The sixth iteration of Samsung’s foldable has gone official today in Nepal. It brings a lighter chassis and other iterative upgrades over its predecessor. And we have a new massive price drop for this phone. In this article, let’s take a look at the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, its specifications, official price in Nepal, and availability.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Overview
An improved design and display
While it is not a design overhaul, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 brings a couple of distinctive changes. Firstly, the hinge has been redesigned alongside the internals to improve durability and fit a larger vapor chamber, and the overall dimensions have shifted to a more boxier approach.
That’s to say that the new Fold is a bit shorter (1.5mm) and wider (2.9mm) than the Fold 5. It is also lighter now weighing under 240 grams (239 grams) which is just around the mark of what regular flagships weigh.
Furthermore, the new design also makes the fold more resistant against debris and dust particles earning it an IP48 rating against the IPX8 in the Fold 5. All that’s to say, Samsung is refining things here and tweaking things there in this iteration.
Because of the design change, the outer display is also slightly larger at 6.3 inches diagonally. The aspect ratio is also not as tall at 22.1:9 now. On the inside, you are greeted by a 7.6″ Infinity Flex screen with a 20.9:18 aspect ratio. Both inner and outer displays ship with an adaptive refresh rate from 1-120Hz while only the cover display gets Corning’s Gorilla Glass 2 protection (alongside the back glass).
On the performance side of things, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 features the best of Qualcomm. We are getting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip that has been specifically optimized for Galaxy phones. On the memory end, you get to choose between 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB variants (UFS 4.0) all configured with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM.
Besides that, Galaxy AI is also one of the highlights in the Z Fold. Since it’s a foldable, Samsung made sure to emphasize their innovative new features and their integration with the big screen and productivity.
You can use features like Circle to Search and Note Assist just like on the S24 series. Furthermore, One UI 6.1.1 is also optimized to take advantage of the foldable form factor for AI-based productivity. That includes features like Interpreter where two people can view translations from the cover and inner displays while Sketch transforms your sketches into gorgeous art using the power of AI. Finally, as expected, Samsung has promised a whopping 7 years of Android updates for the Z Fold 6.
Camera and Battery
There are a total of five different cameras spread out through the Z Fold 6. The rear shooters consist of a 50MP primary with OIS and 2X optical zoom, a 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and an ultrawide. The 12MP ultrawide has an aperture of f/2.2 with a 123º field of view. On the hole punch of the cover screen is a 10MP selfie camera while another shooter is hidden behind the foldable screen on the inside.
Like with the camera setup, we don’t see any kind of improvements on the battery hardware. You are still getting a modest 4,400 mAh cell(s) with 25W fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and 4.5W reversed wireless charging.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Price in Nepal and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 price in Nepal now starts at NPR 214,999 for the 12/256GB trim. Meanwhile, the 12/512GB version costs NPR 229,999 in Nepal. Customers can get a silicone or clear case for free or add NPR 4,000 to get an even better S Pen case.

Meanwhile, check out our Samsung Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus review video:
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is finally official in Nepal with all the AI features and flagship specs. Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the 2024 flagship phone from Samsung is jampacking impressive AI features, quad cameras with a new 5X telephoto lens, a titanium frame, and whatnot! And we have a price drop on this flagship guy in Nepal. In this article, we’ll walk through the specs, features, current offers, and official price of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in Nepal.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Price in Nepal
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra price in Nepal is NPR 159,999 for the 256GB variant, down from the NPR 185,000 price tag. Samsung Nepal is also offering 1-year breakage insurance for free. From our affiliate partner, Hukut Store, you can also buy it on 0% EMI by paying a 40% down payment.
Samsung has been using its own “Armor Aluminum” frame in its flagship phones so far. But on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung has replaced it with a titanium alloy frame which is a heavier metal than aluminum. Just like how Apple went from stainless steel to titanium on the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max (review). Despite this, the S24 Ultra is 1 gram lighter than the S23 Ultra, weighing 233 g. Likewise, you get a built-in S-pen too.
