04:21.978
One thing I liked about it
is that its gameplay was smooth,

00:04:21.978 --> 00:04:23.480
you won't feel much lags,

00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.432
except if you're 
in a heavy battle,

00:04:25.432 --> 00:04:27.988
there are just very,
very minor frame drops.

00:04:27.988 --> 00:04:30.494
But sometimes you won't
almost notice it

00:04:30.494 --> 00:04:32.123
during an intense gameplay.

00:04:32.123 --> 00:04:34.864
But one thing's for sure here
is that the screen

00:04:34.864 --> 00:04:36.816
of the OnePlus 13R
is very responsive

00:04:36.816 --> 00:04:39.290
and the sound is quite decent.

00:04:39.290 --> 00:04:41.253
And playing after 30 minutes,
the hottest I've achieved

00:04:41.253 --> 00:04:42.738
was 44°C.

00:04:42.738 --> 00:04:44.911
When it comes to Farlight 84,
equally said,

00:04:44.911 --> 00:04:46.305
its gameplay was also good.

00:04:46.305 --> 00:04:48.849
We set it to the highest 
graphic settings possible

00:04:48.849 --> 00:04:51.315
and I was able to get
a really nice experience here.

00:04:51.315 --> 00:04:52.800
The gameplay was smooth.

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.185
And honestly,
I didn't feel that much

00:04:54.185 --> 00:04:55.368
frame drops on it.

00:04:55.368 --> 00:04:57.694
Playing after 30 minutes,
the hottest it reached

00:04:57.694 --> 00:04:58.754
was 42°C.

00:04:58.754 --> 00:05:00.191
Call of Duty Mobile,
we also set it

00:05:00.191 --> 00:05:02.512
to the max graphic settings.

00:05:02.512 --> 00:05:06.017
And I've also played
30 minutes of battle royale here.

00:05:06.017 --> 00:05:08.077
The gameplay was really smooth.

00:05:08.077 --> 00:05:09.639
I didn't feel 
any frame drops on it.

00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.192
This is very easy
for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

00:05:13.192 --> 00:05:16.864
One thing I noticed with it
is that the sounds

00:05:16.864 --> 00:05:20.213
are not as loud
as the OnePlus 13.

00:05:20.401 --> 00:05:23.580
And the hottest I reached here
after 30 minutes of gameplay

00:05:23.580 --> 00:05:24.900
was 42°C.

00:05:24.900 --> 00:05:27.347
If you found the sound
of this phone kind of lacking,

00:05:27.347 --> 00:05:29.008
I can suggest you try
one of this,

00:05:29.008 --> 00:05:30.402
the OnePlus Nord Buds 3.

00:05:30.402 --> 00:05:33.294
It was able to give me
a good gaming experience here.

00:05:33.294 --> 00:05:35.925
The sound quality of this
is definitely good

00:05:35.925 --> 00:05:37.943
and its design is great.

00:05:37.943 --> 00:05:39.993
What I like about here
is it connects fast

00:05:39.993 --> 00:05:40.944
on the OnePlus 13.

00:05:40.944 --> 00:05:43.510
Once you open it,
it can detect it already,

00:05:43.510 --> 00:05:45.331
just simply press 
the connect button

00:05:45.331 --> 00:05:46.887
and it'll be connected.

00:05:46.887 --> 00:05:49.815
One thing that I like here
is it's super light to my ears,

00:05:49.815 --> 00:05:51.875
it's not heavy,
and it can give me roughly

00:05:51.875 --> 00:05:53.712
up to 16 hours
of playback time.

00:05:53.712 --> 00:05:56.172
The price of this one
is Php1,790

00:05:56.172 --> 00:05:59.009
at any Digital Walker
online and offline stores.

00:05:59.009 --> 00:06:00.585
Check on the description box.

00:06:02.682 --> 00:06:04.592
Let's now talk about the camera.

00:06:04.592 --> 00:06:07.137
This one has a 50MP
main camera sensor with OIS,

00:06:07.137 --> 00:06:10.074
50MP telephoto lens
with 2x optical zoom,

00:06:10.074 --> 00:06:14.198
and 8MP ultra wide lens
up to 112° FoV.

00:06:14.198 --> 00:06:16.688
It has color spectrum sensor
and can shoot you

00:06:16.688 --> 00:06:18.355
up to 4K and 60 FPS.

