to the OnePlus 11 which makes me really excited to jump two generations to the OnePlus 13 which out of the box comes with the most up-to-date oxygen OS and Android 15 and features the octacore Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU which oh hold on first of all that is a really pretty blue midnight ocean I actually really like that and it feels like almost like a leathery kind of back compared to I guess this is again two generations older but more of like a plasticky gloss back feels really good in the hand it almost feels like it adds a little bit more texture as you can see by the crack on mine it definitely did slip out of my hand while I was on the toilet so hopefully uh this color will stay in your hand a little bit more but let's see what else is in the Box here oh wow that is a chunky wallwart which can deliver 80 Watts I know the phone can do it but that's awesome that they actually included a wallwart capable of that most phones might do some sort of 80 WT or 100 watt fast charging but will only include a 45 or something watt charger and of course OnePlus trademark red about a what 3 and 1/2 ft USB a to USBC cable touring the outside of the phone here it actually looks like they've moved the notification slider so this is where you can have it on silent vibrate or your ring on they've moved it to the left side here and on the right side volume up and down and our power button and then on the bottom your SIM tray and your USBC Port there and then of course on the back they kind of have their signature circle design with the three cameras by Hasselblad which we'll get into a little bit later here let's power on the phone here and while we're waiting you can enjoy this message from our sponsor thanks to Lexar for sponsoring this video their professional workflow dock is designed with media Creation in mind with six modular memory Bays for Speed and versatility its two Thunderbolt 4 Bays reach transfer speeds of up to 40 G gbits per second supports 8K monitor support and you even get a 140 W Gan charger with a replaceable plug get 20% off the entire Lexar workflow series of products using our Link in the description today there we go yep it looks like a OnePlus phone which some people have had hot takes over the years about oxygen OS kind of pivoting to more of a stylized operating system instead of its roots where it was supposed to be a grounded more back to Roots uh Android however you like it it's up to you I personally don't care cuz I joined the OnePlus game kind of late speaking of the OS OnePlus has promised four years of Android updates and 6 years of security updates meaning you know as long as phones don't get crazy in performance it might be worth just holding on to this for those four to 6 years another feature that I saw I saw a video breakdown by another YouTuber I forget his name off the top of my head but they've done quite a few changes between oxygen os14 and oxygen-15 including some stylized animations some other security features like you can actually have your notifications hide if it detects someone is looking over your shoulder which is kind of cool I think some people might like those features and I would say the animations kind of give it more of an iPhone feel if that's what you're looking for in an Android phone but having a fancy OS with a bunch of features doesn't really mean anything if you don't have great Hardware to power it and underneath like I said that Snapdragon 8 Elite chip is what's powering this phone it's boasting a 45% performance boost Improvement as well as 44% more efficient on the battery meaning longer battery life maybe with watching a YouTube video or better performance in games this is normally where I would show some numbers about that but unfortunately our it's the Christmas holidays and our Labs was on break so we don't have any hard numbers on how long this phone will last but it is powered by a 6,000 milliamp hour battery which is up there with all the flagship phones and I think from there you could probably guesstimate it will last you all day probably just fine charge it overnight or charge it while you're in the shower and again that 80 wat fast charging means you can probably charge it pretty quick and I guess talking about long lasting watching a video or something we should actually pull up some content on the screen it looks again I would never ever complain watching any sort of media on this phone it's a 6.8 in 1440p AMOLED display at 120 HZ so hopefully some high refresh rate gaming might look really smooth as well and apparently at display mat it was the only phone or the first phone at least to receive an A++ rating that should mean it's pretty good and I think for 99% of people they would look at this phone and probably go that's incredible but half of a video's experience is the Audio I want to hear the speakers these are definitely not the best speakers I've heard in a phone in fact I probably wouldn't want to go much higher than 50% I'm going to because I want to test it but I can tell right now that going higher this is probably going to suck they're loud so if you want everyone in the room to hear it if you're showing someone a video that's the mission accomplished I don't know I wouldn't say that they're amazing they would pass a test you know I