But the OnePlus 13 might be the better phone, anyway. It\u2019s certainly cheaper.<\/p>\n<p>You can pick up the base 12\/256GB unit for $700 and the upgrade to 16\/512GB is $100 more. Even though it is a previous gen chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is still one of the fastest around and the 6.82\u201d 1440p+ LTPO OLED is great.<\/p>\n<p>The phone is equipped with three 50MP cameras on the back, including a main with a 1\/1.43\u201d sensor and a 3x\/73mm periscope. This part is arguably better than the OnePlus 15. The 6,000mAh battery on the old model doesn\u2019t last as long as the 7,300mAh on the new one (but with a 15:28h Active Use score, it can still last a busy day).<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/oneplus_13-13477.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/oneplus-13.jpg\" alt=\"OnePlus 13\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another alternative that steps outside the usual choice of \u201cApple or Samsung\u201d is the Nothing Phone (3). This one is a bit cheaper than the OnePlus at equivalent memory tiers and it shows it too. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is a step below flagship level and so is the 6.67\u201d 1260p+ non-LTPO OLED display.<\/p>\n<p>This phone also has three 50MP cameras on the back, including a large 1\/1.3\u201d sensor in the main and a 3x periscope. The image quality isn\u2019t on the level of the Hasselblad-branded OnePlus camera, however (the last of its kind, probably, as the 15 switched to in-house camera tech). The smaller 5,150mAh battery doesn\u2019t last as long (12:56h Active Use score) and charging is slower (63% in 30 minutes, compared to 95% for the OnePlus 13).<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/nothing_phone_(3)_5g-13969.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nothing-phone3.jpg\" alt=\"Nothing Phone (3)\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Note that both phones launched with Android 15 and Nothing promises one OS update more \u2013 a total of 5, compared to 4 from OnePlus. Both phones are already running Android 16, so that\u2019s one update down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\">We may get a commission from qualifying sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No, the OnePlus 15 still isn\u2019t available in the US and the OnePlus site hasn\u2019t been updated with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":316119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-316118","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
