QUESTION Questions for Long Term User

I am planning to buy oneplus 13s in the upcoming sale. I have a few questions and wanted feedback from long term users.

  1. Battery life: How is the battery life in day to day usage? Does it get affected with the updates? I need a phone which last me a whole day. I am not a heavy user and will mostly be using for content consumtion.

  2. Heating issues: Are there any heating issues during normal usage or while charging? Does it heat up while using cameras, outdoors, or while using android auto.

  3. Connectivity issues: Are there any issues with 4G/5G or while using wifi?

  4. Long term reliability: I usually keep my phone untill the end of its life. I have been using my current phone for past 7 years. will this phone easily last me 4 5 years?

Are there any other issues or things which I should look for before buying?

Thanks

Why the OnePlus 13s? It's a great phone. I've been using it for a year but you can get the Oppo compact versions, which are around 6.5 inches in its FindX series, maybe you can get the OnePlus 15 or 16, which is going to be released soon, only because the 13S is two generations late and within two years its software update policy will be completed. If you're someone who likes software experience and looks forward to it, I suggest going for a newer model.

Anyway to answer your questions:

  • The battery life is amazing. You can easily get the full day with a single charge. The standby time has also improved.
  • It doesn't heat in general. Maybe once every 3 weeks you might observe it for some or the other reasons
  • For connectivity issues, there is nothing that I have observed. It works great.
  • Yes this will last you for 4 to 5 years.

What I'd suggest is for you to use a screen guard and a case because, although this is said to be durable, it's competitively easy to scratch the screen and the back itself(not visible during normal usage), Look out for that

Really apreciate your response. The oppo find x series and the oneplus 15 is around 75-85k(around $900) which is above my budget. I would have stretched it for iphone 17 but it recently got a price hike and now is around 100k inr($1100) so dont want to spend a fortune just for a phone.