like I don't know I I think phone speakers always end up peaking usually when they're at 100% anyways and I have found that on my phones in the past around that 70% to 80% Mark seems to be their peak in this case it seems to be about the 50% Mark maybe 60% before I start noticing some crackling the bass sounded really good though it was actually like thumping but we all know why you guys get phones you want a game what you guys don't have phones one of the crazy things about that new Snapdragon Elite 8 is it apparently can be equipped all the way up to 24 GB of RAM and 1 tab of storage OnePlus has dialed that back the max you can get is 16 gigs of RAM and 5 12 GB of storage or starting at 12 and 256 either way I think no matter what spec you get it'll probably translate to some good gaming so let's let's give her a try oh Nuke Town let's go yo yeah I'm a gamer what can I say got a 4K but as of right now feels cool in my hand doesn't feel like it's getting warm which is great it doesn't seem like I'm dropping below 120 I don't have any sort of FPS counter open on screen so I went in the settings and looked it's set to 120 it looks to be about the same what I was looking at you guys won't be able to see it but it is very smooth no hitches I mean I'm not saying Cod is the most demanding of games but it's definitely up there for a mobile game okay let's look at an actual reason you guys buy a phone sometimes is the cameras of course like I mentioned earlier it has kind of its signature look of the triy cameras on the back made by Hasselblad and each of those three cameras on the back is 50 megapixels which if you're a member from the 12 the telephoto lens was actually 64 why they chose to go from 64 back down to 50 not really sure apparently some reviews and some people are saying that it is a little bit worse I think again for most people it's probably going to be okay if you are someone who's buying a phone to go take professional photography you're not buying a phone so I think again it's going to be fine for most people the selfie cam on the front which as you can see is kind of like a little hole punch camera seems to be about the same specs as before 32 megapixels and I think I like whole punch cameras man I go back and forth on this decision all the time I like whole punch cameras more than most unders screen cameras but then every time I've looked at Red Magic's unders screen camera that's the best implementation I've ever seen scene in this case it might work OnePlus does kind of an iPhone thing where they have like a dynamic Island at the top where you can see some notifications see if you're screen recording seeing if there's some app doing something in the background and I guess in that sense you don't notice the whole punch as much again making this phone feel more almost iphony than anything but let's uh let's actually take some photos here take a photo of my boys yep that's a phone doing the classic uh trademark Watermark at the bottom I'm sure you can remove that in the settings yeah that's I love I love 6 mm this is my selfie yep that's a selfie again shooting towards kind of like Belle and Andrew over there is probably one of the worst case scenarios cuz there's like studio lights shining directly into the lens it does a pretty good job I don't know I wouldn't complain now these cameras can do all the way up to 8K 24 FPS 4K 60 FPS but according to the last phone the the OnePlus 12 some people ly experienced frame drops so I'm curious if maybe if we do a quick record here and we'll let it roll for a little bit if we end up experiencing the same thing maybe it was a CPU limitation maybe it was a RAM limitation I don't know we'll let the camera kind of go for a while here let's let it play back here and see if we see anything the stabilization is really good but that's where I'm noticing the frame drops I'm noticing occasionally It'll like skip what should be smooth it's very subtle and I think for like obviously if you're trying to record something that maybe you're going to post on Tik Tok or for your YouTube channel obviously hitches are going to suck and they're going to you know affect the quality of the video but if you're someone who's just you know filming your kid unboxing a Christmas gift you probably won't really care that much but it's it is there it's definitely an issue I can see so depending on your use case some other quick rapid fire specs about the phone Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 ip68 and ip69 and a whole whack ton of AI features yeah you hear the crickets too I'll never use those features anyways the starting price for this phone $900 for the 12 GB of RAM and 256 and then this version here which is the 16 and 512 is $1,000 OnePlus definitely getting into that Flagship pricing and I think the difference between this one and my 11 isn't quite enough to jump considering I believe my 11 is also going to be getting oxygen os5 but for some of you out there maybe this is the jump you want to take if you want a more iPhone like experience on an and Android or if you're running an even older version of a OnePlus phone let me know what your guys thought on the phone it's $100 more than the 12 which you should go check out lus actually did an unboxing of that one last year like comment subscribe"}