Up front, Galaxy S24 Ultra sports a tall 6.8-inch Super AMOLED 2X screen. This QHD+ panel has a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz and hits up to 2600 nits of peak brightness. It gets Corning Gorilla Glass Armor protection. Interestingly enough, Samsung has gone with a completely flat display this time compared to the older models’ subtle display curvature. The phone is available in 4 colors: Black, Violet, Grey, and Yellow. As always, you get exclusive color options on Samsung’s official site: Titanium Blue, Titanium Green, and Titanium Orange.
Color Options
1 of 2
A new 5x camera
Samsung has been using quad-rear cameras since the debut of the Galaxy S21 Ultra (review), with two of them being telephoto units providing 3x and 10x optical zoom. But this time, a new addition is here; a 5X zoom lens. Which sounds like a degrade from the 10X optical zoom camera from its predecessors. But the resolution is now bumped to 50MP from which, Samsung claims a 10X optical quality zoom.
While the 3X telephoto lens is here to stay. Other than that, the primary sensor is a 200MP shooter while the ultrawide camera is a 12MP unit. With this setup, the Galaxy S24 Ultra provides quad zooming options: 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x. And of course, you also get the 100X zoom digitally. Upfront, there is a 12MP snapper for selfies and video calls.
Shoot video up to 8K 60 fps
In terms of videos, the S24 Ultra can shoot 8K videos at 60fps. What’s more interesting is the ability to capture 4K res videos at up to 120 fps for slow-mo videos at 4K resolution.
Under the hood, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. With slightly overclocked CPU cores than the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Handling the graphics is the Adreno 750 GPU. As is known, this flagship silicon supports Ray Tracing too.
With this, Samsung claims a 41% NPU, 30% GPU, and 20% CPU improvements over the 8 Gen 2. And unlike the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus, the S24 Ultra doesn’t have an Exynos variant. Besides that, it features 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.
Software and Galaxy AI
Software-wise, it boots on One UI 6.1 based on Android 14. The South Korean company is offering a whopping 7 years of software updates with this phone. So your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra can run up to Android 21.
Samsung is also going big on artificial intelligence with the Galaxy S24 series. Galaxy AI includes a host of generative AI features like live call translation, circle to Google search, a dynamic lock screen, a smart keyboard, and more. Furthermore, the AI is also available for image editing. For instance, upscaling a digitally zoomed image or erasing objects and such.

Similarly, it also supports up to 15W wireless charging and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. Connectivity options include 5G, WiFi 7, GPS, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port. So with all the hardware and software upgrades, the Galaxy S24 Ultra looks like a powerhouse of a smartphone that sets the benchmark for flagship phones in 2024.

To help you stay on top of your health, we’ve been coming up with our pick for the best fitness trackers and budget smartwatches available in Nepal. While such devices suffice for many, some prefer a premium smartwatch experience with a whole lot more features. So in this article, we’ll be taking a look at the best smartwatch you can buy right now in Nepal.
How to find the best smartwatch in Nepal in 2025?
Almost all the major smartwatch makers sell their flagship offerings in Nepal. Including Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Amazfit, and more. It probably goes without saying that if you own an iPhone and are in the Apple ecosystem, then you can’t go wrong with an Apple Watch. However, until 2022, Apple’s selection of smartwatches used to be pretty simple. If you want the best Apple has to offer, get the latest Watch Series. Or if you want to save a few bucks, then the “Watch SE” lineup will serve you perfectly fine as well.
However, 2022’s Apple Watch Ultra significantly changed this landscape. Besides being the most premium Apple Watch to date, it was also designed with extreme outdoor sports in mind. Whereas if you don’t want an Apple Watch, then there are some equally appealing options in Nepal too.
Like the Apple Watch Ultra, the Amazfit “T-Rex” lineup has a couple of great rugged smartwatches that work with both Android and iOS devices. Amazfit’s regular GTR and GTS series are excellent non-rugged, everyday smartwatches as well. Similarly, Huawei’s Watch GT lineup and Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 series are also something you can consider for a premium smartwatch experience.