00:06:18.355 --> 00:06:20.943
Its front-facing camera
is 16MP which can only shoot you

00:06:20.943 --> 00:06:22.883
up to 1080p and 30 FPS.

00:06:22.883 --> 00:06:26.169
Let's start our camera analysis
with some outdoor shot

00:06:26.169 --> 00:06:29.139
and you'd see that some
of these shots on outdoors,

00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:33.266
the details of the clouds
even on simple shots look great.

00:06:33.266 --> 00:06:35.042
And when you look
at this scenery,

00:06:35.042 --> 00:06:36.938
it looks very cool to the eyes.

00:06:36.938 --> 00:06:38.912
This is another shot
that I really like.

00:06:38.912 --> 00:06:40.318
Its colors look beautiful.

00:06:40.318 --> 00:06:43.193
The color science 
on the camera of the OnePlus 13R

00:06:43.193 --> 00:06:46.769
looks really nice,
and I simply love this shot.

00:06:46.769 --> 00:06:48.938
If you're a fan 
of animal shots,

00:06:48.938 --> 00:06:51.679
to take a shot like this one,
it's just a quick snap,

00:06:51.679 --> 00:06:56.112
you can see that all the details
of this cat are preserved,

00:06:56.112 --> 00:06:57.463
even its whiskers.

00:06:57.463 --> 00:07:00.458
And it's truly one of the camera
that you'd want to buy

00:07:00.458 --> 00:07:01.427
at this price point.

00:07:01.427 --> 00:07:04.524
And taking some 
Chinese New Year lantern shot

00:07:04.524 --> 00:07:07.839
like this is looking really nice
and the details captured here

00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:10.894
are really good and blurring
all the way to the background.

00:07:10.894 --> 00:07:13.748
Now one of the things I noticed
on this green is that

00:07:13.748 --> 00:07:16.185
it's not oversaturated,
and it looks quite natural.

00:07:16.185 --> 00:07:19.099
Its color not enhanced too much,
making it look

00:07:19.099 --> 00:07:20.288
really natural.

00:07:20.288 --> 00:07:22.003
And this is another shot
that I really like.

00:07:22.003 --> 00:07:24.422
Its focusing on this subject
looks really great

00:07:24.422 --> 00:07:26.136
and blurring all the way
to the background.

00:07:26.136 --> 00:07:28.576
How the subject pops out
in this subject is really great.

00:07:28.576 --> 00:07:31.349
Equally said on this photo,
its focus on the subject

00:07:31.349 --> 00:07:32.256
looks great.

00:07:32.256 --> 00:07:35.275
If you're taking some greens here,
I can tell you

00:07:35.275 --> 00:07:37.548
that it's not that saturated,
just really the natural look

00:07:37.548 --> 00:07:40.475
of color green.

00:07:40.475 --> 00:07:42.208
This is another shot 
that I also like.

00:07:42.208 --> 00:07:44.851
It looks very nice
and it looks like you're just

00:07:44.851 --> 00:07:45.626
in a farm.

00:07:45.626 --> 00:07:47.274
And when I played
with its ultra wide lens,

00:07:47.274 --> 00:07:48.395
this is how it looks like.

00:07:48.698 --> 00:07:51.365
Normal shot and 2x zoom.

00:07:51.615 --> 00:07:55.275
You'll notice that the color science
is almost similar

00:07:55.278 --> 00:07:58.468
from the ultra wide
to the normal shot.

00:07:58.468 --> 00:08:03.038
But when it comes to 2x zoom,
its color looks gloomier,

00:08:03.038 --> 00:08:04.817
its approach is a bit grayish.

00:08:04.817 --> 00:08:07.168
You'll see that in the glass,
it's color blue here

00:08:07.168 --> 00:08:11.786
and on this one
it's darker blue or faded blue.

00:08:11.786 --> 00:08:14.447
This is what it looks like
if you're taking a flower shot.

00:08:14.447 --> 00:08:16.986
The details that it captures
are clean.

00:08:17.316 --> 00:08:20.109
If you're going indoors
taking some statue shots,

00:08:20.114 --> 00:08:21.344
it looks really nice.

00:08:21.344 --> 00:08:24.900
Its shot looks really great,
these figures look very sharp.

