do ppl know that the actual MSRP is 1388, based on MM's shopee price? 1299 is the special PO price so its not really a price reduction if u consider the actual MSRP.
Actually now I see they adjusted to $1299 without strike through

OP13 will be warranty by Oppo Novena service center for 2 years for any non accidental damage

There isnt any free screen crack replacement unlike honor.

Green line issues let me check for you but it should be covered in SG as well since Oneplus has released officially that there is a lifetime warranty for green line issues
eh dun anyhow promise, coz the lifetime is only for india lolol

i play custom roms for so long and even tried to create my own custom roms, idk what you mean by:

mean alot of “security” are flashed le since these 2 are 1 lvl higher than google GMS

:s22: :s22: :s22:
Google gms is a basic feature which must exist on any Android phone that is non-apple or windows lumia.

While singpass and banking apps are state/entity owned.

To push a request to banking apps for them to

Why do people keep repeating this half ass misinformation ? The free green line replacement only applies to India.

Honestly seen almost all reviews on the OnePlus 13. It seems to be a very complete phone and very little tradeoffs. Only complaints I have seen is that panel in HDR does not seem to be very bright and software has minor bugs. Only other con seems to be the selfie camera that has no autofocus. I am actually keenly considering the OnePlus 13 over the S25 Ultra to upgrade from my S23 Ultra. I think the S25 Ultra does not offer much of an upgrade over my S23 Ultra other than the SOC which hardly makes any difference to me because I do not game on my mobile.

Also, I think OnePlus with OxygenOS is far better than others like Oppo and Honor. It seems to be very much more polished. So I actually think the OnePlus 13 will be actually a better buy over others at this point.
I think a lot of people also like you waiting to see S25 ultra first before deciding.

S25 series going down google route all in A.I. again, but their A.I. is really got google backing one not just gimmicks.

So it boils down to if you care about added A.I. features which will be the real differentiator between china phones and Samsuck/google moving forward. Phone hardware reaching a point of diminishing returns liao other than camera hardware which still got room to expand.

eh dun anyhow promise, coz the lifetime is only for india lolol

To be honest, I don't care much about A.I maybe more for productivity. I'm more old school for the way I use my phone and that too only for work.

Every thing today also A.I but for me, I value a good click and shoot camera, good speakers and a polished U.I reliable for banking apps and security. Security updates should at least be competent enough for basic security and safety.

To be honest, the S25 Ultra doesn't really offer an upgrade in battery technology and cameras. Everything seems to be software restricted in terms of models through OneUI. A.I could possibly be more at a hardware level on S25 Ultra but by and large, S23 to S25 looks and feel largely the same phone. And the bloat on OneUI also contributes to the drain on battery life. And the OnePlus 13 seems to be a good fit without risking any compromises. The biggest plus for me is the battery life and GSMArena just posted their review. Really impressive.

Only thing I'll miss about the Samsung is some good apps like Samsung Email but I can live with another client. The S25 Ultra may offer a higher trade in value for existing Samsung users, but I can't help but think it's largely going to be the same experience since each Samsung flagship phone since S23 really haven't improved main stuff like battery and cameras. It's getting tiring honestly.

DBS card can’t add to gpay is probably across all CN rom phones. IQOO with originOS also same. I tested UOB was okay though. I think even if want try flash, wait and see a while first to see if OTA updates will cause any issues or can even OTA or not. 12R had issues where if OTA will need to flash something to fix it or something.
Does this mean if a Oneplus 13 CN phone flashed to global rom OxygenOS will solve the problem for the DBS card cant add to Gpay?

Sounds like you're ready for the switch to OnePlus.

I am just not ready to backup my authenticators and files. But I admit the pull factor is strong. As they say, the force is strong with the OnePlus 13.

Authenticator should be quite easy to migrate what? Which authenticator app are you using?

It's my company Microsoft authenticator. Abit headache to backup. Need Office365 admin access to reset the authenticator. For normal Microsoft and Google, no issues since can backup to cloud.
