These things are looking very attractive. My Galaxy S20 FE is getting a little long in the tooth, and the Oneplus 13 seems to check all the boxes.

There is a promo from the Oneplus store in NZ (Jan 7 to 17) that includes a case and a NZ plug 80 W charger, which given the 1.5-2 day battery life that MKBHD mentions, seems to be a decent deal.

Does anyone have any info about the availability of this at other retailers in NZ, along with pricing details?

Ooohh, haven't seen this type of thread being started for OnePlus before.

Sammy has disappointed again this year keeping the same 5000mAh battery and 45W charging speed so looking at the 13 this year.

Looked at all the reviews on YT, sounds like the battery life is going to be epic with 6000mAh with SD 8 Elite.

PB have OnePlus Nords and I think they had the 11 and 12 previously, not sure if they will do 13 this year.

There is thread over at reddit about the online you mentioned which they think is a scam:

https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/184z13f/psa_buyer_beware_fake_oneplus_authorised_online/

Few online stores where you can get OnePlus 13 from overseas (Chinese versions at this stage but maybe global versions soon):

https://www.giztop.com

Global version sales start from 13 Jan on Ali (note - price listed is likely just a placeholder): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008239013513.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.7dfd38daWOY8QB&mp=1

Wow. Good to know about the dodgy website. I never would have picked it by just looking, but I agree, the Whatsapp only contact details thing looks dodgy as anything.

Could a mod please bork the link in my first post so that no one ends up accessing the site from there?

That aside, what do people think of the phone from various reviews, etc.?

Oneplus 13 looks very interesting... Sadly I won't be purchasing one... There are enough quirks with my Oneplus 12 that I have a Pixel 7a in my hand to trial before I give up on Android all together.

Likely it will support all 3 main carriers with VoLTE, VoWiFi and 5G across the broad.

Haven't seen Nik around lately so unfortunately if Nik could comment or not(maybe this will summon him) to confirm if PB is ranging the 13. Wouldn't be surprised if not.

Ok, I took a risk and ordered from the NZ OnePlus store OP had mentioned (link since removed) since it's the cheapest I can find that ships to NZ, even cheaper than Ali.

So order placed at lunchtime on Tuesday and its due to arrive tomorrow according to DHL tracking ETA, but won't get my hands on it until Monday since I had it sent to work and will not be heading into the office until then.

No custom duty to pay (customs has given the parcel a release status)

Shipment coming from Singapore.

Order processing and shipping speed is impressive so far.

FYI for those that are interested.

I'll have to backtrack on my comment about it being a scam...

I'd really like to get my hands on one to have a look in person before getting off the flagship Samsung Train.

I'm very curious if the slider bug is still a thing on the 13.

On the 12, if you have any web browser open and you use the slide to change from let's say Sound to Vibrate only, it will essentially CTRL + F.

The above bug, plus some other gripes with memory management and some applications is exactly why I am giving up. Pixel 7a is so far treating me better but that has some issues but let's not derail the thread!

Got my new precious today, still setting things up but a couple of photos for you 'all to salivate over:

In hand feel is great, definitely slimmer than the S24U and not as boxy on the edges, even though the 13 has the straight edges but still subtle curves.

Definitely lighter than the S24U despite the big camera bump on the back, surprisingly doesn't rock as much when placing it on table. @networkn - this might be a plus for you.

@MaxineN - the bug with the alert slider while browsing in Chrome is still there unfortunately :-(

The website I ordered from - https://oneplusmobile.co.nz/ is legit, all the boxes in the photo arrived sealed.

Obviously not sure about their warranty service and hopefully I won't need to use it.

The promo with free case and charger has been extended by the looks of it for anyone who might be interested.

I'll test out the VoWiFi, VoLTE and 5G side of things from all three main carriers and report back.

Fire any questions through and will try to answer.

That's insane. I wonder if this is a hardware key within Android it's triggering to do the volume action and this cannot be fixed.

In saying that, I never saw this on the Oneplus 8 when I owned the OP8(or two of them).

It does look nice. I imagine VoLTE, VoWiFI, 5G and even eSIM will work on all 3 as they do on the 12, the 11 and the 10 and the 9 (experimental support started on the 9).

Just to confirm, this is the international version with full support for the Google Play store, right?

Yes, this is the global/international version model CPH2653 with Google Play pre-installed on OxygenOS 15.

Chinese version model PJZ110 has ColorOS 15 installed.

Just curious - does this bug still exist if using a different browser? I can't see it being a major issue either way, but I tend to use Brave or Opera on mobiles.
