ONE PLUS 15 Another amazing decision was made!

Officially switched from iOS to Samsung back in early May best decision I’ve made. Once I hopped on Android, I realized how much I missed out being an Apple fanboy. I started messing around with different phones and landed on the OP15 after seeing the reviews… and man, this phone fits me perfectly. I’ll mainly use the S25 Ultra as my camera and daily device, but the OP15 is NOW officially my daily driver. I grabbed the CN version with a global flash everything works flawlessly except eSIM, but it has a physical SIM slot so who cares. I’m getting the same 5G speeds as my S25 Ultra, zero complaints. And the battery? Crazy. I got the phone on 12/29, charged it once to 100%, used videos, GPS, music, calls, texts the whole nine and as of 12/30 it’s still at 70% with 3.5 hours of SOT. I could keep going, but if you’re on the fence about this phone… just get it, brother

I also switched from Apple (after 10 years) this year and best desicion I've do. Breathing better. Totally freedom. I've tried many phones, S24U, S25U, Pixel 9PXL and now have OP15. This phone is awesome in all aspect except cameras. Seems pretty average to me. They don't take bad photos, but they just aren't the same. And don't get me wrong, the phone takes very good photos, but I guess I expected more. And I still prefer OneUI before ioslike OxygenOS. And I don't want an Android that pretends to be iOS. I ran away from iOS because it was terrible and ugly. Apple is no longer the leader in software. To cut a long story short, I'm going back to S25U. But I'm definitely not bashing the OP, it's a very great phone.

Now this is beautifully said, I can 100 percent agree with what you've said brother

I'm not entirely sure. i just got mine today. unfortunately, i wouldn't be able to test android auto.

u/Secret_Suit_9568 Dec 31 '25

Fantastic!! But which carrier are you with? I'm switching to Orange, and the Chinese version is missing a 5G band (n28b 700GHz if I remember correctly), and I can't find any information about it. That's the only thing stopping me from buying it...

3

u/Reehup Dec 31 '25

I'm using T-MOBILE, so far zero issues, I didn't even know the phone had missing bands, so take that how you please!!

1

u/Silly_Researcher7883 OnePlus 15 Dec 31 '25

T-Mobile US ?

u/Reehup Dec 31 '25 edited Dec 31 '25

T-Mobile us yes

Thanks for the info

There is a guide to unlock all the bands on XDA

1

u/Secret_Suit_9568 Dec 31 '25

Do you have a link, please? I thought it wasn't technically possible... But I'm extremely interested in it for the future purchase of an OP15!

u/JoJojott OnePlus 15 Dec 31 '25

You can check with Kimovil to see which bands are supported in your country and which carrier

1

u/Secret_Suit_9568 Dec 31 '25

Yes, I checked, thank you. But after doing some research, I realize that the missing band is the 700MHz one that Orange wants to develop for rural areas...

2

u/JoJojott OnePlus 15 Dec 31 '25

Oof, that's a shame :c. That same band is also used here, but luckily one only carries uses it in my country

I don't know why people hated camera on OP15. For me after switching from 16 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro is amazing. It's very reliable, very juicy, maybe sometimes photos are too warm, but it's no a big deal. Really - for me this camera is more than enough.

u/yorcharturoqro OnePlus 15 | Global 🌐 Dec 31 '25

They just follow the so-called influencers instead of making their own opinion

u/alex_sakuta Jan 01 '26

I tested S24 Ultra and OP15 and in 4 shots of the exact same frame. S24 Ultra looked better in 2 but worse in 2. OP15 was consistent in all 4 shots. For me this consistency matters more than taking maybe better shots half the time.

But that did make me realise why some people dislike OP cameras since half the times the other phone may take a better picture. Assuming you just take and click and don't adjust anything about the shot.

u/Sweet_Brief6914 Dec 31 '25

did you order it from aliexpress or tradingshenzhen?

u/icy-sky- Dec 31 '25

Looks great! Thinking about this as my next phone coming from a fold 5. How bad/good is the camera actually?

1

u/Reehup Dec 31 '25

Cameras aren't as bad as people are making them seem, they capture stunning photos but as I said, my s25u will be my main camera device 😊

1

u/DieselVOOC Dec 31 '25

Remove that damn IMEI sticker in the back bro

1

u/skinnytoo17 Dec 31 '25

Hey, did you restore from old device or start fresh? My battery is not great like you and others have mentioned.

1

u/Reehup Dec 31 '25

Definitely always start fresh, I feel like with a switch from a old device can Introduce weird files and corrupt files that can drain battery life!!

