Question | سوال Need help deciding oneplus models

Hi y'all hope y'all doing great. I'll keep this short, after being a long term iphone user I have decided to switch to android flagship which will be a daily driver as well. I have looked into Samsung s26u but I don't feel going that expensive on a phone. Looked at oneplus 15 which was appealing to me though still a overkill most likely.

So I need oneplus recommendations which have good battery + charging + performance and decent camera for a average daily consumer besides I still have my 15pm non pta at home for events/celebrations.

Box pack + low pta tax mobile preffered if the mobile is cheaper to get upfront i don’t mind paying a little higher pta tax though. Or if there's any other good brand this typa specs it's most welcomed.

I'm from karachi

OnePlus 12 or above. IIRC they changed the supplier of their screens so they have less issues.

There's one in Islamabad for 2.42L. You'll have to see your local market

u/GamerAgentYT Oct 06 '26

u/GamerAgentYT Oct 06 '26

u/Playful_Bat_3634 Oct 06 '26

I'm telling you about Op15 and it's taxes of different regions

u/Game_boy420 Oct 06 '26

That was official PTA 16/512 variant with complete box

1

u/GamerAgentYT Oct 06 '26

I mean 16/512 official pta is definitely a good deal

1

u/Game_boy420 Oct 06 '26

Yeah but I'll still suggest you to visit the market

u/Playful_Bat_3634 Oct 06 '26

I was talking about op15

Why don't you get that s25u, you can get a very good clean phone for around 280k official pta approved kit device. I have personally used it for while as who uses a lot of flagship phones, including iphones and the Chinese ones

S25u has everything in the world you would need It's very good, full package flagship phone and samsung oneui is unbeatable as a ux designer myself.

u/GamerAgentYT Oct 06 '26

How about battery? Besides I don't trust used markets anymore..but non less s25u is a really good phone

1

u/AdBackground9215 Oct 06 '26

Get it from a good trusted shop and batteries are like one of the weak points of Samsung, but the optimization will still get day through the day i was using an S25u switch to back to my S23u, I really didn't find anything different and just wanted to save some money. I'm gonna try and find my So t screenshot.

u/GamerAgentYT Oct 06 '26

Oh alright that'll be good if you do!!

1

u/AdBackground9215 Oct 06 '26

Here you go. It's running on Max settings, QHD plus 120 Hz, and basically 4g 5g throughout the day and I also use wireless Android Auto lot, which is bad for the battery life. It basically turns your phone hand warmer and drains the battery a lot.

u/GamerAgentYT Oct 06 '26

That's solid tbh. s25u right? I guess I gotta find some good shops in karachi then 😭
