Overview
- New reviews report class‑leading endurance from the 7,300 mAh battery, including a 25:13 lab result and multi‑day real‑world use, with smooth 165Hz gaming limited to supported titles.
- GSMArena’s latest poll shows buyers split, citing smaller camera sensors, a lower‑resolution display versus the OnePlus 13, and a launch price comparable to the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
- Houston Chronicle notes iPhone‑like hardware and software shifts, the removal of Hasselblad tuning and the Alert Slider, and mixed color consistency across the three 50MP cameras.
- U.S. availability remains constrained pending FCC approval with no broad carrier sales, as OnePlus lists $899 for 12GB/256GB and $999 for 16GB/512GB configurations.
- Black Friday comparisons highlight aggressive alternatives and discounts, with Xiaomi 15 Ultra positioned as a strong camera buy and the older OnePlus 13 undercutting the 15 on price.
