    LOL. Smaller battery, too. What exactly is an upgrade from the previous version? They went from a SD 7+ Gen 3 to an 8s Gen 3, which is barely an upgrade at all.

    I’m sure the price comparisons will vary based on country, but I’ve seen the OnePlus 13R below $500 pretty routinely on oneplus.com this year. Right now it’s $550 but if I remember right, it was cheaper at launch and a few times since.

      Didn’t you read the headline? It has a premium feel. I know when I buy products, the first thing I look for is what kind of feeling it gives me. Bonus points if that feeling is an abstract concept.

        I know you are being sarcastic, but that is pretty much how many people buy phones and cars. It’s a gas guzzler with barely 20MPG, requires premium gasoline, is unreliable and can only be serviced at specific dealerships for a top dollar? But it has a premium feel

        The entire luxury market would not exist otherwise.