Best smartwatch in Nepal (2025):
6. Amazfit Falcon
We’re kicking off our list of the best smartwatch in Nepal with the Amazfit Falcon. This is a rugged smartwatch that’s specially designed for outdoor activities. As a result, it has a big, burly design and all the durability-oriented features you can think of. For example, Amazfit Falcon has a titanium unibody design and it has passed 15 military-grade tests (MIL-STD-810G). It’s even guaranteed to work in extremely low-temperature conditions as low as -40°C!
The Falcon is also among the very few smartwatches with 20 ATM water resistance. Meaning it can even handle water pressure at a depth of 200 meters! Furthermore, it has dual-band GPS with 6 satellite positioning systems too. You see, traditional smartwatches only support L1 GPS which is pretty vulnerable to signal interference from tall trees, high buildings, and similar physical structures. But with Amazfit Falcon’s dual-band GPS that supports the L5 signal as well, you’ll be getting much better navigational positioning here.
Route import
To help plan and navigate your hiking, cycling, or other exercise trails, you can also import the routes as GPX files directly into this smartwatch. Or download offline maps directly to the watch. Amazfit Falcon can even suggest the shortest route back to the start of your journey in case you get lost in the middle of your hike or in any other emergency.
As for the display, the Falcon has a 1.28-inch OLED screen with sapphire crystal glass and 1000 nits of peak brightness for excellent outdoor visibility. The battery life of this rugged smartwatch is also incredibly impressive. Amazfit says it can last up to 14 days under typical or 7 days under heavy use cases. Even with continuous GPS usage with accuracy mode turned on, the Falcon is rated to go as long as 21 hours!
Besides being a fantastic smartwatch for your outdoor adventures, this is a great fitness tracker as well. It supports over 160 sports modes in total and it can automatically recognize a bunch of strength training exercises. You can even create personal training exercises for 11 different sports by customizing different aspects of the exercise like warm-up and warm-down periods, training interval, and more.
Amazfit Falcon Specifications:
Body: 49.45 x 47.2 x 12.95 mm, 64 grams (without strap), Titanium case
Alongside the Falcon, Amazfit also sells a couple of more rugged smartwatches in Nepal. Including the Amazfit Cheetah (NPR 44,399), Amazfit Cheetah Pro (NPR 59,999), and Amazfit T-Rex Ultra (NPR 66,499) are already available here. The Falcon is like Amazfit’s “one smartwatch to rule them all” kind of thing, while the rest of them miss out on a few features here and there.
5. OnePlus Watch 2
The OnePlus Watch 2 is our next pick in this list of best smartwatch in Nepal. Now, you may already know that the original OnePlus Watch — the one that launched back in 2021 — was… not that great. It ran on the “RTOS” platform which was very limited in what you could do, while its health tracking side of things wasn’t that reliable either.
But with the OnePlus Watch 2, the company pretty much fixed all those issues. The Watch 2 now runs on Wear OS like Google and Samsung smartwatches, and it also uses Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip for smooth performance. And even for a Wear OS watch, this thing has a pretty impressive battery life of up to 100 hours on regular use. Or 48 hours in heavy use.
Two chips, two operating systems
That’s because, alongside the Snapdragon processor, the OnePlus Watch 2 also has a separate BES 2700 chip to handle most lightweight background tasks. What’s even more interesting is that this chip runs on that same RTOS platform for things like notifications, always on display, and more. So yeah, the OnePlus Watch 2 not only has two different processors, but it also has two different operating systems.
Besides performance, the second-gen OnePlus Watch also sees a massive improvement when it comes to health and fitness tracking. So it now has an upgraded optical heart rate sensor and an upgraded oximeter to track everything from your heart rate, sleep, stress, SpO2, and VO2 Max levels. The Watch 2 supports over 100 sports modes — including some specific measurements for outdoor running, skiing, and badminton — and it has dual-band GPS (L1, L5) as well.
OnePlus also made a few visual tweaks this time. The Watch 2 has the same circular dial as its predecessor and a couple of buttons on the side, although the one on the top now resembles a rotating crown like on an Apple Watch.
