Last month, OnePlus India invited us to Sri Lanka to attend a briefing for its upcoming OnePlus 13 series smartphones, which includes the flagship OnePlus 13 as well as the OnePlus 13R.
While there, the company also took us on a trip around the country, where we participated in various activities including water sports, whale watching, and visiting local temples. Unfortunately, the whales were not visible – perhaps they were camera shy – but we still managed to get lots of great shots over three days, which was ultimately the purpose of the trip.
All images and videos seen below were shot on a OnePlus 13 using the latest firmware available at the time (15.0.0.307). All files come straight from the camera without any filters or editing. With that out of the way, let’s look at the samples.
Starting with the main camera of the OnePlus 13, we have a 50MP f1.6 Sony LYT-808 unit that produces stunning photos with deep colors and a great contrast.

The images also have an excellent level of detail that enables close examination.

Next up is the 50MP f2.0 ultra-wide camera with a Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor that delivers the all-important wide-angle perspective. Color and dynamic range are a good match for the main camera, with good levels of detail in well-lit environments.

Finally, there’s the turn of the 50MP f2.65 3x telephoto with a triprism lens and a Sony LYT-600 sensor. This was our favorite camera to shoot with because of its beautiful perspective and excellent image quality.

Not all images are in the default 3x mode. This is mixed with images shot in 6x mode, which still uses the same camera but with an even tighter crop which is great for separating subjects.

We also shot some images in XPAN mode, which is exclusive to Hasselblad-branded devices, and offers a unique perspective with its extremely wide 65:27 aspect ratio.

Finally, we have video samples shot in 4K at 60fps and 30fps. The videos were shot in SDR as there is no way to display Dolby Vision in YouTube videos at this time.
