Buying call

Buy the OnePlus 13R if battery life is your top priority in a midrange phone: it lasted 18 h 49 min in one test on a 6,000 mAh cell and charges at 80W. It launched at $599.99, $100 under the OnePlus 15R, and keeps the 2x telephoto the 15R lost. Skip it if you want long support or wireless charging: it gets four Android upgrades and six years of security patches, short of the seven years Samsung and Google offer, and it has no Qi charging. Its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is also two generations old, and it weighs 206 g.