I say “resembling” because it doesn’t actually do anything. The other thing that’s kinda disappointing about it is that the OnePlus Watch 2 is quite heavy and it’s only available in a single 46mm case. Which can look rather comical if you have tiny wrists. But if that doesn’t bother you, and you’re looking for a Wear OS smartwatch with great battery life, this is a solid choice.
OnePlus Watch 2 Specifications:
Body: 47 x 46.6 x 12.1 mm, 80 grams (with strap), Stainless steel case
Moving on, the recently launched Huawei Watch GT 5 series also finds its way on our list of best smartwatch in Nepal. It includes the standard Watch GT 5 and the Watch GT 5 Pro, and we found both of them to be excellent at pretty much everything. From a premium, durable design to excellent health and fitness tracking, and multi-day battery life, the Watch GT 5 series ticks a lot of boxes. For a lot of folks.
The best part is that the standard Watch GT 5 already brings like… 99% of everything you get on the Pro model at almost half the price. There are a couple of health monitoring features exclusive to the GT 5 Pro — and it’s also the only one with a sapphire crystal glass protecting the display — but that’s about it.
Huawei Watch GT 5
And if you ask me, there are exactly three standout things about the Watch GT 5 series. Let’s start with their health tracking because Huawei has completely redesigned its health monitoring tech this year. The company says it has worked on everything from the materials used to the way the sensors are set up, the algorithms for improved data accuracy, faster readout, and more.
A couple of A+ health trackers
And… yep. We found the GT 5 duo to be a perfectly reliable health and fitness tracker. Be it heart rate, sleep, or SpO2 levels, these two smartwatches managed to log those values with remarkable accuracy. For the first time ever, the Watch GT 5 series can now take blood oxygen readings in just 15 seconds like on an Apple Watch. Whereas if you’re all about staying fit, I bet you’re gonna have a field day with everything they have to offer.
Similarly, the performance and software experience of these two is equally amazing. Huawei hasn’t specified what chip it’s using, how much memory it has or any of those things, but what you need to know is that the custom “HarmonyOS 5.0” is incredibly well-designed and feels incredibly responsive to use.
There’s no Play Store support (and even the pool of third-party apps you can install is quite limited), although some of you guys may be perfectly fine with that. ‘Cause what you get in return is fantastic battery life that’s simply impossible on a Wear OS watch. Huawei says you can expect up to 7/14 days of standby time depending on the case size so… battery anxiety is a thing of the past on Huawei’s smartwatches.
Huawei Watch GT 5 and GT 5 Pro Specifications:
Body: Stainless steel / Titanium alloy frame
GT 5 (41mm): 41.3 x 41.3 x 9.5 mm, 35 gm
GT 5 (46mm): 45.8 x 45.8 x 10.7 mm, 48gm
GT 5 Pro (42mm): 42.49 x 42.49 x 9.6 mm, 44 gm
GT 5 Pro (46mm): 46.3 x 46.3 x 10.9 mm, 53 gm
Strap: Fluoroelastomer, Leather, Woven, Milanese
Color options: Black, Blue, White, Titanium, Brown
The next entry in our list of the best smartwatch in Nepal is the Apple Watch Series 10. It’s the successor to the Watch Series 9 (review), which is still available in Nepal in limited quantities by the way. Anyway, Apple’s recent smartwatch launches have been almost predictably iterative in recent years. And that’s the case with the Watch Series 10 as well.
So it’s slightly bigger, slimmer, and lighter than Series 9, the display has also gotten a bit bigger, and… that’s pretty much it.
And because Series 10 is a bit bigger this time, it’s available in 42 and 46mm case sizes. Instead of the usual 41mm and 45mm options. And you can either get it with an aluminum or titanium case this year, which is a first for Apple’s non-Ultra smartwatches. As for the color options, this smartwatch is available in Jet Black, Rose Gold, Silver, Slate, Gold, and Natural finishes depending on the case material.
Apart from this, it is also IP6X dustproof and WR50 certified against water damage up to 50 meters. But the display protection material on the aluminum and titanium steel variants is quite different. You see, while the aluminum variant is layered with Ion-X glass, the titanium models get much tougher sapphire crystal glass instead. So you know which one to get if long-term durability is a big concern.
