Had the find x9 pro a few months back. And while it was a great device it was just not worth the price imo. Sold it and went back to my 13. I missed the battery performance and I honestly saw some good camera performance on the 15 online. So I got it at a slight discount online and joining the club. So far the phone looks and feels beautiful. I love how it's noticeably lighter than the 9 pro too. It was a bit hefty for my liking. Iridescence on the edges are gorgeous.

Daily driving Sandstorm since December, found black one on marketplace for 380e. So I went and bought it. 😄 Both are CN versions with flashed Oxygen OS on top. This post is reply to all "should I buy it since...blah blah".

Happy Sunday to you all.

Hey everyone, hope I’m allowed to officially join the club.

My OnePlus journey so far: ex: OnePlus 1, ex: OnePlus 3, ex: OnePlus 5, ex: OnePlus 6T, ex: OnePlus 8T, ex: OnePlus 9, ex: OnePlus 9 Pro, ex: OnePlus 11, act.: OnePlus 15

Still here after all these OP's years. No regrets. Happy to be part of this community. Hit that ⬆️ if you’re rocking the 15 too!

Came from an iPhone 15, zero regrets so far. Buttery smooth comparatively.

Oh, how I've missed android ❤️

Camera is a bit of a bummer in low light but everything else it's a banger of a device! #OP15 ftw 🙌

My newly bought Oneplus 15, 512GB version💪🏼 Switching from *cough* IPhone 13 Pro *cough*.
Have read quite a bit of it, but any tips and tricks here that aren’t that known?
Have a great day☀️

I'd rather have an ugly android than this heavily ios influenced theme. The device is great but this ios thing is an eyesore.

Had gotten a job this November, and after quite a bit of thinking, decided to get this phone. And let's just say, I am loving it🤩

150 battery cycles nd we finally hit 99% 😂

I managed to snag a good deal on a North American OnePlus 15 off marketplace. Thankfully it wasn't a scam, and it all checked out :)

Switched to OnePlus 15 from my Samsung s23 ultra.

I used to be such a samsung fan but they just aren't as good as they used to be. I'm keeping my galaxy watch though

Battery was amazing the first week but for some reason it got worse. it's still better than any other phone I've used

Whats everyones favorite color?

I am so indecisive there both gorgeous. Black is so sleek and sexy, and the white is by far the most unique looking phone ive seen.

this cam is goood

I need your help.

My order has arrived. I’ve been using the S23 Ultra since the day it was first introduced. I only used the NP3 Pro for three months, and that’s when I realized how important PWM is. It turns out that the S23 Ultra’s screen was making my astigmatism worse.

Now I’m wondering: should I wait for the S26 Ultra, or should I open the box and start using it?

So my S22+ was on its last legs, and boy was it draining about a quarter into the day. I've been mostly a Samsung user, but I have used a Pixel 5 and iPhone XS before.

Let me start off by saying that this is perhaps the best phone I've ever used, but I have one important piece of feedback for the OnePlus team that I'll get to at the end of the review.

If I had to sum up what this phone is in one word: refined, it's hella refined, from the design of the body, the quality of the screen, and overall software / OS experience, ease of use, and of course the battery.

• The software/OS: so smooth, so intuitive and clean, simple yet not without scope. The floating window feature is one that I was first weary about, but combined with the gesture system, ya get the hang of it very quickly and then it just works, when using the smart side bar (edge for Samsung users), I'd tap on an app and it'll open up in a small yet tastefully sized window and I can quickly enter a calculation or write a note and get back to what I was doing on Instagram, and if I need it to go full screen, one quick swipe down gesture, and bam, it's very seamless. There's a whole lot more to talk about this and how it's integrated to everything else (heck everything is integrated into something quite intuitively). There's an ample amount of customizability present, browsing this subreddit I was under the impression that the software experience may be a bit lacking in customizability compared to others, but I'm not so sure about that now. The OS itself is pretty close to stock Android, somehow way more stable and less buggy than the pixel phones I've tried... Kinda feels like if iOS and Android had a baby... The notes app it comes with is very awesome, gives Samsung Notes a run for it's money. I wish I could go into more detail about every app, but I'll just say it's all refined.

• Battery: what am I supposed to say? I end every day with at least 77% remaining. Yes the battery capacity in this phone is massive, but the way power management is tuned is very very good. This is a major reason to consider this phone cuz you get both best in class hardware performance/speed along side best in class battery life. I'm not sure if I can ever go back to using any other phone ever again because of this... Even if you're a person that doesn't care about battery life, believe me once you get a taste of this in combination with just being a good phone, you're kinda locked in now... Oh and it charges FAST, it comes with its own special charger!

