Which should you buy?
These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (68.7 vs 71.3). The decision isn't about overall quality — both clear the bar — it's about which specific trade-offs fit your use.
Pick the Phone (3) 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, pixel density, among others.
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, battery capacity, antutu, among others.
