Black Friday is only a few weeks away, and we’re already seeing great deals pop up out of the woodwork. Case in point: the OnePlus 13. For a limited time, you can buy the 256GB OnePlus 13 for $750 in Black Eclipse and the 512GB OnePlus 13 for $850 in either Black Eclipse or Midnight Ocean (blue).

The OnePlus 13 is the company’s most recent flagship smartphone, and it’s a top-notch device — earning ZDNET’s coveted Editors’ Choice Award for April 2025. We praised the model “because it nails all the fundamentals of a great smartphone experience while leading the market in some regards,” ZDNET’s Kerry Wan wrote in his review.
It features the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 6,000mAh Silicon NanoStack battery, 80W fast charging, and a high resistance rating of IP69. This means the phone is completely sealed against dust and can survive brief submersion underwater. At a glance, this seems excessive, but according to Wan, “it’s a benefit that users will appreciate when they least expect it”.

Photography is another area where the OnePlus 13 shines. Its triple-lens system captures bright, highly detailed images, although post-processing can create overly saturated pictures. I also can’t forget to mention the stylish design, which flaunts a vegan leather backing that makes the phone visually striking and comfortable.
How I rated this deal
As per ZDNET’s rating system, I give the deal a score of 2/5. $150 off the 256GB OnePlus 13 is a decent discount, but it’s not the lowest it has ever been. I have seen better, and there’s a chance that a lower price may appear during Black Friday. A steeper price drop is not a guarantee, so I recommend taking advantage of this deal while it lasts.
As per OnePlus, this deal ends on November 5.
