There are almost 6.000h in the little OnePlus 13s

Manufacturers have been increasing years The size and price of phones. So much that a 6.3 -inch device today is a compact device, and the standard is raised about seven inches. The more useful surface the motherboard has, the more space there is for its components. But the small smartphone still has potential. And if not, tell them to Sales of The iPhone 15 and 16 or the Pixel 9 Pro.

In this premium mobile line, relatively compact and with practically all the specs that can be requested, the OnePlus 13s is born. It is, next to Samsung Galaxy S25one of the few compact mobiles with the best market processor. A phone that will not be sold in Spain, but we have not wanted to stop throwing the glove through the cry to the sky that represents: Small mobiles can have everything.

OnePlus 13s Technical Card

Small and well finished. The OnePlus 13s, of OnePlus 13it only has the name. It is a completely new design, different from what we have historically seen in the high -end family of the Chinese manufacturer. It is also different from any OnePlus Nord that we have analyzed in recent years.

It has a glass and aluminum finish, a fairly discreet camera module, and one of the best sensations in hand in any compact mobile. Being so “small” (15 centimeters high), you get perfectly to the volume and ignition buttons, although they are somewhat higher in the account.

The screen is great. 1.5K resolution, LTPO type (can move between 1 and 120 Hz) and with compatibility with both HDR10+ as with Dolby Vision. The brightness is 1,600 nits something that It may seem especially low. The reality is that the panel looks great in the sun and, although it is not one of the best, not promising absurd peak glitters that are only appreciated in specific pixels and HDR content is not a bad practice.

Being smaller, it is much more ergonomic than the OnePlus 13. I have not missed more inches (I do not consume much multimedia in this format) nor do I consider that, really, it is a small mobile.

This button sounds to me. And, speaking of buttons, The Alert Slider says goodbye to embrace a programmable volume button. OnePlus has been inspired (and quite) in Apple for its interface, which allows access to the following elements:

• Mind Space
• Sound and vibration
• Do not disturb
• Camera
• Flashlight
• Recorder
• Translate
• Screen capture
• No action

The main novelty is the Mind Space. It is an independent app that allows you to record, summarize and archive screen content through AI. Just leave the button to analyze the contents, which will be saved in the app. It is a function that reminds a lot of Essential Space of Nothing And that, in my particular case, I can’t find especially useful.

It is not the only novelty in AI, this OnePlus is finally added to the car of the functions seen in other devices with Gemini Nano: Native Gemini Integration, translator APP, photographs edition … OnePlus, at least in this device released in China, adds to an already essential trend to lead in telephony.

The best hardware of the moment. We have been thinking that if a mobile is small, it has to make hardware concessions. It is not so. This phone comes with the Snapdragon 8 Elite12 GB of LPDDR5X type RAM, storage of 512 GB and a 4,400mm² vapor chamber. Yes, there are also small mobiles with steam chamber.

The battery is 5,850mah and Silicon-carbona simply spectacular capacity for a device with this size. During the time I have passed with him, autonomy has seemed especially good. It is a telephone that does not even drain even taking photos in full sun, recording video or passing the most demanding benchmarks.

It is the best proof that, even if it is a small phone, the hardware does not have to have cuts. Including battery. This phone has each and every one of the features that a flagship has to have, neither more nor less.

The cameras. OnePlus style. Quite processed photographs, with more account and excess contrast. It is not a muscle problem: it carries a sensor Lytia 900 of the latest generation Sony, the same as some phones of almost 1,500 euros. It is not, eye, a bad camera. The photographs are Pintones and will convince most users. But I am sure that he will not fight for a top 3 this year.

The second camera is a 2x teleobjective that allows zoom 4x Lossless (I do not lose just quality) I liked the behavior, since it does not lose too much quality with respect to the main sensor, despite being much smaller. OnePlus has dispensed with the ultra wide angle on this phone and, call me crazy, but I prefer that it is not if your quality is mediocre.

Record up to 4K (this processor supports up to 8K), it is incredibly fast shooting and it is one of those cameras where you take out the mobile pocket, you take the photo you are thinking (without surprises in the processing) and voila. It is not outstanding, but notable.

Power, you can. This mobile is a very clear reflection that, if the industry has turned to increasingly large mobiles, it has been for a combination of economy of scale, market demand and large margins by selling “ultra and max” devices. The mobile less than six inches is completely deadand those that remain below 6.5 are seen as “compact.”

The OnePlus 13s will not be sold in Spain. An indirect message to a market in which It is especially complicated to succeed Being the little one in the family. Despite this, I can say it without tapping: this is the OnePlus that I liked the most to date, and a very clear proof that the compact mobile has a lot to offer.
