We might already have the best phone of 2025. And it's a model that costs less than $1000. That might seem like an exaggeration, but hear me out. Because I'm having a hard time seeing how *anyone* else is going to be able to deliver something as good as the OnePlus 13 for anywhere near its $899 starting price.
That's kind of amazing, but, as a long-term OnePlus follower I've witnessed the rebirth of the brand that began with the OnePlus 11 and has only seen it go from strength to strength since then.
The 13 feels like the culmination of that journey. And it's a warning shot to the likes of Samsung, as *it* prepares what appears to be another year of pretty iterative Galaxy upgrades.
I've had this phone for around a month and a half at the time this video is going out. It's time to jump into why the #oneplus13 COULD be the best phone of 2025.... And also some thoughts on why STILL it might not be for you.
