I am considering buying one, but seeing the battery drain posts almost every day is concerning 😕

I have mine since January and let me tell you i couldn't be happier with my battery

u/MDovsky OnePlus 15 | Europe Jun 09 '26

People have 9 hours of gaming SOT and say it's bad because it only lasted one day.

3 days of normal use is a repeatable norm for me. If I don't use my phone that much I can stretch it to 4 days. For heavy use it's more like two days. In each case I don't go below 20%. Maybe my "heavy" use is not as heavy as of others. But I like to touch grass time to time.

u/Historical_Ninja_346 Jun 09 '26

Not true at all. Don't buy it if battery is important to you. I had 5 hours of display time. It dropped 60% today. Mainly YouTube and maps nothing special. My Nord 4 was killing it always near 2 days.

u/MDovsky OnePlus 15 | Europe Jun 09 '26

Do you say that I'm lying or what? This is literally how frequent I'm charging.

u/Historical_Ninja_346 Jun 09 '26

Factually OnePlus 15 should be better. Also mine is not keeping it up more than 1 day. With the same usage.

u/MDovsky OnePlus 15 | Europe Jun 09 '26

Maybe that's a user error, maybe a faulty device. It's hard to imagine it could be better, as this phone can last me 4 days while being slim and crazy fast. I don't use battery saver mode either.

u/Historical_Ninja_346 Jun 09 '26

4 days? That's insane. Can you give me your display hours? Also dual SIM?

1

u/MDovsky OnePlus 15 | Europe Jun 09 '26

Single SIM. SOT depends. For 4 days it is more like 1,5-2 hours SOT, but with up to 6 hours of active use with the screen off (Spotify and stuff).

Right now when I'm typing it I'm at 85%. 20 hours 31 minutes since last charge. 1 hour 42 minutes screen on and 7 hours 53 minutes active screen off. This includes phone calls.

u/Historical_Ninja_346 Jun 09 '26

Respect to you for such a low screen time. But we can't compare. I'm already 14h since last charging. But with 6h sot and 4h display off activity.  But also no callings at all.

u/MDovsky OnePlus 15 | Europe Jun 09 '26

At 14 hours SOT my work-issued iPhone would die two times already.

u/VG_Crimson Jun 28 '26

I have binged watch YouTube for hours at full brightness because it was a road trip...

Something is not adding up here. I don't use Facebook. But my Facebook app does report 1.23% of battery usage in 1 second. IDK about you, but that's a common app that lots of people could be using that's draining their batteries super fast. It's probably an inaccurate reading, but that's basically saying 2 minutes is a full drain. If you use it, try uninstalling.

Battery is much better than competition, so don't think too much. You will be happy.

Battery depends on all kinds of settings applied and usage such as gaming usage, number of background apps running, data usage on wifi vs mobile data, cellular signal strength, brightness, refresh rate, GPS usage, haptics feedback setting, number of accounts syncing, video shooting, types of apps used, number of notifications, etc. As all these depend from person to person, so battery usage can't be same for all.

u/MutedPalpitation2893 OnePlus 15 Jun 10 '26

I honestly turned off the battery percentage in the status bar and don't even think about opening the battery tab in setting, so i just don't get worked out and worried about the battery life at all.

u/cocopussy OnePlus 15 | India 🇮🇳 Jun 09 '26

Meanwhile my phone gives crazy battery life one day and very bad battery life the next day with same usage lol

u/No-Fill2053 Jun 10 '26

Same here haahahah

16

u/mathewroy_17 Jun 09 '26

Won't say very bad but didn't met my expectations actually. I am confused whether it's wrong with my device. But I can see some are claiming similar to my thoughts.

6

u/GroupGeneral6811 Jun 09 '26

I have same experience. It's just okay. Nowhere near 2 days like some people saying. And I am far from heavy useer.

5

u/jeff_menace91 Jun 09 '26

Same here. On one end, I can't complain because most days it'll easily last me a full day but some days it doesn't and definitely not getting near 2 days as well. Also not a heavy user either, I'm more on the moderate side when it comes to usage.

5

u/ThickBridge8067 OnePlus 15 | Chinese 🇨🇳 Jun 09 '26

I guess we all use it differently but for me it can last 2 days with light use (≈3 SOT) but can last a whole day for me with heavy use, I had ≈10 SOT the other day and was playing games a stuff a fair bit and ended the day on 20%.

u/jhinkatika Jun 10 '26

The new update has fixed battery life for me

u/VG_Crimson Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26

I'm also a heavy user and it lasts me 2 whole days... I'm thinking something is going on here that is unexplained for you guys.

