Though it is not, OnePlus 13R delivers an impressive flagship juxtaposition

There can of course be an argument that an ‘affordable flagships’ don’t exactly deliver value. Equally, they do. The proposition is quite simple—try to replicate a flagship phone, inevitably more expensive due to the higher spec hardware alongside bells and whistles, but cull a few things to keep the accountants happy. The OnePlus 13R is exactly that in the hierarchy that includes the flagship OnePlus 13. Improvements across the board, but that said, it isn’t about to punch above its weight. Yet, its risky to underestimate the proposition, particularly when the price tags are weighed against the flagship sibling.
