I’m a big fan of OnePlus phones. From the day I got my invite to buy the OnePlus One to happily using the OnePlus 13 for much of 2025, OnePlus’s Android handsets have really resonated with me over the years. The company’s focus on smooth performance, long battery life, fast charging, unique hardware, and opinionated cameras are all things I value in an Android phone, and OnePlus has consistently delivered on them.
And yet, with the OnePlus 15, I find myself feeling rather conflicted. OnePlus did a lot right with the phone, and its commitment to performance, battery, and charging is more evident than ever. But at the same time, OnePlus sacrificed other parts of its identity to the point where I’m not even sure I recognize this as a OnePlus phone.
