13 5G vs 13+ 5G
It depends
Too close to call outright
These two are within 1 point overall, so it depends on you: keep phones for years → 13 5G (supported until Sep 2028); want maximum speed → 13+ 5G (MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy).
Value Score: 13 5G 69 · 13+ 5G 70 — methodology
The lifespan decider
When specs are close, support length decides it — this is what each phone costs per month of safe use.
Category by category
Both displays are effectively the same class.
The 13+ 5G's MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy is simply the faster chip.
The 13+ 5G has the stronger camera system (2 real rear lenses vs 1).
Battery capacities are close enough not to decide this.
Both phones' support windows end around the same time.
Pound for pound, these two are equally good deals.
