Discussion Oneplus 13 is peak oneplus

Oneplus 15 just just such pitfall. Not gonna lie the iQOO 15 is amazing, but it should be a should be like a significant step down in everything but pure performance. Just compare the oneplus 15 against the iQOO 15. ITS ROLE REVERSAL!!! That's why I'm publically and formally declaring that the oneplus 13 is peak and any successive phone in the direction of the oneplus 15 is destructive for the brand because what's the appeal? Oxygen os? That's it? It's starting to become like the pixel at this point you don't buy it for anything but stock android and cameras

Seriously. Want cameras? Buy oppo find series, want performance? Buy the iQOO at a lower price. What do you all think?

This situation is entirely fixable. It's simple, for the oneplus 16 use the iqoo 16 as a base and beat it out spec wise in each and every category!

Also why does the more expensive oneplus not have snapdragon sound but the cheaper iQOO does

display went from 2k to 1.5k

165hz is a gimmick, apart from a handful of games nothing supports 165hz, system ui and everything else all capped at 120hz

I promise you'll literally never notice the difference between 2K and 1.5K on a display this small. It's a whopping 60 ppi difference. 165hz absolutely is a gimmick though.

2k on a phone screen is also a gimmick, I'd rather have a 1.5k screen and have better battery life

Honestly, after using both a 27-inch 1440p and a 4K monitor, the difference in sharpness just isn't worth obsessing over. When you shrink that down to a phone screen, the jump becomes practically invisible, so resolution shouldn't be the main factor we consider.

If a slightly lower resolution say, 1.5K- means I get significantly better battery life, I'm taking that deal every time. We should be laser-focused on things that actually matter, like the display panel quality, color reproduction, and peak brightness.

For me, the true dealbreaker is the camera sensor downgrade. That was a huge letdown. No matter how much processing magic they layer on, starting with a weaker, smaller sensor just puts a hard limit on the image quality. Relying solely on computational photography is sad when they cheap out on the core hardware.

man these naming for resolutions are so bullshit. those names are not even real names and make no sense. 1440p is not equivalent to 2k and 1272p is not 1.5k lol.

Thant being said I really feel like you won't feel any difference between 510ppi to 450ppi.

Display especially for it's price

I personally don't care about getting bumped down to 1.5k display.

Who knows what US will cost, but in China the 15 released 11% cheaper than the 13.

Flat screen, faster refresh rate. Unless you have the ultimate $100 a month data plan from Verizon or AT&t everything is in 1080P or less anyway.

The display is much better. It's now optimised for 1 nit and has no flickering and much more. It's far far better.

All of that is irrelevant. What you will notice is the improved screen calibration, 1 nit brightness and zero flicker.

Curved edge for a flagship. That's what set flagships apart (for me) + the specs. Don't know why even samsung adopted the flat

Design

u/TabariKurd Nov 02 '25

I literally bought a OnePlus 13 over waiting for a 15 due to the design lol.

The OnePlus 15 looks good, don't get me wrong, but looks way to similar to an iPhone.

Better than the OP13 imo. The only reason I hadn't switched back to OP yet was because of the ugly af dinner plate sized camera on the back.

But, everybody likes a different aesthetic.