One “big” upgrade
Taling about display, the 46mm Watch Series 10 actually has the biggest display out of any Apple Watch so far. Even bigger than what you get on the Ultra watches. This thing also has a new S10 chip, but I should tell you that it’s practically the same as the S9 chip on the Watch Series 9. It’s just… tweaked a little to play nice with the thin-and-light build of the watch.
Getting to the health tracking side of things, the Watch Series 10 doesn’t really have any new tricks up its sleeves. There are a few new features this time, including the “Vitals” app that tracks a bunch of things to look for any signs of illness, sleep apnea detection, and more… although all of them are enabled by the new watchOS 11 platform. Instead of something that’s exclusive to the Series 10. That means everything I just talked about will be available on older Apple Watches, going back to Series 6 that launched in 2020.
Apple Watch Series 10 Specifications:
Body: Aluminum / titanium frame
42mm: 42 x 36 x 9.7mm, 30 / 34.4 gm
46mm: 46 x 39 x 9.7mm, 36.4 / 41.7 gm
Strap: Rubber, Textile, Stainless steel straps
Color options: Jet Black, Rose Gold, Silver, Slate, Gold, Natural
Or if you don’t have the budget for Apple’s premium smartwatches, you can also consider the relatively more affordable Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen). It misses out on a few things like ECG, SpO2 measurement, and temperature sensing compared to the Series 10, but those sacrifices could be worth the price difference for most folks.
But before we get to the best of the best, our pick for the runner-up is the Galaxy Watch 7. Samsung sadly didn’t bother with a “Classic” model last year — for the fans of that rotating bezel — although the regular Watch 7 itself turned out to be such an interesting upgrade. Especially in terms of performance.
So the Watch 7 has Samsung’s new Exynos W1000 chip. Based on a 3nm process, this is easily the most powerful processor Samsung has put out for its wearable. And you can actually feel that jump in performance during everyday use. The Exynos W1000 apparently has a “three times faster CPU” than the Exynos W930 on the Galaxy Watch 6 series, and this is the first time when we were truly happy with the performance on a Galaxy watch.
All this has been complemented by the latest Wear OS 5 software as well, on top of the One UI 6 skin that brings quite a refreshing visual aesthetics. You can also use the “double-pinch” gesture for certain actions now — like on an Apple Watch — whereas the Watch 7’s software experience is only going to get better over the years. Thanks to the 4 years of updates that Samsung promises.
Finally an upgraded sensor
And after being introduced with the Galaxy Watch 4 (review) series back in 2021, Samsung’s “BioActive” sensor has finally seen an upgrade too. Samsung promises better accuracy in everything from heart rate, stress, sleep, to blood oxygen monitoring with this thing. And yeah, we found its health tracking to be a bit more reliable than previous Galaxy watches.
Especially in dynamic conditions like when recording a workout. The Galaxy Watch 7 also has dual-band GPS now, but we still didn’t find it as reliable as we would’ve liked.
Other than this, the Watch 7 isn’t much different from older Samsung watches. It’s got that same circular dial, a bright AMOLED display, and a pretty robust build quality. The battery life here isn’t as great as other Wear OS smartwatches like the OnePlus watch 2 I discussed before, but the Galaxy Watch 7 is an excellent flagship watch that covers all the bases.
And our top pick in this list of the best smartwatch in Nepal is the Apple Watch Ultra 2. There’s no sugarcoating it — this is a ridiculously overpowered smartwatch and it’s simply an overkill for most wearable enthusiasts. But if you’re into extreme outdoor sports and want the very best that Apple has to offer, the Watch Ultra 2 is about as good as it gets.
Okay, since this thing is geared toward outdoor sports enthusiasts, durable build quality is pretty much a given. Unlike basically every other Apple Watch so far, the Ultra gets a flat display which is much less prone to impact damage. This big 49mm case is made out of corrosion-resistant titanium while the watch’s base gets ceramic and sapphire build material.
