OnePlus 13 gets a Rs 7,000 price cut during Independence Day sale
OnePlus 13 launched in India in January at a starting price of Rs 69,999 and has consistently been one of the best Android phones available in the market. It’s now available with a flat Rs 7,000 discount, bringing the price of the 12GB + 256GB model down to Rs 62,999. This discount is available on the 16GB RAM + 512GB variant, too, now priced at Rs 69,999 (originally Rs 79,999). You also get up to 9 months of No Cost EMI and Rs 1,000 off on the Buds 3 Pro TWS. This deal is part of the ongoing OnePlus Independence Day sale, which ends on August 17th.
Additionally, there are exchange offers and bank discounts on other OnePlus products, including the OnePlus Nord 5, OnePlus Nord CE5, OnePlus 13s, OnePlus Pad Go, and OnePlus Buds 4.
With a price drop of Rs 7,000, the OnePlus 13 deal seems too good to be missed, especially since you don’t get such significant discounts on OnePlus products. We’ve reviewed the phone, and here are some takeaways to help you make a buying decision.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite inside the OnePlus 13 handles multitasking and demanding games with ease, as noted in our detailed performance review. The phone scores impressive numbers in benchmark tests, and its thermals are great for gaming. However, the iQOO 13 (review) delivers better performance (thanks to some optimisations), despite carrying the same chipset.
The 6,000mAh battery inside the OnePlus 13 easily lasts over a day even with the highest settings enabled (AOD, 5G, and 120Hz refresh rate). Its 100W charger is capable of getting the phone to 100 per cent in just 27 minutes.
OnePlus’ Hasselblad-tuned cameras offer flagship-grade photography with improved dynamic range and brightness over the previous model. The images are aesthetically pleasing with good details. OnePlus 13’s ultra-wide and telephoto lenses, and 4K video recording at 60fps on the front camera are great for content creators capturing moments on the go. While the OnePlus 13 won’t disappoint you for photography, there are options like the Vivo X200 that are more impressive in photography. Check out our detailed comparison here.
Here’s what the OnePlus 13’s cameras are capable of:
The OnePlus 13 carries forward the circular camera module from the OnePlus 12, but in a sleeker and lighter body. It’s available in Midnight Ocean (leather), Black Eclipse, and Arctic Dawn colours. Software-wise, you still get a clean UI with minimal bloatware, especially compared to Vivo and iQOO phones.
Should you buy the OnePlus 13?
If you’re looking for a dependable flagship under Rs 65,000, the OnePlus 13 is an excellent pick. It delivers top-notch performance, reliable battery backup, and a versatile camera setup in a package that feels premium and well-optimised.
Unless you specifically want better camera performance (Vivo X200) or raw gaming power (iQOO 13), the OnePlus 13 is the most balanced choice. And with its successor months away, now is a great time to grab it.
If you’re looking for a more compact alternative, the OnePlus 13s is priced at Rs 54,999 and comes with extra exchange bonuses and bank discounts. This phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, too, and features a solid battery life. It gets a suite of AI features and the new Plus Key button on the side, which replaces the Alert Slider. However, the camera system lacks the versatility offered by the OnePlus 13.
- Deal price: Rs 62,999 (Rs 7,000 flat discount)
- Variant: 12GB + 256GB
- Why buy: Great battery, clean UI, top-tier performance
- Why you should skip: Camera isn’t class-leading
- Verdict: One of the best flagship deals under Rs 65,000
