OnePlus 13R vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

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 Z Fold 7

The Z Fold 7's redesign is its headline feature. At 8.9mm folded (down from 12.1mm on the Fold 6), it's finally thin enough to feel like a regular phone in your pocket. The new hinge mechanism is smoother, and the overall build quality inspires confidence.

• The 26% thinner design is a game-changer — it actually fits comfortably in a pocket now
• New FlexHinge 2.0 feels incredibly smooth and robust — confidence-inspiring build quality
