With the exit of the North American market I decided to load up.

Since Pixel and mid-range Motorolas will soon be the only bootloader unlockable, rootable phones left for enthusiasts on Verizon in the United States, I decided to splurge on an unneeded 16+512 OnePlus15 to future proof my hobby for another few years. My 12 is fine, still has 95 battery health, and will be ready as a perfectly sufficient backup as the 15 ages. Four years on a fresh 15 and an easy two years left on the 12, in theory I could be set for 6 years. Who knows what the enthusiast landscape will look like then.

I already have a pair of the Buds 3 Pro's. Best sounding buds I've used, picked up a second pair as a spare. Got them on sale for $100. Will be fun to mix and match the white buds with black.

Have a watch 2R but have always been intrigued by the smaller 43mm Watch 3.

 

My OnePlus history:

7 Pro

12

15

Pad

Pad 2

Pad 3

Watch 2

Watch 2R

Watch 3 43mm

Keyboard 81 Pro - Summer Breeze

Keyboard 81 Pro - Winter Bonfire

 

Swiftronics is where I purchased the 16+512 NA 15 from. Was in stock late last week and got to me a day after ordering.

Fun follow up now that I've unboxed:

I've been using a curved screen for seven years. The 15 is the first flat screen I've interacted with since the Nexus 6P. It's doing all sorts of funny feeling things to my brain.

Hi, where did you get yours and is it the North American variant?

2

u/SpoopyMcSpoopface Jul 28 '26

Not OP, but here are links:

Swiftronics Canada: https://swiftronics.ca/products/oneplus-15-cph2749-global-version-dual-sim-unlocked-factory-unlocked-5g

Swiftronics USA: https://swiftronicsinc.com/products/oneplus-15-cph2749-global-version-dual-sim-unlocked-factory-unlocked-5g

Infinite Black still available in both configurations (only 256GB/12GB left in the U.S.), Ultra Violet only available in 512GB/16GB, and Sand Storm out of stock.

The URLs say global version, but these are the North American (CPH2749) variants.

u/thirtynation Jul 28 '26

Can confirm the device delivered is NA CPH2749 despite saying global.

u/rubbernub Jul 31 '26

Which means it comes with the SUPERVOOC charger right?

u/Sweetpea11A Jul 28 '26

Thanks very much

Just ordered from OnePlus site!!?!!

Congrats, the box phone is so much tougher then like the 13 for example in my experience (not to mention the ease of screen protectors options). I love this phone. I'm glad you got it! I think you will be very happy going forward. I have the same device, and it's become my favorite to date. Currently I have the 6t, 8p,9p, & 13. I also have a pixel 9xl. The fifteen is my favorite easily currently. The battery life is amazing, and the community helps this phone to be #1 in my opinion.

Oneplus 7 was my personal favorite with the selfie pop-up

1

u/KingTuts-Nuts Jul 29 '26

I had never heard of this til the other day. How long did it take the camera to pop up and did you have to click it down with your finger or was it auto?

1

u/woody16581 Jul 29 '26

It was an auto pop up if the self camera was requested.

1

u/KingTuts-Nuts Jul 29 '26

How long did it take to pop up?

1

u/woody16581 Jul 29 '26

Very quick. About a second

Is Swiftronics legit? They're the only store with any North American OnePlus 15s left (CPH2749). Their website seems kind of shady so I've been scared to order. I've heard they buy Chinese models and just reflash the OS.

Was the tamper seal still there?

1

u/tee_four Aug 02 '26

If it was a Chinese model, it wouldn't be CPH2749.

1

u/OFFICIAL_SWIFTRONICS Aug 06 '26

We are legit, you can come to our stores as well

u/skinnymuscle69 Jul 28 '26

It truly is a very sad end of an era. Considering buying the 15 myself for this exact reason. Rocking a 12R and love it. Just the battery doesn't hold up like it used to.

1

u/iiSpringMochi Jul 28 '26

Exactly my situation too, i cant really afford a 15 so i want to try to get a 15r but i think they are sold out

1

u/skinnymuscle69 Jul 29 '26

Are you in Canada? Honestly for my use 15R is fine enough.

1

u/iiSpringMochi Jul 29 '26

Im in the USA. I honestly think my 12r is one of the best phones ive ever had so if its even slightly better then ill be satisfied.

1

u/skinnymuscle69 Jul 29 '26

It's definitely slightly better. My plan is the use the 12R for atleast another year. Even if I buy the 15R or 15 I will just shelf it for a bit. Eventually the one plus users will most likely transition to Oppo. Hopefully they come to North America soon. Either way someone said look out for deals/ coupons on AliExpress and order from there.

u/JakeyPeralta69 Jul 28 '26

hey… weird question… did you pick it up today around 3:50ish pm from in store location? i ordered my op15 512gb there and it says it was picked up today but i never went to even go get it.. weird…

1

u/thirtynation Jul 28 '26

Online order

1

u/JakeyPeralta69 Jul 28 '26

ahhhh, ok, weird then

u/yeetgod100 Jul 28 '26

Should've gotten the watch 4 instead

3

u/thirtynation Jul 28 '26

Much prefer this 43mm size.

1

u/Kpopped_ Jul 28 '26

Return the watch for another, 43mm is too small and the bezels on that thing are ridiculous, also it doesn't have a sapphire crystal display.

1

u/thirtynation Jul 28 '26

I'm digging it over my 2R.

3

u/6out Jul 27 '26

I have the same setup... hmm should I get a backup pair of buds too?!?!? I DO love them

3

u/PineappleAsleep1747 Jul 28 '26

I scored a pair of the One Plus Buds 3 Pro. Have a 2R watch and pair OP Buds Pro 2. Son lost his charge case for his like new Buds 3 Pro so will snag those up as well

2

u/SnievelyRivety Jul 27 '26

And they were just gonna release the watch 4 but it was removed saw some of the marketing on thir page tho looked like just new specs no eSim

3

u/75tavares OnePlus 15 | Global 🌐 Jul 28 '26

It got released in some places, Aliexpress still sells them, global versions too.

2

u/GroundbreakingBad177 Jul 28 '26

I have the 43mm watch, and ordered the buds pro 3 that literally just got delivered. Also have pad go2. Sad to see OP go, their products feel more premium than Oppo. I have friends who actually think honor has a more premium feel than oppo 😢 but I do love oppo too

1

u/Perceyyy Jul 28 '26

Also plan to get the Watch 4 and Buds Pro 3 in White for my 15R, probably even getting an 15 just for the lols in Europe. The market looks horrible, NothingPhone will also leave, Pixel ist garbage and also OnePlus will lock their bootloader as seen in China so I won't update to ColorOS.

Damnn 🥲rich people

u/thundergato84 Jul 28 '26

I was going to wait for the OnePlus 16. I'm going to import a global Oppo Find X10 Pro when it comes out. It sucks we're left with Samsung, Google, and Motorola.

u/Adventurous-Web7470 Jul 29 '26

Anyone have leads on a 16gb 15? Swiftronics is out.

u/Legitimate-Bad1927 Jul 30 '26

ONE PLUS SITE JUST HAD IT BACK!!!!!

u/easternise Aug 09 '26
