OnePlus 13 and 13R Receive First Software Update with Key Enhancements
The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R have recently made their debut in India and other global markets. Following their launch, the OnePlus 13 has received its inaugural software update, which is now rolling out to users. This update introduces several anticipated features that were absent at the time of our initial review, alongside enhancements to camera functionality, system stability, and overall performance. Furthermore, it incorporates the December 2024 Android security patch and modifies certain user interface elements.
The update, labeled CPH2649_15.0.0.402(EX01), has a file size of 988MB and is being made available to existing users of the device. This smartphone succeeds the OnePlus 12 and officially went on sale in India on January 10.
New Features and Connectivity Improvements
Among the notable additions is the Touch to Share feature, a convenient tool for transferring content to iOS devices. This functionality is now accessible via a new “Share with iPhone” button located in the notification toggles. However, iOS users will still need to download the O+ Connect application for seamless operation.
The update also includes various connectivity enhancements, such as optimized IPv6 connectivity over Wi-Fi, improved Bluetooth stability, and better overall network performance.
Camera Enhancements and User Experience
The major focus of this update lies within the camera application, which receives various improvements, including new stylistic options and the ability to personalize watermarks. Users will benefit from enhanced clarity in previews when utilizing Portrait and Photo modes, along with clearer 4K video recordings at 60 frames per second.
Another significant correction addressed in this update is the inconsistency in color tones between the primary and telephoto cameras, an issue highlighted in our review.
The update also brings a new feature called Live Alerts, which manifests as a Dynamic Island-style bubble. This feature can now display the device’s charging status, whether wired or wireless.
AI Features in Google Messages
Additionally, users will find that AI capabilities have been integrated into Google Messages with this update. Following an update from the Play Store, the app will introduce a Magic Compose feature, allowing for on-device functionalities after a recent AI Core update.
Other visual enhancements include a revamped 1×2 Weather widget, upgraded step tracker and Storage cleaner widgets, and a fresh two-tone theme option in the Wallpapers & Style’s Colors selection. This comprehensive update promises to significantly enhance the user experience on the OnePlus 13, addressing previous shortcomings while introducing exciting new features.
