Pixel camera magic or OnePlus raw power? I tested both the Pixel 7 and OnePlus 13 for over a month in Bangladesh, using them daily in heat, weak networks, and night gaming. The Pixel 7 feels simple, reliable, and camera-focused, while the OnePlus 13 delivers faster performance, smoother operation, and longer-term usability. The Pixel 7 is now mostly unofficial and cheaper, whereas the OnePlus 13 costs more but offers better display, gaming, and overall longevity. Below is a hands-on comparison of price, gaming, network, camera, and display in real Bangladeshi conditions.

I visited major shops in Bashundhara City, Jamuna Future Park, and checked trusted online sellers. The Pixel 7 is now fully unofficial, so prices vary depending on seller, stock quality, and warranty or IMEI support.

The OnePlus 13, being newer, is easier to find in good condition and generally safer, but its higher price increases the risk if issues appear. In Bangladesh, the Pixel 7 appeals to value-focused buyers, while the OnePlus 13 suits users who want newer hardware, better performance, and longer-term usability.

Can it handle long gaming nights? I played PUBG, COD Mobile, and Genshin Impact without cooling. Google Pixel 7 runs smoothly at balanced settings but heats up and drops frames over time. Genshin is playable, not comfortable. OnePlus 13 stays smoother, holds higher settings, and manages heat better. This matches reference data, but my verdict came from daily gaming, not charts. Pixel 7 drains faster during gaming, and OnePlus 13 holds battery and cools down quicker.

Reliable connectivity is crucial for daily use, so I tested both phones with Grameenphone, Banglalink, Robi, and Airtel SIMs. Both handle calls well, but the OnePlus 13 maintains stronger 4G signals and faster speeds indoors, while the Pixel 7 is stable but slightly weaker in crowded areas. Wi-Fi range also favors the OnePlus 13. Although 5G isn’t widely practical in Bangladesh yet, the OnePlus 13 feels more future-ready for upcoming network upgrades.

Pixel 7 focuses on consistency. Daylight shots look natural, skin tones stay accurate, and night photos are dependable every time. OnePlus 13 delivers sharper images in good light and smoother video, but low-light results vary depending on mode and settings. For quick shots, family, street, food, I trusted Pixel 7 more. For video and detail-heavy daylight shots, OnePlus 13 felt stronger. In this segment, Pixel 7 still beats many phones for photography reliability.

Google Pixel 7’s AMOLED panel looks clean and color-accurate, comfortable for reading. The OnePlus 13’s AMOLED is brighter, smoother, and easier to see outdoors under strong sunlight. Scrolling and gaming feel better on OnePlus 13 due to higher refresh handling. If display quality matters most, OnePlus 13 is clearly ahead. Pixel 7 is fine, just not impressive anymore.

Choose Pixel 7 if you want reliable cameras, clean software, and lower cost. Pick OnePlus 13 if performance, gaming, brighter display, and longer future relevance matter more.

From my daily use, Pixel 7 is the smarter value phone, while OnePlus 13 is the better all-round flagship. Most users wanting longevity and power should choose OnePlus 13.
