OnePlus 13s Vs OnePlus 13: Specs, Performance, Camera, Design, Display, Price Compared

OnePlus launched the OnePlus 13s, a flagship phone with powerful features packed into a sleek, compact form. The OnePlus 13s is positioned between the premium flagship OnePlus 13 and the less expensive OnePlus 13R. At the same time, the 13s packs some features reserved for true flagships.

The question arises: How does OnePlus 13s hold up against OnePlus 13? Here's how both fare across various specs:

Both OnePlus 13s and OnePlus 13 pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC under their hood, so they’re almost at par when it comes to flagship-level performance. The OnePlus 13 does offer more RAM options (up to 24GB) as against OnePlus 13s (12GB), which means smoother performance, multitasking, and app switching.

While the 13s features a 6.32-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen, the OnePlus 13 boasts a bigger 6.82-inch QHD+ display. The OnePlus 13 has a more impressive appearance and feels high-end, but the OnePlus 13s has the edge of a thinner, lighter frame, weighing only 185 gm and measuring 8.2 mm.

Both phones are comparable when it comes to battery. The OnePlus 13s packs a 5850mAh cell with 80W fast charging, while the OnePlus 13 has a 6000mAh battery with 100W fast charging.

The OnePlus 13 leads the 13s in photography with its triple 50MP rear camera pack, as against a dual camera set (50MP primary Sony sensor and 50MP telephoto with 2x zoom) in the OnePlus 13s. Both have a 32MP selfie shooter.

The OnePlus 13s costs Rs 49,999 for the 12GB + 256GB model and Rs 54,999 for the 12GB + 512GB variant (after offers). The OnePlus 13 is priced at Rs 69,999 for the base model and Rs 89,999 for the 24GB + 1TB variant.

The OnePlus 13s will appeal more if you favour a compact phone that offers a flagship experience at a lesser price. However, if you want the best specs, an advanced camera set, and a premium flagship, OnePlus 13 fits the bill.
