Cons / What to Watch
- The chipset on the 4G variant (Helio G100 Ultimate) is less powerful compared to many 5G midrange competitors. Might lag in heavy gaming or resource-intensive tasks.
- Charging speed is good, but not the fastest in class (some rivals offer 65W, 80W, or more).
- Ultra-wide camera is basic (8 MP), may not perform as well as the primary lens, especially in low light.
- Some users have reported lag or issues after software updates
OnePlus 15 is one of the most anticipated smartphones
It’s particularly suited for:
- Users who do a lot of photography/video with mid-budget phones.
- People who value display smoothness and visuals.
- Those who want some of the premium features (water resistance, good build) but don’t want to pay flagship prices.
If instead your priority is gaming performance, ultra-fast charging, or the highest possible GPU power, you might consider looking at competitors in the same price bracket.
