OnePlus 13 Display Review: Strong Performance with Minor Trade-offs
OnePlus continues to push boundaries in the premium smartphone segment with its latest flagship, the OnePlus 13. As display technology becomes increasingly crucial for smartphone user experience, understanding how this new device performs in real-world conditions becomes essential for potential buyers.Display Specifications and PerformanceThe OnePlus 13 features a massive 6.82-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1440 x 3168 pixels and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The display supports multiple HDR standards including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HDR Vivid, positioning it as a serious contender in the premium segment. DXOMARK's comprehensive testing awarded the device 143 points, placing it at the 39th position in their global ranking.Brightness and Outdoor VisibilityOne of the most impressive aspects of the OnePlus 13's display is its brightness capabilities. The panel can reach 1600 nits in High Brightness Mode (HBM) and can push up to an impressive 4500 nits under specific conditions. The automatic brightness adjustment system performs admirably in both indoor and outdoor environments, though there are some compromises. When using HBM outdoors, the device shows some unnatural color reproduction, likely due to the implementation of OnePlus's RadiantView technology.Eye Care and Color AccuracyThe integration of DC dimming-driven Eye Care display technology proves to be a significant advantage, particularly for users sensitive to screen flickering. The display offers a Faithful mode that delivers accurate color reproduction, though users might notice some color shifting when viewing the screen at angles beyond 25 degrees. This implementation demonstrates OnePlus's commitment to both visual accuracy and user comfort.Video Performance and Low-Light BehaviorWhile the display excels in many areas, it shows some limitations in HDR and SDR video rendering under low-light conditions. DXOMARK's testing revealed suboptimal brightness, contrast, and color performance in these scenarios. However, the display significantly improves when used in bright indoor environments, suggesting that the device is optimized for typical daily usage conditions.Value PropositionDespite not claiming the top spot in display rankings, the OnePlus 13 offers a compelling package at its price point. Starting at USD 900 for the 12GB/256GB variant and USD 1,000 for the 16GB/512GB model, it presents a balanced combination of premium features and reasonable pricing in the flagship segment. The display's overall performance aligns well with the device's positioning as a premium yet value-conscious option in the market.The OnePlus logo exemplifies the brand's identity in the premium smartphone market
