Which should you buy?
The OnePlus 13R edges ahead on the Mars Score (64.5 vs 71.3), but the 6.8-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Phone (2) if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. The biggest gaps in its favor are front camera, weight, wireless charging.
Pick the OnePlus 13R if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. Its strongest claims are wired charging, antutu, battery capacity, among others.
