OnePlus 13s vs. Nothing Phone 3: The Nothing Phone 3 is now available in India after an almost two-year wait. People have taken notice of both its pricing and design. Users had previously assumed that this phone would be less expensive, but the company had already stated that it would be its first true flagship model. At the same time, it faces off against expensive smartphones like the OnePlus 13s. Which of these two phones is superior in which situation?

OnePlus 13s vs. Nothing Phone 3: Design

The most unique aspect of the Nothing Phone 3 is its design. In place of standard LED strips, it now features an innovative 25×25 matrix LED disk that can display the time, battery, compass, and other information on its semi-transparent rear panel. The camera is even more distinctive because of its triangle-shaped setup.

The OnePlus 13s, on the other hand, has a small and straightforward design. It weighs 185 grams and is only 8.15 mm thick. For those who prefer thin and light phones, the green silk variant with the metal frame and matte finish looks really high-end.

OnePlus 13s vs Nothing Phone 3: Display

The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen of the Nothing Phone 3 has a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, a dynamic refresh rate of 120 Hz, and 1.5K resolution. Also, it features Gorilla Glass 7i protection, 10-bit color, and HDR10+.

The 6.32-inch LTPO ProXDR display of the OnePlus 13s, on the other hand, is marginally smaller but has 1.5K resolution and an adjustable refresh rate of 1Hz to 120Hz. It supports Dolby Vision and has a brightness of 1,600 nits.

OnePlus 13s vs Nothing Phone 3: Battery life and performance

The Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU, which features two prime cores and clock speeds of up to 4.32GHz, powers the OnePlus 13s. It is excellent for multitasking and high-end gaming.

But the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor included in the Nothing Phone 3 is competent but not as strong as that found in the Elite. Typically, phones with this processor cost under Rs 40,000.

The OnePlus 13s boasts a sizable 5,850mAh battery with 80W fast charging, and a charger is included in the package. However, the Nothing Phone 3 lacks a charger despite having a 5,500mAh battery, 65W cable charging, 15W wireless charging, and 5W reverse charging. When it comes to thermal management, the OnePlus 13s has a 4,400mm² cooling system, but Nothing has made any note of it.

OnePlus 13s vs Nothing Phone 3: Camera

The three cameras on the Nothing Phone 3 are a 50MP primary, periscope telephoto (3x zoom), and ultrawide sensor. A 50MP front camera, which is uncommon in this category, is also included.

A 50MP Sony sensor and a 50MP telephoto lens make up the dual camera of the OnePlus 13s. The front of the device has a 32MP camera. Nothing’s camera selection is more varied, even though OnePlus’s camera software and processing should be upgraded.

OnePlus 13s vs Nothing Phone 3: Price

The price of the high-end Nothing Phone 3 starts at Rs 79,999 for the model with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. The 16GB RAM and 512GB storage version is also offered for Rs 89,999. It is available in black and white.

But in terms of cost, the OnePlus 13s is really alluring. It prices Rs 54,999 for the 12GB + 256GB version and Rs 59,999 for the 512GB version. Three color options are available for this phone: Pink Satin, Black Velvet, and a unique Indian Edition Green Silk.

Which is a better buy, the Nothing Phone 3 or the OnePlus 13s?

The OnePlus 13s is a terrific option if you want a powerful performance, superior thermal control, and an affordable price. But Nothing Phone 3 will appeal to you if you are looking for a flagship phone with a distinctive and stylish looks, wireless charging, and a special software experience.
