OnePlus 13 vs. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra


The year 2024 is nearly coming to a close and it’s amazing to see that flagship smartphone launches are still going strong. In an effort to be one of the first out there with the most powerful processor on an Android phone, the OnePlus 13 has already launched in China. The new phone comes with a host of upgrades, built on the strengths of the OnePlus 12. We should expect the global launch to be sometime in January, if not sooner.

One of the best flagships of 2024 is easily the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. This $1,000+ smartphone is now a bit cheaper than when it launched and should be good competition to the OnePlus 13. It might not look it, but both phones have roughly the same screen size and share many features. If it’s the OnePlus 13 vs. Galaxy S24 UItra, which flagship do you choose?

OnePlus is finally breaking away from its typical design language for its flagships and is embracing the flat-frame mania. We now have a flat aluminium frame running along the sides of the OnePlus 13, with a 2.5D curve for the back and front panels. We haven’t held the phone yet, but it looks like it should be a comfortable fit. There’s a new blue colour which looks striking, especially against the silver camera dial. This shade is said to have a vegan-leather back panel. The black variant is supposed to have a wood-grain texture on the glass, while the white has a smooth glass finish.

Going by the specs of the Chinese model, the blue variant of the OnePlus 13 is 8.9mm thick and weighs 210g, while the glass variants are 8.5mm thick and weigh 213g. Both variants are actually slimmer and lighter than the OnePlus 12 and match the S24 Ultra in thickness.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is noticeably heavier at 232g, and appears larger due to the almost rectangular design with sharper corners. The display is completely flat though, which some might prefer over a slight curve along the edges. The Ultra is also a bit wider than the OnePlus 13 as it stores the S Pen stylus within the body. The Ultra comes in more colors than the 13, including three exclusive shades if you buy it via Samsung’s website.
