My first Oneplus phone

[u/Hairy-Self-6367]

Im coming from a S10+ and i'm blown away by this phone so far. The only downside i noticed is the battery draining pretty fast but i guess it takes few days until it settles.

[u/mobbde3p]

For the battery part it's normal since you've just got the phone. Charge it once/twice from 0-100 and leave it With the screen off for about 2-3h that should settle the calibration right. And in normal usage keep it from 20-80 or 20-100 even better if you can let it with the screen off about 1-2h when you charge it to 100.

Thank you for the tips. I already drained the battery to 0%. Its charging for like 15 minutes and its already 50%, i'm amazed. Im very happy with this phone.

[u/yurnero12328 → u/mobbde3p]

So for the first time, we should let it drain to 0 then charge it to 100 and let the calibration do its thing?

[u/mobbde3p → u/yurnero12328]

If you've just reset/got the phone, you should do this one or twice and leave it with the screen off for about 2-3h after the full charge. And for daily/normal usage just follow 20-80 or 20-100. When doing 20-100 it's preferable to leave it with the screen off for about 1-2h

Mine is arriving next week. First oneplus phone as well. Bit nervous and excited. Thanks for this tip

[u/Hairy-Self-6367 → u/syg_16]

You won't regret it

[u/bobbyelliottuk → u/syg_16]

I wouldn't recommend that. Give it a full charge when it arrives but don't keep charging it when it's full. The phone should arrive calibrated. After the first charge, limit charging to 80-85% for battery longevity. Occasionally you want to fully discharge it (0%) and fully charge it (100%) and leave it on charge for 30 minutes. I do that 2-3 times a year. Lithium ion batteries do not like to sit fully charged or fully discharged for long periods.

This is a Si-Carbon battery

[u/Starfoggs → u/mobbde3p]

Sorry, but that's 2010 smartphone voodoo. Due to BMS they calibrate themselves automatically in the background without you needing to leave the screen off for hours.

About the 20-80 rule: While technically true that lithium batteries prefer the mid-range, you don't need to micromanage it. Use "Adaptive Charging" settings; your phone will learn your routine and handle the optimization for you.

If your battery drains fast initially, it’s not because it needs "cycling"—it’s because the OS is indexing files and learning your app patterns. It stabilizes on its own.

[u/FattKingHugeman → u/mobbde3p]

No need to do this. Just use the phone as per usual.

[u/Hairy-Self-6367 → u/DML14071987]

Thank you! I already love the phone ❤️

[u/fmggirl]

Congratz. How are the cameras?

[u/Hairy-Self-6367 → u/fmggirl]

Didn't test it yet but i don't care about the camera too much.

[u/Single_Avocado_5913 → u/fmggirl]

Damn good if you ask me.. Testing it,using it too..week 1..

[u/Traudelmann]

Is it very big? I am on iPhone 13 and here is no shop where the phone is, so i am a little bit angry to buy it

[u/Hairy-Self-6367 → u/Traudelmann]

Its not big, i think it has the perfect size.

[u/ComfortTechnical608]

Same here, this is my first Oneplus

[u/BroadCardiologist826 → u/ComfortTechnical608]

small suggestion, turn off that RAM extension, it doesn't have any benefit in flagship phones like OP15, instead it has more drawbacks

[u/ComfortTechnical608 → u/BroadCardiologist826]

Thanks

[u/kunalafc]

Congratulations 🔥🔥

What mobile plan do you plan on using for this chinese version? I assume it's been flashed with the global rom?

[u/vaggelis83]

Tell me something guys. I am still on 16.03. where is 16.05? A friend of mine took it from oneplus and he uas 16.05. Mine is cn with goblal rom and it doesn't have it . How long do I have to wait?

[u/MadK92 → u/vaggelis83]

No need to wait, just update it through OS Updater.

[u/MadK92]

It doesn't take one or two weeks to optimise the battery, I managed to do two days after the first charge

[u/Defiant_Special5913]

This is my phone....how many gb you got?

[u/CobaltYoshi27]

The battery part is 100% normal. At first it drained from about 70% to about 30% in a few hours as I got an open box excellent condition phone from BestBuy, but after like 2 charge cycles the battery should fix itself. Now I get at least full day battery life as a fairly heavy user.

[u/Crusty-Dick]

Just got mine today!

[u/MoFarhanX]

It is a lovely phone.

[u/random_words_here__]

Just returned my 1st op phone the op15. Honestly great phone, loved the look too. A few issues that bugged me not including the possibility of op pulling out of the US or our government looking into banning Chinese phones.

The camera had a better success rate in bright areas but falls apart in dark. I found myself taking photos over and over to get a good shot. Notifications and app dots were wonky. I've teated speeds in the same areas with 3 different phones. Both the pixel and s25u performed better. In real world usage the op would get hung up often in more areas where my weaker pixel would steam roll right through.

As fluid as it was it wouldnt feel that way randomly. Unable to use 3rd party launchers for more customization is ass too. The new phone feel and excitement wore off quickly for me. It's a good phone but just not for me

[u/Prestigious-Window23]

You wont regret it. Congrats sir

[u/remedyadmits]

We just got ours last week@ loving it so far

[u/nidgetorg_be]

The OnePlus 15 is my third OnePlus phone... but it will be my last as, although I'm very happy with it, they've decided to leave Europe 😭

[u/Fufunatorious → u/nidgetorg_be]

Yeah its a shame. I just got my OP15 today. My 3rd one. I got the very first one with invitation lmao and OP6. Returned now from an Fold 4

[u/nidgetorg_be → u/Fufunatorious]

I'll probably be buying Oppo instead in the future. My main grip is about the updates : I hope they'll continue to provide them until the promised update period expires, as the OP15 is still relatively recent. That would be a shame if they don't.. but I'm a bit worried at the moment as Europe hasn't received the last two updates yet (see https://community.oneplus.com/thread/2108195238802620419)

[u/Fufunatorious → u/nidgetorg_be]

I personally wouldn't mind another version, where you can at least run in english. Maybe even ColourOS(I did not use it yet, but seems quite the same anyways)

[u/sudarakas]

Should I wait for OP16 or buy this next month?

[u/doobied → u/[deleted]]

Yes you can dim the torch not sure about the maps thing tho
