The OnePlus 13R is a $600 flagship phone that scales down from the $900 OnePlus 13 partly by using last year's Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and omitting wireless charging.

The OnePlus 13R has three cameras on the back, including a 50-megapixel wide camera, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera.

I found the OnePlus 13R to be particularly great at gaming, since last year's Qualcomm processor is still quite powerful for running games at their highest graphics settings. The phone might heat up, however.

The OnePlus 13R includes a 55-watt SuperVooc charger, which is quite fast for phones in this price range.

The 55-watt power adapter is a thick one compared to smaller and slower power adapters.
