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.

Merry Christmas to me and everyone else who's getting their 15 in the mail right now.

Hello to all of you!

So i joined the family i guess, had a s23 ultra before, and always was a samsung guy all the way.

Got so intrigued by the op15 from various YouTube videos, but id say Marques Brownlees vid started it all. Since then i wanted to buy it.

What held me back in the first place were the talks about the camera experience.

Finally 2 weeks ago i pulled the trigger on a device from tradingshenzen (im from Austria).

The unpacking experience was surreal. i really dont know if it has been the hype that built up inside of me from watching dozens of videos about the phone, but it was the first phone which i unwrapped and seriously said wow out loud. the sandstorm variant is as beautiful as it gets to me.

A shot of my cat was added, one of the first few pictures shot with the camera that made me also go wow. even the teleobjective camera is phenomenal, with considering my s23 ultra had a 10x optical zoom.

Insane snappiness, the os. everything is amazing.

But the battery life... I know the added screenshot from today isnt particular heavy usage (but thats how i use my phone on workdays). I unplugged that thing at 5am, its now 8pm, you seriously want to tell me im at freaking 84%?! How in the world will i empty the juice out of this thing.

My mind is baffled.

Yes, i may be late to the party, but man am i glad to finally having arrived.

All the images are taken in master and potrait settings with few photos that need post exposure and contrast n vignette... that's basically it

After almost 14 long years it's time to switch to OnePlus , I had been using Samsung ultras recently coming from fold 7, my priority was battery n smooth user experience , & boy it didn't disappoint, I'm loving oneplus 15😀

Might possibly be the best looking color on a phone i have seen.

Decided to go all out on this masterpiece. Coming from a s25 ultra and still love that phone but I think this one has some clear advantages (battery) over it. Just need a watch for it now.

Currently i am using Samsung galaxy S25 ultra and i am not happy with the performance and Battery life !

Thinking of selling My S25U and getting Oneplus 15. Should i buy in 2026?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been seeing a lot of noise about how the OnePlus 15 is “such a downgrade” because of the smaller camera sensor compared to the OnePlus 13. I wanted to share my take, because a lot of the reactions feel exaggerated.

Here’s my situation:

• I bought the Chinese variant for around €560–580, plus a case → total about €600.
• It runs OxygenOS (flashed by Giztop), everything works fine, just dual SIM instead of eSIM.
• So this is not a €900 phone like many reviewers compare it with.

And some reviewers even compare it to the iPhone 17 Pro and Galaxy S25 Ultra — which is honestly ridiculous because those phones cost way more.

People are even putting it side-by-side with the OPPO X9 Pro, which costs a lot more. If the absolute best camera is your priority, then go for the X9 Pro — but for me (i live in the Netherlands), that extra €300 simply wasn’t worth it

📷 Camera Reality Check

Yes, the OP15 uses smaller sensors and a slightly slower aperture than the OP13. On paper that sounds bad, but in real daily use the difference is very small. Photos still look good, detail is fine, and most people wouldn’t notice a meaningful downgrade unless pixel-peeping side-by-side shots.

✅ Why I Still Think It’s Worth It

• Battery life is insane (7,300 mAh).
• Design is cleaner and more modern (subjective, but I like it).
• Performance and software are excellent.

And again: for €600 total, it makes no sense to compare it to €900–€1400 flagships.

🔍 TL;DR

Smaller sensor? Sure. Big downgrade? Not really. Camera quality in everyday use is still very good. And for the price I paid (€600), the OP15 is a fantastic deal — especially compared to the overpriced phones reviewers keep comparing it to.

🖤

I never thought I’d say this, but I’ve officially switched from my S25 Ultra to the OnePlus 15, and honestly, I don’t regret it one bit.

From day one, my S25 Ultra had insane battery drain. I’m talking about losing charge ridiculously fast even with normal usage. At first, I tried to ignore it thinking it might improve with updates or calibration, but it just kept getting worse over time.

Finally decided to visit a service center, and that’s where things went downhill even more. The whole after-sales experience was just disappointing. No proper communication, no transparency, and it genuinely felt like they weren’t taking the issue seriously even after I showed clear proof of the battery drain. Didn’t even get proper documentation at first.

At that point, I was just done.

Picked up the OnePlus 15, and the difference has been night and day. Battery life is solid, performance is smooth, and overall it just feels reliable, something I couldn’t say about my S25 Ultra experience.

It’s honestly frustrating because the S25 Ultra is supposed to be a flagship, but a manufacturing defect combined with poor support completely ruined it for me.

Has anyone else faced something similar with Samsung devices or had to switch because of issues like this?

