OnePlus 13s: If you were also planning to buy an iPhone and Apple’s new ‘slightly cheaper’ iPhone 16e has caught your attention, then wait a moment. Now the OnePlus 13s has arrived in the market – and it competes directly with the iPhone 16e not only in looks but also in features. Not only this, it also leaves it behind in many cases. So let’s know why OnePlus 13s can prove to be a more sensible deal than iPhone 16e.
Enjoy a bigger and smoother screen
Talking about the display, the experience of OnePlus 13s is quite great. In this, you get a 6.32-inch OLED screen, which has 1.5K resolution, 1600 nits brightness, Dolby Vision and a variable refresh rate of 1 to 120Hz due to LTPO technology. This means that the screen becomes fast and smooth when you want, and can also slow down to save battery when not needed.
Now look at the iPhone 16e – it has a 6.1-inch screen, which is OLED but comes with only 60Hz refresh rate. Today, when even mid-range Android phones are offering refresh rates of 120Hz or above, this Apple phone seems a bit behind. If you want a smooth and refreshing user experience, then OnePlus 13s will satisfy you more.
OnePlus’s trickery was also seen in the camera
Now let’s talk about the camera – where the iPhone 16e seems a bit weak compared to its price range. It only has a single 48MP rear camera, and Apple claims that this sensor can give “2x zoom”, but in reality it is only a digital crop, not a real optical zoom.
In comparison, in OnePlus 13s you also get a 50MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto camera, which has 2x optical zoom – meaning true zoom without losing quality. And not only this, the selfie camera is also 32MP in OnePlus 13s which comes with autofocus, while the iPhone 16e has a 12MP selfie camera. So whether it is front camera or back – OnePlus is ahead in every way.
There is no competition in battery and charging too
As far as battery is concerned, OnePlus has given a big shock to the compact phone – a massive 5,850mAh battery! And also 80W fast charging, which charges your phone in minutes. On the other hand, the battery of iPhone 16e is around 4,005mAh (which is not confirmed yet), and its charging speed is also around 20W.
Now think, when your phone will do big work, will last longer and will also get charged quickly – then what else do you need?
OnePlus in low price too
Now if the iPhone 16e was really cheaper than the OnePlus 13s, then maybe things would have been different. But it is not so. The price of iPhone 16e in India starts at ₹59,999 – that too for just 128GB of storage. On the other hand, OnePlus 13s comes with 256GB of storage at a price of ₹54,999. Meaning more storage, more features, and yet lower prices – OnePlus has outdone Apple here too.
