A leak of the OnePlus 13's design shows off a wood grain look and flatter edges in a slight update to the look and feel.

I feel like they are trying but its still OPPO after all.
- I think the only difference left between Oppo and "OnePlus" is the ability to unlock your bootloader.. for now at least
I still have my 6T; and was told by others that OnePlus kind of fell off, and the guy running the Nothing Phone essentially had the new phone that was the spiritual successor to the Nexus line of devices.
That's always been what I've chosen - the most stripped down, AOSP-like version of a vanilla phone that I could get. I don't need all your AI bullshit, I don't need a bunch of tie-ins with Google services. I just want a device with the proper radios for good service, and enough Android to be able to use the apps that I want, without anything getting in the way.
Honestly, I might just go back to Motorola after this. They had some juicy little features, like twisting the phone to turn on the flashlight - but it was all still stock Android for the most part. Their devices were always pretty solid too.
- Their 6T was such a unicorn. I would still have mine if it didn't get stomped on and drowned at a concert.
  
  Yep, I bought a Pixel last year because I got drawn in by the bells and whistles, and it started exhibiting the common screen issue a few months back that the 8 tends to get. I literally just got around to RMAing it today because my 6-year-old 6T is just so solid that I didn't really miss it.
- I really like my edge 30 pro and i can't find anything better even now. It's wide enough to read text properly. All the modern phones are a lot thinner because they want to make it usable with one hand. I rather have a wider screen.
Oneplus has screens with PWM at 120 Hz which is causing eye strain and headaches for sensitive people like myself. I'm hoping they will stop this nonsense with oneplus 13.
- I bought the OP12 and OP12R specifically because of the high frequency PWM (one for me, one for spouse). We have had issues with iPhone and Pixel pwm, where the text is unreadable because it wobbles on the screen at lower brightness, and eyestrain that comes with it.
  I have not had any issues with the pwm flicker on the 12 and 12R. It's the only OLED phone that I've been able to use.
  
  Good to know, thank you!
- Oneplus lists the display as 2160HZ PWM dimming capable. But, notebookcheck says its only 120hz, and 360hz in anti-flicker mode.
