OnePlus has just launched the 13s, a smartphone that proves it\u2019s possible to have a truly compact flagship. Featuring a \u00a06.32-inch\u00a0 screen, \u00a0Snapdragon 8 Elite\u00a0, a \u00a05850 mAh\u00a0 battery, and an attractive price point, it ticks all the boxes. However, there is a catch.<\/p>\n\n

The catch? There\u2019s no waiting\u2014we\u2019ll tell you upfront: this smartphone will not be released in Europe. It\u2019s a shame because it had the potential to win over users.<\/p>\n\n

Compact Without Compromising<\/h2>\n\n

The OnePlus 13s demonstrates that a smartphone can remain “small”\u2014with a significance to those quotation marks\u2014while still housing serious components. With its \u00a06.32-inch display\u00a0, it has a similar size to the iPhone 16 Pro<\/a>, yet manages to fit a \u00a05850 mAh battery\u00a0 into a chassis just \u00a08.2 mm thick\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n

\n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/figure>\n\n

The \u00a0LTPO AMOLED\u00a0 screen delivers a resolution of \u00a02640 x 1216 pixels\u00a0, boasting a brightness of \u00a01600 nits\u00a0 and a refresh rate of \u00a0up to 120 Hz\u00a0. This is standard for a flagship device, yet in a format that fits comfortably in hand\u2014especially at this price point.<\/p>\n\n

\n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/figure>\n\n

OnePlus adds a touch of \u00a0customization\u00a0 that\u2019s Plus-configurable, similar to the action button found on the iPhone. <\/p>\n\n

This button can be assigned any function you want: flashlight, silent mode, opening an app, and more\u2014practical for daily use.<\/p>\n\n

\n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/figure>\n\n

Weighing in at just \u00a0185 grams\u00a0, the OnePlus 13s remains reasonable for a smartphone packed with technology. OnePlus has successfully optimized the available space.<\/p>\n\n

Decent Photography, Top-Notch Performance<\/h2>\n\n

On the photography front, OnePlus employs dual \u00a050-megapixel\u00a0 sensors on the rear\u2014a main sensor with a \u00a0Sony LYT-700\u00a0 and a \u00a02x telephoto lens\u00a0. No frills, just the essentials to cover everyday needs. The \u00a032-megapixel\u00a0 front-facing camera completes the setup.<\/p>\n\n

\n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/figure>\n\n

The \u00a0Snapdragon 8 Elite\u00a0 ensures flagship-level performance. This recent chip provides both power and energy efficiency, ideal for a compact smartphone that must manage battery life intelligently.<\/p>\n\n

OnePlus claims \u00a016 hours\u00a0 of autonomy on social media, with \u00a010 hours\u00a0 for video calls and \u00a07 hours\u00a0 for gaming. These impressive figures demonstrate the effectiveness of the robust battery.<\/p>\n\n

Charging via \u00a080 W USB-C\u00a0 allows for quick energy recovery when needed. This offers a good balance between capacity and recharge speed.<\/p>\n\n

All the Necessary Connectivity<\/h2>\n\n

OnePlus didn\u2019t skimp on connectivity features. \u00a0Wi-Fi 7\u00a0, \u00a0Bluetooth 6.0\u00a0 with \u00a0aptX HD\u00a0 and \u00a0LDAC\u00a0 codecs, and \u00a0NFC\u00a0 are all included. The fingerprint sensor is integrated beneath the display, as is expected from a modern smartphone\u2014except, of course, among Apple devices.<\/p>\n\n

Initial images suggest careful attention to detail in the build quality. OnePlus has mastered the art of creating a premium smartphone, even in a compact format.<\/p>\n\n

A Price That Sparks Interest<\/h2>\n\n

OnePlus has priced the 13s at \u00a0560 euros\u00a0 for the \u00a012 GB RAM\u00a0 and \u00a0256 GB\u00a0 storage version. The \u00a0512 GB\u00a0 model increases to \u00a0610 euros\u00a0. These aggressive rates stand out compared to other flagship prices, which often exceed \u00a01000 euros\u00a0 in Europe.<\/p>\n\n

This pricing positions it directly against less premium smartphones while offering top-tier performance. This strategy seems effective in \u00a0India\u00a0, where pricing competition is fierce.<\/p>\n\n

For Europeans accustomed to high flagship prices, these rates could have made a significant impact. Sadly, we may never know.<\/p>\n\n

The downside of the OnePlus 13s? It will only be released in India. OnePlus has announced no plans for Europe, leaving the European market without an exciting alternative to the current giant smartphones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n
