OnePlus 13R vs Samsung Galaxy S26+

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 S26+

The S26+ adopts a more "Ultra-like" design with less rounded corners for a unified family look. The Armor Aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection are solid. At ~7.3mm thin and ~190g, it's comfortable to hold.

• The more angular design brings it closer to the Ultra aesthetic — Samsung is creating a more unified design language across the S26 family
• IP68 water resistance and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 mean the S26+ remains one of the more durable options in its class
