“Initially, I approached this purchase with a healthy dose of skepticism, opting for a pre-booking. However, from the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed. The front of the phone bears a striking resemblance to an iPhone, exuding a premium feel. Flipping it over, the quality of the back cover is immediately apparent – it feels genuinely high-end. One of my biggest concerns was performance, especially with graphics-intensive games like PUBG. I’m thrilled to report that there are absolutely no heating issues, even during extended gaming sessions. The camera, too, has been a pleasant surprise, consistently capturing excellent images, further enhanced by its impressive AI editing features. And the display? It’s incredibly crisp and vibrant. What’s more, the battery optimization is so good that you can enable all those battery-hungry animations and display settings and still comfortably get a full day of battery backup. A thoughtful feature I particularly appreciate is the option to restrict charging to 80%. Even with this limitation, I consistently achieve an impressive 7 hours of screen time, often with 25-30% battery life remaining by the end of the day. The user interface and animations are remarkably well-optimized, offering a smooth and fluid experience without any noticeable bugs so far. As someone who invests in a phone with a minimum multi-year horizon in mind – my last device was a Pixel 4a, which I moved on from due to its software and security support ending – this new phone truly fits the bill perfectly. I’m eagerly anticipating the Android 16 update!”

Best phone under 50k, Battery life is much better and last for 1.5 days easily under normal usage. Display is quite good. UI performance smooth. Camera quality not so bad, AI function makes picture much better according to your requirement. Only one thing is missing from my point of view… IP68. Rest everything is fine, fantastic, fabulous, mind-blowing.

As a very old user of OnePlus phones since the OnePlus One, then moving to 3T, used a Samsung Galaxy S8 for a while which I regretted, then back to OnePlus 9 pro and after 4 years the 9 Pro was still excellent except for the battery which I got changed but it was still draining very fast so I did what was necessary, bought a new phone. and the timing was excellent as the 13s was releasing just around the corner, so when the time came, booked it and bought it as soon as the phone was released. Bought it on the 11th of June and it arrived on the 16th, sadly the free ear buds was not deliverable at my location so I had to cancel it… Phone looks Beautiful and works excellent… good battery lasts me more than a day and I am a very heavy user and I have had no overly heating issue, and the charging is quick 0-100% in around 40-50 mins, its fast, easy one hand use, great UI, very little bloatware and those that are there are very useful, very nice speakers you can actually hear bass, i like the gesture controls, very responsive, you can use wifi 2 sim cards all at once to get fast and quality internet, 12gb RAM, Latest chipset… Only thing that is not so great is the wifi chip… they didn’t use QUALCOMM wifi chip instead they used their own inhouse wifi chip and its not too great… The Camera is so so, not complaining though… good buy for 50k… ohhh screen is excellent, it has aqua touch where u can use with wet hands, gloved hands and even have your finger print scanned even when wet… could have even been cheaper if I was a student and also if I had exchanged my older phone oneplus 9 pro for which they were giving 9500… I have no regrets buying this phone and neither will you…

OnePlus 13S Review: A Fantastic Performer in a Compact, Premium Package
The OnePlus 13S is hands down one of the best phones in its price segment. Its compact design is a breath of fresh air in a market full of bulky devices. The build feels premium from every angle — sleek, solid, and stylish.
Performance-wise, it’s flawless. Apps open instantly, multitasking is butter-smooth, and there’s zero lag even during heavy usage. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or switching between work apps, the speed and responsiveness never disappoint.
If you’re looking for a powerful phone that looks great, feels compact in the hand, and delivers top-tier performance without breaking the bank — the OnePlus 13S is an easy recommendation.