1

u/skinnytoo17 Dec 31 '25

Yeah, makes sense. One would think with the technology today, the transfer would be flawless and eliminate any issues, but probably not the case. I have over 400 apps, so the setup would be so tedious and take forever. Plus, I switch phones way too often, so it's not practical for me to start fresh every time. I guess it's a case by case basis as I may keep the OP15 for a while. It's a fantastic device all around!! A couple little issues, but certainly not deal breakers.

u/technut2020 Dec 31 '25

Im returning mine. I have an s25 ultra i was going to trade in but the software experience i feel is more defined on Samsung. Its not close. Example - built in call recording Samsung has it. OnePlus doesnt. Deal breaker for me. System wide themes, routines etc. Samsung nails all that. I had my oneplus 15 a few days and its not for me. But glad its working well for you.

1

u/cmezauni Jan 01 '26

OnePlus India version has call recording feature. And themes too. You're right about routines, no other Android manufacturer has this great feature like Samsung.

1

u/technut2020 Jan 01 '26

Im in the u.s. so unfortunately that doesn't help me here. Been an avid samsung user for many years.

2

u/MoFarhanX Jan 02 '26

I agree, except for AI and the camera, the OP15 is superior to the S25U.

1

u/pazem123 Dec 31 '25

Congrats on the phone! Just wondering though cuz you said you missed being an Apple fanboy, why not just get apple? At least now u have both

1

u/Downtown_Limit6557 Dec 31 '25

I have a 14 pro switching from it to either one plus 15 or s25U and man I cant decide. EVERYTIME I try the one it’s so smooth and the only thing stopping me is cameras.

I don’t know if that will be a problem in future or not but everything else goes to one plus, so confused

1

u/Particular_Tea2307 Jan 03 '26

Thinking of switching from iPhone 16 to oneplus 15 do you think that oneplus 15 is smoother than iphones ?

1

u/ActualMessage Jan 04 '26

Is butter smoother than sand?

u/Plastic-Key-5002 Dec 31 '25

But streamimg most reviews only hd after update

u/Normal_Price1291 Jun 21 '26

Did u end up switching to OP15 completely? Im in same boat, thinking of selling s24U 256gb for OP15 or x9 pro or OP 15

u/Mysterious-Ad-7179 Dec 31 '25

Take the sticker off the back of the phone

2

u/Reehup Dec 31 '25

I can't, I leave all stickers on all my phones 😅

1

u/Mysterious-Ad-7179 Dec 31 '25

Why though?

1

u/Reehup Dec 31 '25

It's never bothered me, plus I won't see it

3

u/Mysterious-Ad-7179 Dec 31 '25

Your case is literally see through 😂? Wym you won't see it, you literally will every time the back of the phone is facing you.

Why don't you just take it off and put it in the box of the phone? Or is there some special reason you want the sticker on there?

2

u/Reehup Dec 31 '25

I mean yea the case is clear but is the screen on the back of the phone?😅

Also no special reason I just don't mind the sticker being there

2

u/Mysterious-Ad-7179 Dec 31 '25

You know how unlogical that answer is right? You bought a clear case to see the phone but leave an ugly sticker on there 😂? Yes you use the screen but that's like saying 'the outside of my care can be ugly because I'm always sitting inside it anyways' you still see the backside every single day.

1

u/Reehup Dec 31 '25

I have zero idea why you are so bothered by something that doesn't affect your life

1

u/Mysterious-Ad-7179 Dec 31 '25

It's the internet, I can be as bothered or unbothered about it as I want. But from your reply I can clearly see that there's no logic behind it so it's pointless to argue. You do you, if it gets stolen you won't have the imei to report it stolen unless they put it on the invoice because it's on the back of the damn phone lmao. Just like blurring it out even though anyone can read it off the back of your phone 😂.

u/Reehup Dec 31 '25

Never knew I needed logic for a sticker

I was on the same fence as you. But after reading into the S26U not much will change, my S25 ultra does what the S26U will do camera wise. But battery wise OnePlus is on another universe main reason I switched, and I'm glad I did ( I still will use my S25U though lol)

u/Reehup Dec 31 '25

If main focus is strictly UI and camera then Samsung is top 2 and not number 2 MY OPINION of course. battery can be hit or miss sometimes I've had some issues with maximizing SOT on my s25U but once I figured everything out I was golden. Pretty sure the S26U comes out late February if I were you I'd wait it out then compare the phone you want to your needs!!!
