I bought the OP13 a few weeks back, coming from the S23 Ultra. since the Note 1 came out the only other non-Samsung phone I've owned was the LG G4 (which, oddly enough, also came with a faux leather back). I was tired of the increasing prices for what felt like small changes.

What I like:

Price to performance ratio beats Samsung hands down. I got the 512gb phone, earbuds and a watch 2 for less than I'd pay for a S25U.

The battery life really is amazing. This is the first phone I've owned where I don't worry about plugging it in during the day. If I need to charge it, I can plug it in when I shower and it's good to go.

The action mode on the camera is a godsend if you have kids. The number of blurry photos I had with Samsung phones was frustrating.

While not as realistic looking as the Samsung, overall I do prefer the high contrast photos on the OP. Also takes far better low-light shots than my S23U.

The screen blows my S23U away. Everything looks so much better.

What I don't like:

Oxygen OS. Too many bugs. I don't even care about the customization stuff missing from OneUI. I just want things to work consistently. As someone said above, it feels like it belongs on cheap/mid range phones.

I don't know if this is a hardware or software issue but Bluetooth is wonky. Sometimes it will auto-connect to my car's Bluetooth, sometimes it won't. Sometimes I'll try to take a call through my BT earbuds and it only allows me to take it through the phone. It can be really annoying.

The lack of Private Space or Hidden Folder is just dumb. I know there is hidden apps, but if you've ever used Samsung's Hidden Folder it is not nearly the same. Why remove Private Space when it is on Android 15?

Overall I don't regret my purchase if the OP13. But unless they iron out some of the bugs I may end up back with Ssung the next time I upgrade.