00:08:24.900 --> 00:08:27.706
And if you're taking a food shot,
equally said,

00:08:27.706 --> 00:08:31.370
OnePlus 13R also performs well.

00:08:31.370 --> 00:08:33.672
We can see some
of these food shots

00:08:33.672 --> 00:08:36.096
that we got are really,
really sharp,

00:08:36.096 --> 00:08:37.982
the details looks really nice.

00:08:37.982 --> 00:08:40.314
And the way it was able
to focus on food,

00:08:40.314 --> 00:08:42.078
I really simply love it.

00:08:42.078 --> 00:08:43.902
Now, I also tried
its front-facing camera

00:08:43.902 --> 00:08:47.233
on outdoors and it would
take you some really nice details

00:08:47.233 --> 00:08:50.077
on your face, 
and it doesn't beautify

00:08:50.077 --> 00:08:52.744
on default 
which is definitely okay.

00:08:52.744 --> 00:08:55.432
You'll get a different result
on the same spot.

00:08:55.432 --> 00:08:57.272
This is my face is against the sun

00:08:57.272 --> 00:08:59.730
and this is when the camera
is against the sun.

00:08:59.730 --> 00:09:01.890
You'll see that it's kind
of overexposed

00:09:01.890 --> 00:09:03.318
when the camera
is against the sun.

00:09:03.318 --> 00:09:05.119
But the shot looks great
when your face

00:09:05.119 --> 00:09:06.130
is against the sun.

00:09:06.130 --> 00:09:08.470
When it comes to indoors,
honestly I was surprised

00:09:08.470 --> 00:09:10.531
that these photos 
were captured really nicely.

00:09:10.531 --> 00:09:11.706
And when zooming in
on my face,

00:09:11.706 --> 00:09:15.211
you'll see that it's similar
to my outdoor shots,

00:09:15.211 --> 00:09:19.123
it's clear, and the imperfections
on my face are visible.

00:09:19.123 --> 00:09:21.082
If you're using
the front-facing camera

00:09:21.082 --> 00:09:24.203
to take a simple vlog,
well, it's okay,

00:09:24.203 --> 00:09:26.185
the resolution looks great,
except that

00:09:26.185 --> 00:09:27.252
it's a little jittery.

00:09:27.252 --> 00:09:29.094
It's not too much.

00:09:29.094 --> 00:09:31.408
But its rear camera
is a performer

00:09:31.408 --> 00:09:32.673
because it's very smooth.

00:09:32.673 --> 00:09:34.406
I'm just using my bare hand
on this shot,

00:09:34.406 --> 00:09:36.709
and you'll see the details
that you'll get on this video

00:09:36.709 --> 00:09:38.069
looks great.

00:09:38.069 --> 00:09:41.407
This is just a 13R,
there's no Hasselblad here yet.

00:09:43.507 --> 00:09:45.856
So guys, what's my verdict
on the OnePlus 13R?

00:09:45.863 --> 00:09:49.450
Honestly, it's probably not
the cheapest that you can buy

00:09:49.450 --> 00:09:50.704
from OnePlus.

00:09:50.704 --> 00:09:53.658
One thing I noticed here
is that it's really powerful,

00:09:53.658 --> 00:09:55.410
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

00:09:55.410 --> 00:09:57.724
And probably one thing
that let me down here

00:09:57.724 --> 00:10:00.130
is its front-facing camera
which can only shoot you

00:10:00.130 --> 00:10:02.196
up to 1080p and 30 FPS.

00:10:02.196 --> 00:10:05.081
Given the fact that
it's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3,

00:10:05.081 --> 00:10:07.560
I was quite disappointed
with its front-facing camera.

00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:09.511
But overall, 
the performance is good,

00:10:09.511 --> 00:10:11.717
except its front-facing camera.

00:10:11.717 --> 00:10:14.820
If they made this 4K and 30 FPS,
no questions asked,

00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:16.383
it's definitely a good buy.

00:10:16.383 --> 00:10:18.979
But I would say its performance
is definitely way,

00:10:18.979 --> 00:10:21.979
way better than 
the OPPO Reno 13 Pro.

00:10:21.979 --> 00:10:23.244
How about you guys,
what can you say

00:10:23.244 --> 00:10:24.833

00:10:24.833 --> 00:10:25.881
