Pros of the OnePlus 15
Record-Setting Battery Life: Features a massive 7,300 mAh Silicon NanoStack battery, which provides easily multi-day battery life and significantly outlasts most competing flagships.
Unmatched Performance: Equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and a triple-chip architecture, delivering top-tier speed, stability, and responsiveness for intense gaming (up to 165 FPS) and heavy use.
Superior Durability and Charging: Boasts extensive ingress protection with IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings (high-pressure water jets), alongside very fast 120W wired and 50W wireless charging.
High-Quality Triple 50MP Camera System: Features a versatile setup with a 50MP Main (OIS), 50MP Ultra-Wide, and 50MP Periscope Telephoto (3.5x optical zoom, OIS), offering high-resolution shots across all key focal lengths.
Cutting-Edge Display Technology: The 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display offers a silky-smooth 165Hz refresh rate and symmetrical, super-thin bezels.
Cons of the OnePlus 15
Downgraded Display Resolution: The screen resolution is 1.5K (1272x2772 pixels), which is a step down from the QHD+ resolution of its predecessor and some rivals, a trade-off for the 165Hz refresh rate.
Shorter Software Update Commitment: OnePlus only guarantees 4 years of major Android OS updates, which lags significantly behind the 7-year commitment offered by Samsung and Google flagships.
Removal of the Alert Slider: The iconic physical Alert Slider has been removed, replaced by a customizable "Plus Key," which is a notable loss for long-time OnePlus users.
Camera Processing Still Lags Rivals: While the camera hardware is excellent, some reviewers note that the image processing (DetailMax Engine), while improved, can still fall short of the quality from Google and Samsung in complex scenarios, especially low-light ultra-wide shots.
No Magnetic Accessories Support: The phone does not include the internal magnets required for modern Qi2 or MagSafe-style magnetic charging and accessories.
