The OnePlus 13, recently launched in China, is set to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, offering features like a larger battery, more RAM, and a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. While the OnePlus 13 is expected to be more affordable, it boasts a slimmer design, faster charging, and a robust camera setup. However, the Galaxy S24 Ultra offers a versatile camera system and longer software support. The choice between the two depends on user priorities and the OnePlus 13's global pricing and real-world performance.
Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Fold SE, known as the Samsung W25 in China, featuring a significantly reduced crease on its foldable screen. A video review shows the crease is barely visible when the screen is on, requiring effort to see when off. The phone was compared to the Oppo Find N3, highlighting differences in screen creases. The Galaxy Z Fold SE is unlikely to be available outside South Korea and China, but there are hopes for global releases of future Fold models.
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and OnePlus 12 are set to be major contenders in the smartphone market, with the S24 Ultra focusing on camera improvements and AI features, while the OnePlus 12 boasts superfast charging and a bright display. Both phones will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, with the S24 Ultra expected to have a titanium alloy frame and possibly more expensive pricing, while the OnePlus 12 offers a more affordable option with fast charging capabilities. The OnePlus 12 has been revealed in China with a global launch set for January 23, while Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to be unveiled on January 17. Despite their differences, both phones are highly anticipated and cater to different market segments with some feature overlap.
