Which should you buy?
The OnePlus 15 edges ahead on the Mars Score (71.3 vs 78.4), but the 7.1-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the OnePlus 13R if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are weight.
Pick the OnePlus 15 if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, wired charging, antutu, among others.
Both ship with comparable main camera, screen size, refresh rate, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