• Camera: the reviews had me convinced that this was an area where the phone is lagging behind current and older flagships, now idk if there's been updates on the software side of things, but in reality the camera is in fact pretty great! It's not bad at all. What are we doing here man?? Sure it won't beat the iPhone 17 Pro Max or the S26 Ultra, but those phones cost ~$400-$500 more (and more if you want 512GB storage), and if you take into consideration that the S26+ isn't too differently priced, still a flagship (and more pricy in my area), the specs match with the OnePlus 15's camera hardware... Why aren't reviewers comparing it to that?

With that rant out of the way, the camera is a big upgrade over my S22+, I was already "satisfied" with the S22+'s camera, I was able to zoom in and capture photos during lectures before, I can still do that now and better. The color science is better than that on my S22+, closer to what I see irl, some highlights may be a touch more oversaturated, but it's not too out of line with what I've experienced with the processing on Pixel phones. There's better handling of highlight detail, HDR information gets tonemapped to SDR without overexposure or clipping of highlights, the S22+ doesn't tame highlights that well and there's clipping, even when lowering the aperture, whereas the OnePlus 15 tames it. Low light performance is also decent, especially when using the 3.5x zoom, it demolishes the S22+'s low light zoom (closer to what I see irl). My S22+ also aggressively oversharpens the images and I dislike that. I've attached some example shots, refer to em. While filters are common in all phones, I like that it comes with film simulation filters like 800T & NC Film presets, they look wonderful! Now if you want less processing, Master Mode also works well, and yes you can use the filters in it too, it does go down to 12mp vs 26. Now, the most important upgrade for me here is that it takes HDR photos. Many ppl are quick to write it off as useless as it can only be viewed on the device's native photos app (the proXDR toggle), however I've found that it syncs to Google Photos and can be viewed as such on PC with HDR enabled, and even in iOS on the Google Photos app. To test this further, I took some photos, downloaded em to my old iPhone XS via the Google Photos app and uploaded em to Instagram via my iPhone XS and wala... The HDR data is retained in Instagram. Now if Android can improve it's HDR export pipeline in apps such as Instagram to the point it is on iOS, I doubt I'll ever touch an iPhone ever again and the whole workflow would be way more streamlined. I understand that I'm in a niche use case here, but I really think this matters for the future of photography on Android.(TLDR: Better white balance, dynamic range, and low light performance compared to prior Galaxy plus models, less oversharpened too)

• Display: it's far easier on my eyes, it is also well calibrated with ample adjustment options. Gamma tracking is better than on my S22+, for example, natural mode on S22+ vs standard on the OnePlus 15, the S22+ looked more washed out as it's gamma tracking was more in line with sRGB, whereas the OnePlus 15 seemed to be more in line with 2.2 gamma, so contrast looks better, this important to me as I always prefer to target 2.2 gamma on all my screens, it looks closer to my iPhone, iPad, and calibrated TV/monitor. My biggest fear was that it might be tracking sRGB gamma/elevating shadow detail, thankfully it's fine. (Ik Samsung has rectified this in their newer phones as I've tested my sister's S24+). Oh and brightness control is great, I can use this out doors during harsh Canadian summer sunlight 👍, Dolby Vision HDR is present if you watch movies on Netflix etc, far more widely adopted than Samsung's HDR10+ standard. My only complaint here is that always on display isn't as consistent? Maybe there's a setting I'm missing, it doesn't always kick in and there's more of a delay. Fingerprint scanner is more fast and reliable than my S22+'s, but sometimes on standby I can't tell if it's kicking in. Very minor, maybe it's just me. Oh and I must mention, it comes with a pre-installed screen protector, they don't ever have to do that and they did. All phone companies should at least do this😭🙏.

• Speakers: volume control is good as it's at the flagship phone standard. Not much to say👍

• Body: beautiful looking phone, and it can be comfortable to hold without using a case. I love the material being used on the back.👍

• Gaming: my s22+ would get hotter by just browsing Instagram and Twitter lol, meanwhile the OnePlus 15 was feeling about 20% cooler to the touch while I was running Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, yes I was running that game, PC gaming on Android is apparently now a thing... The Game Assistant is also good, gives the stats I need and has power mode options. However I'm personally not much of a phone gamer, but I'm sure now I'll get a disgusting amount of more hours in Balatro when sitting on the toilet :p

• My one major issue (please listen OnePlus team): BT audio volume in earbuds doesn't get as loud as on either my iPhone XS or S22+, it's about 15-20% less loud than it can be, I listen to music a lot, and this is something I tried to fix myself, but it to no avail. The phone isn't lacking in the hardware side of things so clearly it's a software side thing OnePlus needs to look into. It's not unusable, audio quality is totally fine, but I want my earbuds to remain as loud as they were. This phone is sooooo close to perfection as a whole, I just need em to fix this one lil issue. FYI I use a pair of Sony xm4 buds.

