OnePlus 13R Overview

Design

Like its recent predecessors, the OnePlus 13R takes much of its design inspiration from its flagship sibling. As such, this phone has a circular camera module aligned slightly near the edge.

Some notable visible differences are its overall flat design approach and the lack of a Hasselblad logo on the back.

It is available in two colour choices: Astral Trial and Nebula Noir. As the name suggests, the former option has a star trail-like pattern on the back. Meanwhile, the latter is black with a bit of grainy texture.

Given that it is a semi-flagship offering, it does not boast the IP69 or IP68 rating like the OnePlus 13. Instead, it is limited to a respectable IP65 rating only.

Display

On the front, the OnePlus 13R has a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel stretching 1.5K (1,264 x 2,780 pixels) in resolution with 450PPI pixel density.

In terms of brightness, it is pretty much the same as its flagship counterpart reaching a peak brightness of 4,500 nits and capping out at 1,600 nits on HBM. Likewise, it offers a 1 to 120Hz refresh rate, 100% P3 colour coverage and 10-bit colour depth as well.

You also get 2,160Hz PWM dimming and Aqua Touch 2.0 support on this device. The latter feature gives you undisturbed touch responsiveness even when your hands are covered in water, oil, or gloves.

Hardware

Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the OnePlus 13R packs the Qualcomm flagship chipset of the previous year i.e. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. While the processor might be a year old, it is still one of the most potent smartphone silicon in the world.

In the meantime, the phone comes in 12/256GB and 16/512GB configurations. Here, the memory and storage are LPDDR5X and UFS 4.0 respectively.

Similarly, the OnePlus 13R has a large 6,000 mAh battery as its powerhouse and supports up to 80W SUPERVOOC charging.

Cameras

This phone also has a triple camera setup on the back just like its flagship companion. However, instead of a 50MP ultrawide, this one only has an 8MP one.

The other two cameras are still 50MP units but use different sensors. The main camera features the Sony LYT-700 sensor, while the telephoto camera is equipped with the S5KJN5 sensor — the same thing used in the ultrawide camera of the OnePlus 13.

Moving to the front camera, we get a 16MP snapper for selfies and facial biometrics.

You also get all the software magic like adding details, ridding motion blurs and reflections, and so on.

Software and Features

The OnePlus 13R boots on Oxygen 15.0 (based on Android 15) — the lightest-ever OnePlus software pack. This version of OxygenOS brings the “Intelligent Search” feature, currently exclusive to the OnePlus 13 series. With this, your phone understands information from files and notes stored on it and lets you search for it using prompts.

OnePlus 13R Price in Nepal and Availability

OnePlus 13R price in Nepal is Rs. 76,999 for the sole 12/256GB variant. As part of the launch offer, OnePlus is offering the 100W OnePlus charger at just Rs. 999 (MRP 6499). Sadly, the 16/512GB variant is not available in Nepal.

Meanwhile, the OnePlus 13R costs INR 42,999 and INR 49,999 for the two available variants across the southern border.

While the direct conversion would place the 12/256GB and 16/512GB variants at Rs. 68,799 and Rs. 79,999, respectively, the OnePlus 13R debuts at a more aggressive price than the OnePlus 12R in Nepal. For comparison, the OnePlus 12R launched at Rs. 90,999 for the 16/256GB variant.

The OnePlus 13R is a great phone with last year’s flagship processor, an enormous battery, and a good set of cameras.

What makes it even more exciting is its aggressive pricing—OnePlus has launched the 13R at a more competitive price than the 12R, a good move from OnePlus.