Besides this, the iconic rotating crown and the side button have also been reimagined for the Apple Watch Ultra 2. It has an additional “Action” button on the left frame that can be customized to trigger different shortcuts or apps with a simple click. Similarly, this smartwatch is IP6X dust-sealed, MIL-STD-810H certified, and WR100 water resistant for up to 100 meters. So yeah, as far as smartwatch durability goes, this thing ticks all the boxes.
Dual-frequency GPS
Okay, let’s talk about its health and fitness tracking abilities now. As I said before, pro endurance athletes will be the ones to make the most out of the Apple Watch Ultra 2. And its dual-frequency L1 and L5 GPS support is definitely among the most impressive features of this smartwatch.
This has also been complemented with some helpful features like “Compass Waypoints” and “Backtrack” so that you can navigate your hiking route much more easily. Moreover, Apple Watch Ultra 2’s health monitoring ability doesn’t leave much room for complaint either. It can do everything from heart rate, sleep, and stress, to SpO2 tracking — while the onboard temperature sensor gives advanced insight into women’s cycle tracking and ovulation estimates.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 also brings a bunch of safety features, including car crash detection. It even has a loud 86dB siren that you can trigger to alert people near you in case of an emergency. Other than this, the Watch Ultra’s battery backup is equally impressive. Although it’s not on the same level as Amazfit or Huawei smartwatches above, it will easily last around 3 days under regular usage — which is almost twice as more compared to a regular Apple Watch.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 Specifications:
Body: 49 x 44 x 14.4 mm, 61.4 grams (with strap), Titanium case
Hello everyone, Pratima here! So for the past 10 days, I have been testing OnePlus’s latest phones – the 13 and the 13R. I will be coming up with the OnePlus 13 Review next week because it has just received new camera-focused updates so I am taking my time, and so, let’s get into the OnePlus 13R Review!
Before stepping in, let’s have a look at the specifications of the OnePlus 13R.
Battery: 6000mAh with 80W SuperVOOC charging (wired)
Expected Price in Nepal: NPR 74,999 (12/256GB)
OnePlus 13R Review:
A New Design
For some INR 40,000 (NPR 64,000), Just like the 11R and 12R, I think the OnePlus 13R is also a solid upper midrange phone –. But I think OnePlus missed a Big opportunity this time to make this phone Perfect!
If I were Oneplus’s product manager, I would have looked at last year’s OnePlus 12R and said okay, so what improvements can I make with the 13R? And the first thing that I would do is NOT fix things that aren’t broken.
Design
1 of 2
But sadly, that’s exactly what OnePlus did. They changed the whole design of the 13R. For me, this flat side frame feels uncomfortable to hold, whereas the OnePlus 12R felt more premium in my hands. And as soon as I switched to the more expensive OnePlus 13, it just felt so good.
The IP rating is not that appealing
Plus, the OnePlus 13R also only has an IP64 rating and coming in 2025, I just wish OnePlus had maybe included IP67 or 68 dust and water resistance! These days even 20,000 (Indian rupee) phones like the Moto Edge 50 Neo have IP68.
Another thing that’s bugging me is the position of the fingerprint scanner. The OnePlus 12R had a perfect location in the middle, which we appreciated a lot last year, but now it is placed down below here, which is slightly difficult to reach. So, again why change if ain’t broken?
Display
Likewise, the OnePlus 13R has an inferior Gorilla Glass 7i display protection Versus the more robust GG Victus 2 we had with the 12R! Anyway, negatives aside, I absolutely love the display experience here. This is an easily A+ Flagship level display. It’s super bright, it has 10-bit color depth, high PWM dimming, and both HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision support on OTT platforms.
Plus, the touch response is superb, and we get good color calibration out of the box. And, this is an LTPO 4.1 panel too, and I found it to be working quite well in the auto-refresh mode.
And I like how OnePlus will now be offering a lifetime screen warranty and free replacement if you get a green line issue on the OnePlus 13 series. OnePlus says that they have done a lot of tests and are investing a lot in R&D, so chances are the newer models won’t be getting these green line issues.