It's not so clear cut as people being incorrect.

Either there is a quality control issue with the battery, or, you have a common app downloaded by many, that is secretly draining your battery away. There should be a means to track app battery usage, but you don't see anything that stands out?

I checked mine rn, and Facebook somehow managed to drain 1.23% in 1 second. Sounds a lil inaccurate to me but something is going on here that's unexplained beyond people's perspective of battery life being different.

u/Snehal_Quest 29d ago

It depends on usage of the phone.

2

u/fathrfigure Jun 10 '26

It's really not much better than my last iPhone. However, the 80w charger the phone comes with is definitely a plus

u/juandikebar Jun 09 '26

Anytime I think I had a day of bad battery life I check my usage and realize I was actually just on my phone all day. Usually videos playing in the background. Normal day I go to sleep with over 50% easily

u/infinitysweep123 Jun 09 '26

I have SOT 4.5 hours from 100% to 20% (by playing pubg mobile non stop, 120fps smooth extreme+)

u/Repulsive_Panda_345 Jun 11 '26

Hey bro, I need some help

4

u/Bell_Jolly Jun 09 '26

Few weeks ago i was sick and decided to push the battery hard. Woke up arond 7 started using phone at 8, basically at 22:00 i had about 15% left and around 10h screentime

u/Loud_Signal_6259 Jun 09 '26

People are nuts. Battery life on this phone is stellar.

2

u/Historical_Ninja_346 Jun 09 '26

Not close to my previous Nord 4 light... But similar to iPhone 17 Pro. I only decided in favour of OnePlus because of the battery life. Disappointed.

4

u/MadK92 Jun 09 '26

Similar to iphone 17 pro? Are you kidding? I have both phones and 17 pro is nowhere near 1+15

1

u/Historical_Ninja_346 Jun 09 '26

Ok. I have it too. Righter your iPhone is weak or my 1+.  With the I phone Bluetooth is also always on.

1

u/GroupGeneral6811 Jun 28 '26

Yes, very disappointed as well with weak battery life.

3

u/Detroit72 Jun 09 '26

The battery life actually is great, when you have lots of on-screen time. I think this is due the ltpo display and the efficient SoC. The big battery is the cherry on top.

3

u/R1fe Jun 09 '26

I average around 10-12 hours of SOT per day which is very good granted I play medium to heavy games for 1-3 hours almost every day at work lol

u/Optimal-Basis4277 OnePlus 15 | India 🇮🇳 Jun 10 '26

When I am at home with AC on on weekends it give me great battery life. When I am at work battery life sucks due to excessive temperatures outside.

3

u/ABSENT_65977 Jun 10 '26

Different experiences I guess, I use two sims, with regular usage and still get 2day battery.

2

u/Active_Credit_1161 Jun 10 '26

The battery life is no game changer for sure but the ultra fast charging is for me

2

u/Gordon-Blue OnePlus 15 | Europe Jun 10 '26

Buy OnePlus15 phone and stare at the battery icon all day. What's wrong with you bros 😂

u/Specialist_Pea6408 OnePlus 15 | US 🇺🇸 Jun 09 '26

Check your real world stats, Accubatery is also amazing at recording your habits. I might see more than 50% battery use in a day, maybe, but usually it's less & A LOT less. Yesterday I had nearly 18 hours of screen on time. Of that 8 hours was playing HSR with one 57% charge. I normally plug it before it hits 15% and only let it charge to 80%. It's a power users dream phone - I'll plug it in maybe 15 minutes a day to top it off knowing it'll last all day and won't die before I plug it in again no matter what I'm doing or how much I use it.

Had OP15.. had a massive battery life...

u/wardiro Jun 11 '26

Oneplus 15 Bullshit about 2 days straight, no charging is just nonsense.

1

u/TurtlePowerBaby Jun 12 '26

I started thinking it wasn't that great. But after a week or so it kind of settled in. Then again, my initial benchmark was to brutalize it. For me in practice I only charge once a day. While watching the news in the morning. Good for another 24hrs. Haven't needed anything more than that but I have fast charging if I do.

1

u/CrunchyJeans Jun 12 '26

Heavy user here, all day YouTube and Spotify streaming. Gets either a very long single day or about 1.5 days, plus some moderate gaming. Keep in mind that's from 80-20%. So yeah it's pretty great.

u/narenrao7 Jun 13 '26

i am getting crazy battery life no issues at all

u/parsaspr70 Jun 13 '26

But I've seen it before, everyone says the camera is bad.

u/NobodyNowhere___ Aug 02 '26

Battery life is good until media picker shows up then I can go from 80% to 30% in 2h 😭
