You don't have to pay big bucks to get great photos, as both the OnePlus 13R and Pixel 8a prove. But which camera phone is the better buy? We took 200 photos to find out.

The OnePlus 13 is sporting mostly the same camera setup as the OnePlus 12, except for the telephoto lens which has been swapped out for a new Sony lens. So, we were wondering, how does the OnePlus 13 stack up to the Pixel 9 Pro?

The OnePlus 13R was launched in India with a starting price of Rs.42999 for a 12GB + 256GB storage option. On the other hand, the Google Pixel 8a was launched at a starting price of Rs.52999. Therefore, there's a massive Rs.10000 gap between the two high-end devices. To know which smartphone you should consider, know more about their differences.

In terms of battery life, the OnePlus 13 comes equipped with a massive 6,000mAh battery, supporting 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. In contrast, the Pixel 9 is powered by a 4,700mAh battery, which supports 27W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. Clearly, the OnePlus 13 leads in both battery capacity and charging speeds.

The OnePlus 13R delivers a fine bit of performance for its price, plus doesn't look half bad while it performs.
