OnePlus 13R vs Samsung Galaxy S25 FE

OnePlus 13R

The OnePlus 13R adopts a squared-off design that feels premium at 8mm thin and 206g, lighter than its predecessor despite housing a larger battery.

• The squared-off design looks great and feels premium in hand, though flat edges can dig into palms during extended use
• At 8mm thin and 206g, the 13R is thinner and lighter than the 12R despite packing a larger 6,000mAh battery
• IP65 is an improvement over the 12R but falls short of IP68 submersion resistance that rivals offer at this price

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE

The S25 FE adopts the flat-edge design language of the S25 series, giving it a modern, premium look. However, build quality concerns have emerged, with the polycarbonate back and Gorilla Glass Victus scratching more easily than expected.

• Flat-edge design mirrors the mainline S25 series — it looks like a flagship from the outside
• IP68 water and dust resistance is a welcome inclusion at this price tier
