Specs comparison
Trending
Here are the specs of the Samsung Galaxy S24 and OnePlus 13s:
Design and display
The build quality of the Samsung Galaxy S24 and the OnePlus 13s is quite similar. Both devices have the glass-sandwich design, which is recommended. Their side and mid frames are made of aluminum, while the rear panel is glass. This not only looks good but also feels quite tactile. Therefore, it's a tie here.
As for the design, I prefer the OnePlus phone, but it's a personal preference, and you're welcome to have a different choice. Therefore, I would call this a tie as well. Coming to the display, I once again feel that their displays are quite similar in terms of color accuracy, brightness, HDR, and more.
However, the OnePlus smartphone supports Dolby Vision; so you can watch Dolby Vision movies on Netflix. Therefore, there's a small victory.

Performance and gaming
Performance is where the OnePlus 13s wins by a significant margin. The smartphone is powered by the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which is significantly superior to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3/Exynos 2400 running the Samsung Galaxy S24.
In fact, the new processor makes the OnePlus 13s 30 - 50% faster while multitasking. A similar performance advantage is also observed in gaming.
Camera performance
The Samsung Galaxy S24 is equipped with a triple 50MP (primary), a 10MP (telephoto), and a 12MP (ultrawide) rear camera setup. On the other hand, the OnePlus 13s has a dual 50 (primary) + 50MP (telephoto) rear camera arrangement.
However, the images from the Samsung phone's primary camera are slightly more detailed with a more natural color tone. The OnePlus 13s slightly oversaturates the color tone. However, the latter smartphone is better in telephoto details.
The Samsung phone also has an ultrawide camera, which gives it a natural win. Even its selfie camera is slightly better than the one in the OnePlus phone.
Memory and storage
The Samsung Galaxy S24 features 8GB of RAM and is available in 128/256/512GB storage variants. On the other hand, the OnePlus 13s offers 12GB of RAM and 256/512GB storage configurations. Essentially, even at the base variant, the OnePlus 13s provides more RAM and storage.
Battery, charging, and pricing
The OnePlus 13s wins again in battery, but the Samsung Galaxy S24 steers ahead in pricing. Its larger battery capacity delivers a higher battery life, complemented by an 80W charger. However, it doesn't have wireless charging, unlike the Samsung Galaxy S24. Therefore, it's a draw in the charging category.
As for pricing, the Samsung phone wins again, quoting ₹40,999 only. On the other hand, the OnePlus 13s costs ₹52,998 for the base variant, which has more RAM and storage.
