OnePlus 15 Hits Stores After Global Debut as Early Reviews Tout Power and Endurance

Early reviews highlight speed, battery endurance and camera versatility, with some concern over value at ₹72,999 in India.

Overview

  • The phone is on sale in India via official channels and Amazon at ₹72,999 for 12GB/256GB and ₹79,999 for 16GB/512GB, with GSMArena listing global prices of €950–€1,100, £850–£980, $900–$1,000 and ₹73,000–₹80,000.
  • Core hardware includes Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED up to 165 Hz, a 7,300 mAh battery, and 120W wired plus 50W wireless charging.
  • Reviewers report flagship-class performance and sustained gaming with an “always‑on 120fps” mode and a tri‑chip design for touch and Wi‑Fi responsiveness, noting only mild warmth without major throttling.
  • The triple 50 MP rear cameras with OnePlus’ DetailMax engine deliver strong daylight photos and robust video (up to 8K/30 and 4K/120), though low light shows some noise and telephoto detail softens beyond roughly 7x; GSMArena notes the sensors are smaller than on the OnePlus 13.
  • OxygenOS 16 adds AI features such as Plus Mind and Google Gemini integration, with promises of four years of OS updates and six years of security patches and reviewers praising real‑world battery life that often extends into a second day.