And when I was buying this phone from the OnePlus store, one of the OnePlus representatives told me to register for “180 days of Phone replacement” from the setting over here. This means if my OnePlus 13 or 13R has any faulty hardware issues in the next 6 months, OnePlus will replace it for free. So, this is genuinely a Class Act from OnePlus. Really appreciate this effort!
Software
Ok, Another A+ aspect of the OnePlus 13R is the performance & the software experience. Although the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in here is last year’s flagship, it still is plenty powerful and should feel fast for the next 3 to 4 years for sure! I also like the base variant now comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
And this time, OnePlus is indeed offering UFS 4.0 storage, unlike the whole marketing disaster we saw with the OnePlus 12R where they said they were using UFS 4, but it had UFS 3.1. The UFS 4.0 storage on the OnePlus 13R is fast, but let me tell you that it’s not as fast as the UFS 4.0 we get on the OnePlus 13, especially the Random Read and Write speeds, which are the metrics to look at for faster app installation and app opening.
Regardless, the OnePlus 13R feels very fast for a phone that costs just 40,000 Indian Rupees! One thing I instantly noticed is the animation feels very smooth this time.
Gaming
Even in terms of gaming, this is the best phone for the price right now. You can play PubG at 120fps with almost zero lags, and even high-GPU-intensive games like Genshin Impact run at smooth 60pfs with excellent stability at the highest graphics setting.
The only difference I found while playing PuBg on the OnePlus 13R Vs the OnePlus 13 are: No.1 the OnePlus 13 stays slightly cooler by at least 3 or 4 degrees, and No.2 during classic events when there are multiple players, the OnePlus 13 is slightly more optimized and it renders slightly faster so it feels less laggy than the 13R. So, if you are a pro gamer, you will notice this difference between a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and an 8 Elite.
Other than that, the software experience is really good here and we get up to the Android 19 update commitment too. Yes you do get some bloatware apps here & there, but you can disable them with just 2 taps, so it wasn’t a big issue for me.
Haptics
What I am a little sad about is that the OnePlus 13R’s haptics are not as good as the OnePlus 13. This is an X-axis vibration motor with o-haptics, but the feedback is not as sublime as you get on the OnePlus 13. Same with its speaker! It’s super loud with plenty of bass, but the trebles aren’t that great.
Battery
The OnePlus 13R also gets an easy A+ in battery endurance. That’s pretty much the case with most Chinese phones in 2025 since all of them are using this new Silicon Carbon tech which allows for bigger 6000, 6500mAh, and even 7000mAh batteries to fit in a thinner form factor.
The 13R gets a 6000mAh unit and as you can see from these screenshots, I was easily getting 8 to 9 hours of SOT in my typical usage where I usually spent my time playing games for at least an hour, took a lot of camera samples, and watched at least 2 episodes of Shark Tank on Sony LIV, so easy 24-hour backup!
Thankfully, OnePlus does provide a free 80W fast charger inside the box here in India, unlike elsewhere where you don’t get a charger inside the box. This 80W brick is technically a downgrade over the 100W brick we got with last year’s 12R, but as long as a free fast charger is there inside the box, I don’t want to complain.
Camera
Ok, let’s go back to my earlier statement where I said OnePlus missed a Big opportunity this time to make this phone Perfect! And the main reason why I said this is they didn’t improve the camera experience with this phone.
The cameras in here are just a “B” if I am being completely honest. OnePlus has used a Sony LTY 700 sensor which you see on plenty of 20 to 30K phones. And since there is no Hasselblad optimization like on the OnePlus 13, the photos I am getting from the main lens are inconsistent.
Sometimes, the images come out great like on these samples, they have plenty of detail, look sharp and have a wide dynamic range, but on many occasions, I found the whites and exposure levels are not very good. Highlights are not maintained properly.

I think OnePlus should have either included a Sony LTY 800 sensor or Hasselblad optimisation here like the OnePlus 13. But since there is neither of those, the OnePlus 13R camera is more like what you get with 30,000 phones!
Ultrawide
And that’s especially true when you switch to an Ultra-wide camera! It uses the same Sony IMX355 camera we first saw on OnePlus 10R 3 years ago. This 8MP Ultrawide camera is just so disappointing. The photos come out soft with limited dynamic range and details.

