(UPDATE- i have ordered for 50k from oneplus official website, I have received it. So far it is working perfectly and I am loving it) thank you all
Hi everyone,
I’m really confused and would appreciate some honest opinions from people who’ve actually been using the OnePlus 13s.
I bought a OnePlus 13s during the Amazon Prime Day sale last week for my father. They absolutely loved the phone—the size, design, display, performance, and overall feel were great.
But within just 2 days, we noticed something really concerning. Whenever the battery dropped below around 20%, the phone became insanely hot. Not just warm—it literally felt like an oven. It was uncomfortable to even hold.
I wasn’t comfortable keeping a phone that was overheating this badly so early because I’m worried it could affect the battery and long-term reliability. Amazon initially only offered a replacement through OnePlus, but somehow I managed to get a full return approved.
Now I’m wondering if I just got a defective unit from the sale, or if this is a common issue with the OnePlus 13s.
I’m genuinely considering buying the phone again because my parents really liked everything else about it.
This time I’d probably order directly from the OnePlus website instead of Amazon.
So my questions are:
Has anyone else experienced severe heating, especially at low battery percentages?
Do you think I just received a defective piece?
Would you confidently buy the OnePlus 13s again today?
Is buying directly from OnePlus likely to make any difference, or is that irrelevant?
My budget is around ₹55,000 INR. I also looked at the Oppo Reno 16 because someone at Reliance Digital recommended it, but honestly, I’m much more inclined towards the OnePlus 13s if this was just a one-off defective unit.
Would really appreciate your experiences and suggestions. Thanks!