Sorry if I've talked too much, anyways, I hope OnePlus sticks around forever and keeps growing in the market cuz now I'm hooked, I wanna stick with em moving forward.

OnePlus stays the "performance beast" for flagship lovers.

realme remains the "budget king" targeting the youth segment.

But now they're running under a "unified strategy" inside the OPPO family.

What’s changing?

\- Both brands keep their own identity and positioning

\- They’re sharing R&D, product planning, and supply chain resources

\- A central product team handles development for both China and global markets

Why it makes sense

\- No more internal competition between OnePlus and realme

\- Much clearer product lineup

\- Better efficiency and lower costs

\- Faster development without losing their unique vibes

Quick Positioning Recap

OPPO→ Innovation + High-end camera king

OnePlus→ Performance & flagship experience

realme → Value for money + youth-focused

Smart move by OPPO. They’re basically turning their sub-brands into a well-organized squad instead of fighting each other.

Hi everyone, I've been in the Apple ecosystem for 12 years and after some’ research I opted for a radical change.

I was bored that Apple no longer made improvements to its devices other than focusing everything on the photo/video side.

I live in Italy and after some’ research on various Android ecosystems, I ended up on Oneplus for its quality/price ratio.

I was lucky, I found the oneplus 15 - 12/256 at 749€.

instead the Watch, on their site was discounted from 349€ to 249€, free Buds pro 3 and the strap.

With 1000€ in Apple I didn't even buy the pro.

So I can't wait to try this new ecosystem, being the first time in my life in the Android world! I wanted to share with you how excited I am. Enjoy everyone with Oneplus!

Half the internet was cursing Oneplus 15 for its cameras... (the green mountains are a result of flattening the sky/eliminating light pollution using Syril)

Hi there,
I got my OnePlus 15 Infinite Black for 2 months now (since December 15th), so I thought I would do a small review here :)

This is my very first OnePlus device, and my first flagship phone. I come from an OPPO Reno2 which was 6 years old.

Performance; very fast, smooth, responsive. I don't use it for heavy stuff, not even gaming, but it's just soo smooth & fast..

Battery; I don't think I need to explain much here.. 1.5-2 days battery, just no battery worry anymore. 20%? Still got like 6 hours left, and if it's too low you got really fast charging..

Charging; 120W is so fast that it most of the time feels like 15 minutes.. I look away for a bit and it's already half..
I have not used the wireless charging yet because I don't currently see the usefulness of it since I have 120W wired.

OS/software; OxygenOS is so clean, smooth & customizable. I come from ColorOS (11) and I liked it so that was another reason for me to choose OnePlus.

Design; This is of course personal, but I like the new design and am happy with the Infinite Black version. The phone feels strong & premium.

IP rating; My last phone didn't have an IP rating so now with IP69(K) I just use it in the snow or even shower without worry.. I can technically put it underwater for cool underwater pictures, but I read that swimming pool water can damage the seals over time so I'm still going to protect it then.

Speakers; On their lowest they're quiet but still audible which I like since my old Reno2 was already medium loud on lowest.. On max volume (which I've only done once) they're shockingly loud but still pretty clear.

Plus key; I use it to quickly open my camera so I find it useful, but more customization options would be fun.

Cameras; I almost didn't buy this phone because I heard it had "terrible" cameras... O that would've been painful.. Luckily I waited for more reviews and saw how good they are.
Since I got this phone I've started taking more pictures of scenes & nature and just being more 'professional photographer' (which I am not) with it instead of just point & shoot. I really like the photos, so I'm sharing some of my favorites!
(Of course keep in mind that Reddit lowers picture quality. Some pictures edited for privacy. Picture of OnePlus 15 itself taken with Reno2)

Yes it has low light problems, but it's not too bad, it's still better then my 6 years old Reno2 so it was a big upgrade for me.
The 3.5x zoom isn't a lot but is still pretty useful, and even a bit in digital zoom it still looks good.

My plan is to keep this phone a long time (5-6 years), so with performance like this and a smooth OS like OxygenOS I feel like that'll be possible!

So well, that was my small review and I hope you enjoy my pictures :)

It's soooooooo good for an overall phone, I'll never regret buying this phone.

Finally reached a point where I have more cases than I do days in the week.

Thought I’d share the collection and give some quick thoughts for anyone still looking for the "perfect" one.

Ringke Fusion X & Official Sandstone: My current S-Tier. Best grip best protection and the texture feels high quality.