Plus, this Ultra-wide lens can’t do 4K recording. So, when I am clicking videos from its main camera at 4K and I want to switch to an ultra-wide mode in the middle of recording, I just can’t. For that, I have to click videos in 1080P, which feels like I am time-traveling to the past.
2x Telephoto
The third camera here is a 2X zoom lens from Samsung. And since the other two lenses are from Sony, the color science between all these 3 lenses is wildly different. So, it seems like OnePlus clearly wants you to upsell the OnePlus 13 if you want a better camera experience.
Fortunately, this 2X lens is somewhat useful while taking portraits. It’s much sharper and has better subject focus and blur than what we got from last year.

But here too, I genuinely feel like instead of this 2X lens, they should have gone with a 3X lens. That in my opinion is a better focal length to take portraits. I am also currently testing the Realme 14 Pro+ – that phone has a 3X lens and clicks amazing portraits.
Selfie
Other aspects of the camera like the selfie is pretty nice though. It’s vibrant, and has great dynamic range There is a caveat in the selfie camera though, you only get 1080p video recording support here, no 4k. The 1080p videos are decent, but having 4k would have been great!

OnePlus 13R Review: Conclusion
Ok, so let’s conclude the OnePlus 13R review, and let’s imagine for a minute, that we are in a parallel universe, and I am the head of product for OnePlus. My ideal OnePlus 13R would look something like this.
I wouldn’t have changed the design from last year. The display improvement is excellent, OnePlus has done great work with performance & software experience and the battery life is also top-notch. And I am somewhat fine with the IP64 rating, and speaker quality too.
There are exactly 4 things I would change.
First, I would have included the OnePlus 13’s vibration motor for a more refined typing experience. Second, I would have optimized the main camera by either including Hasselblad optimization like we get the OP13 or including a better bigger sensor. Third, I would have definitely given a 50 MP Ultrawide lens with autofocus that can also do 4K recording and take macro photos.
And 4th, instead of the 2X zoom camera, I would have given a proper 3X periscope zoom lens. The same one we get on Realme midrange phones. That, in my opinion, would have made the OnePlus 13 “The perfect Premium Midrange Phone of 2025”. So, yeah, it’s a real shame they have missed this opportunity!
What we typically know smartwatches are for tracking steps, measuring blood oxygen levels, GPS, heart rate, and music control. However, Samsung is planning to take things to the next level by introducing a glucose-monitoring sensor in its upcoming smartwatch. Let’s dive into the details of this news.
Samsung is working on Glucose Monitoring Tech
Current challenges
At present, people with diabetes rely on continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) or finger prick tests to track their blood sugar levels. These methods require a sensor to go through the skin. Individuals with diabetes find this invasive technique (a procedure that requires inserting an instrument through the skin or into a body opening) uneasy and painful. Considering this, Samsung is reportedly working on a more convenient and painless solution.
Samsung’s Vision
Samsung aims to address this issue by introducing a non-invasive, optical-based continuous glucose monitor. This new device will use light-based sensors, similar to those used for measuring heart rate and blood oxygen levels, to track blood sugar levels. Not only that, users would be able to monitor their glucose levels in real time.

Additionally, the company is exploring ways to predict the early signs of diabetes. However, this might take some time.
“I can’t tell you the time [of the launch], but I’m very excited about the progress we are making, and this, if we do it right, will be a game-changer.” Hon Pak, a senior executive at Samsung
Apple seems to be on the same page
A few years ago, Apple’s Chief Operating Officer, Jeff Williams, mentioned that Apple was working on a similar technology, but there have been no official announcements from the company yet.
If Samsung successfully brings this technology to market, it could revolutionize diabetes care and health monitoring, offering a much-needed non-invasive solution for millions of people worldwide. But it’s unlikely that we’ll see a fully function glucose monitor on the next Galaxy Watch. Rather, it’ll likely take some more years to develop this tech and get it certified through regulators worldwide. Until then, it’s an interesting idea but still far from being widely accessible.