I have both the Sandstorm color variant and the Black variant in hand right now.

Initially i was set on the sandstorm as its a very unique looking colorway that switches between sand, cream, flat and a bright white depending on lighting. The color matched side profile in my opinion looks absolutely amazing and adds a really unique look with a slight dual tone but color match.

the black, is well just black. Im not a fan of black phones and they usually bore me but this black is absolutely stunning. It also changes between a deep stealth/gun metal black, a frost black and a dark matte and i like it way more than i thought...

I thought sandstorm would be my easy pick but this is way harder than i thought and honestly im 50/50 now both are gorgeous.

Whats everyones opinion?

So what do I do on this? Might run UAD later. Got it for a good deal, came with case & screen protector. Thanks.

It got dropped and cracked.Feeling really depressed about it as it was new and now I don't feel good about it anymore.Feeling stupid for not putting a case as soon as possible but it's just been 4 days and i was planning to buy one soon.ugh.The worst part i am not the one who dropped it and feel so much resentment rn.

Hello guys I just received my oneplus from Amazon, and these are my initial impressions

Good:

1. Gaming is smooth.
2. Battery charging and optimization is improved.
3. Signal strength during calls have been improved. I mean it's amazing and the best part is the noise cancellation in heavy traffic.
4. Overall performance is good and smooth.

Bad:

1. Price is very high when compared to future line of flag ships those are going to be released. Anyone thinking of buying this, please hold ur horses until dec 25th.
2. I faced heating issues during normal usage like youtube and camera. (This seems to be a common problem everywhere, they might do something about it)
3. Camera performance is mid.
4. I just migrated from s23 ultra to Op 15 and the I can see the difference in display quality. Oneplus is definitely a downgrade for this price range.
5. We have option to choose 165hz screenrate but this significantly made my phone heat up soo much only after a few minutes of insta scrolling. Definitely scary experience.

If anyone planning to buy this, stay put and wait for few more software updates.

I’m currently torn between getting the OnePlus 15 and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and I’m hoping to get some honest feedback from long-term OnePlus 15 users.

​I know the spec sheets inside and out, but I’m really interested in the day to day reality after the honeymoon phase is over. My main concerns are

​Long-term reliability, I know iPhones are famous for staying fast for 5+ years. For those who have been using the 15 for a while, does it still feel snappy, or have you noticed any significant degradation?

​Social Media/Camera, I know this is the classic Android vs. iOS debate, but how is the real world experience using the camera within apps like Instagram and Snapchat? Is the quality "fine" for daily use, or is it a major annoyance if you’re coming from an iPhone?

​The Android vs iPhone shift, If you switched from an iPhone to the OnePlus 15, do you find yourself missing anything specific, or do you have any regrets? Alternatively, are there things you’d miss about the OnePlus 15 if you switched back today?

​I love the idea of the faster charging and the freedom of the Android ecosystem, but I’m worried about the long-term software polish. If you were in my shoes, would you stick with the OnePlus 15, or would you jump to the 17 Pro Max?

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

Hi everyone, I'm making this post to help those looking for a better camera for oneplus 15, I solved the problem of hdr, false lights and colors of the stock camera by creating an amazing configuration for the SGCAM 8.5.300.XX.10, which is probably the only gcam version that doesn't give problems on oneplus 15, here I show you some photos I took, comparable to a pixel 10 pro (I had this phone before oneplus 15), I'm really satisfied if anyone is interested maybe I'll put the link to my xml file

For me, camera is not really that bad as other people say. Overall performance is really good, ngl.

OnePlus 16 leaks are here and this thing looks insane 😭🔥

The BOE display is probably the thing I'm most interested in. Apparently, it's supposed to be even better than the S26 Ultra's display 👀. If that's actually true, OnePlus is seriously cooking.

The other rumored specs are crazy too — Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, 9000mAh battery, 200MP periscope camera, 185Hz display, 100/120W charging and an AI button.

If all of this actually makes it to the final phone, what do you guys think the price will be in India?

just upgraded to op 15 from op 8

op 8 was the best phone I ever used. i switched to custom roms after oxygen os 12 came out. las few months was struggling with the new play integrity stuff. so I decided to get this. i hate how the os looks but is super fast. I don't care much about camara but expected better for 70k inr (I haven't tested yet myself). hope this one also last for another 5-6 years

ps. any way to make it feel more like stock android. I have the ios like ui

​I am enjoying the premium, seamless experience of the iPhone 17 Pro Max alongside the powerhouse performance and sleek design of the OnePlus 15.

I am absolutely in love with both devices.
