OnePlus 13s Review: A Sleek, Small-Form Powerhouse for Today’s Users
The OnePlus 13s is a high-end Android smartphone that combines a small form factor, a long battery life, and practical AI functions.
A compact phone: what is it? For the past three or four years, I have been asking everyone, at least in my IT community. Since everyone defines a tiny smartphone differently, I haven’t gotten a single consistent response. In actuality, the definition of a tiny phone has changed throughout time as phones have gotten bigger. In a time when phones with 6.9-inch screens are common, a 6.3-inch smartphone—once thought to be fairly large—is now regarded as tiny.
One typical response, though, was that little phones typically had poorer specs and shorter battery lives. I was therefore both anxious and thrilled to learn that OnePlus was releasing the 13s, its first little phone. The company, which is well-known for producing powerful smartphones, is entering an undefined market. Although there are “small” phones available, there isn’t a standard model that has completely changed the market.
Apple attempted to produce little phones and even launched a line of “Mini” phones, but those have since been discontinued. As a result, OnePlus is one of the few companies selling flagship-level smartphones.
I understand that some people could argue that a smartphone that is 6.3 inches in size does not qualify as a “small” phone. With 6.8-inch screens, the OnePlus 13 and 13R are larger than the 6.32-inch OnePlus 13s. Additionally, it boasts a 5850 mAH battery, which is possibly the largest battery size I have seen on a popular “small” phone.
Whether or not the OnePlus 13s is a compact smartphone is up to you, but I think it might spark a new discussion about small flagships, a market that is still lacking its flagship model. Here are some things I liked and didn’t like about the OnePlus 13s, which I’ve had for a few days.
The pleasure of using a little phone
Recently, I moved from a 6.9-inch smartphone to the OnePlus 13s, and the two phones feel very different in the hand. I enjoy using a smaller phone every time I pick up the OnePlus 13s. Perhaps it’s because I spent the most time using the iPhone 13 mini and am accustomed to the comfort that small devices offer.
The OnePlus 13s is easy to operate one-handed and fits into any pocket, including my tight-fitting Levi’s trousers, thanks to its physical dimensions of 8.15 mm thin and 185 gramme. The phone’s lightweight aluminium construction not only facilitates one-handed operation but also makes it easy to carry in light apparel, such as shorts, for my morning walks.
The iPhone 16 Pro, which weighs 199 grammes, is the phone that is most similar in size to the OnePlus 13s. I really enjoy the OnePlus 13s’s size and fit, however I won’t claim it’s as lightweight and compact as the iPhone 13 mini, which featured a 5.4-inch screen. I thought the phone was a little hefty at first, but that impression vanished as I started using it. It has a rounded appearance. It feels wonderful in the touch, is beautifully constructed, and has a glass back. It’s a pleasure to use, especially when I’m standing in congested areas like the Delhi Metro, because I can reach practically everything on-screen.
The OnePlus 13s’s new camera design on the back was another feature I enjoyed. Instead of being round, it now has an asymmetrically positioned squircle-shaped camera housing. OnePlus sent me the green version (marketed as Green Silk), which is only available in India, to try out out of the three hues available. After a few days of use, I can say that the OnePlus 13s has a distinctly OnePlus appearance, which sets it apart from the OnePlus 13.
