OnePlus 15

My first OnePlus was 12R when it came out. Used it till last month when I got 15 because work was paying for it. In terms of performance, I dont see a difference, guess flagships have matured. However the 15 is a beat when it comes to battery life. I literally get 2-3 days of battery life. Never worry about battery life when going out or at anytime. Pkus it's the flagship Snapdragon soc so it runs anything. Money well spent. Too sad that they are closing shop

Wow. I love my OnePlus 15 and plan to use it as long as I can. I guess it'll be some sort of GrapheneOS setup next.

Oneplus 15 uses a Si/C battery like other higher end Chinese phones currently. It doesn't get hot during normal operation (I don't play games on it) and since I don't use fast charging, for now it looks like it will work for a long time. Still get easily 2 days on a 80% charge.

I worked for OnePlus a few years ago, managing its Amazon account. The culture leaned heavily toward 996: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. I was there during a particularly tumultuous period, and by that point a lot of the staffing had already been hollowed out. That said, the OnePlus 11, 12, 13, and 15 are great phones. The 13 and 15 in particular have insane battery life. I have never managed to drain either one to zero in a single day. As far as I know, OnePlus and Motorola are also the only major companies selling phones with silicon-carbon batteries in the United States. It is ridiculous that Samsung and Apple still have not adopted them. One of my biggest frustrations at OnePlus was how much of the internal tooling remained in Chinese or used poor English translations. Most of the management was also based in China and often did not seem to understand the US market very well. Probably the most ridiculous example was an internal invoice or payment-submission portal. It was awful to use, but the terminology was even stranger. A submission apparently needed to be “signed” and then “sealed.” I never asked anyone what the original Chinese term was, but I assumed it referred to the use of a Chinese name chop or company seal. Name chops are stone stamps bearing a person’s or company’s name that are pressed into ink and applied to documents as a form of authorization. It was a small thing, but it captured the broader problem pretty well: internal processes designed around Chi…

sad to see but not unexpected. Picked up a OnePlus 15 last winter to screw around with GameHub since the 15 has a lot of ram and the most recent snapdragon 8 elite. It’s such a solidly designed device with a nice flavor of mostly stock android. software updates have been lacking, which was the writing on the wall. Rip to a real one.

doesn't happen in my case (OnePlus 15/Android 16, Firefox background usage allowed in some "smart" mode whatever that means, doesn't suck the battery in background although it's on most of the time).

What a shame, the OnePlus 15 is an excellent phone, especially due to one of the longest battery lives of any I've seen recently, easily lasting 2 days without charging and even acts as a powerbank for reverse charging my wireless earbuds. I guess I'll have to import Chinese phones now for the US, that's where the innovation is rather than the Apple Samsung duopoly currently present in the US.

The OnePlus 15 has firmly established itself as one of the best mainstream smartphones for gaming enthusiasts. While dedicated gaming phones like the RedMagic 11 Pro exist, they often face limited availability, making the OnePlus 15 an attractive and accessible alternative. Its combination of elite performance, a stunning display, and exceptional charging capabilities creates a compelling package for gamers who don’t want to compromise on daily usability.
