OnePlus 15 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.4/10
by
Sanket Vijayasarathy
, 13 Nov 2025
Senior Associate Editor with 10+ years in tech, reviewed 500+ gadgets.
Verdict
The OnePlus 15`s blazing-fast performance, 165fps gaming, stellar battery life and charging, and clean design language make it a near-perfect flagship phone worth buying. That said, the new design may divide opinion and the cameras lag behind those of the OPPO, iPhone, and Vivo flagships
Pros
- Stellar performance, especially while gaming
- Improved design and durability
- Excellent battery life and fast charging
- OxygenOS 16 is polished and smooth
Cons
- 165Hz only while gaming, downgraded resolution
- Camera performance is not the best in class
- DetailMax Engine is still in its infancy
Design: minimal and practical over flash and pizzazz
+
The OnePlus 15 bears less resemblance to its predecessor, the OnePlus 13, and more to the compact OnePlus 13s. This design change is intentional. When we reviewed the OnePlus 13 last year, we noted that the phone doesn't break any new ground in terms of design. It seems the brand heard us and several other publications that might have shared similar sentiments, and went ahead with a redesign that prioritises practicality over style.

Display: a visual treat for gamers
+
There's a lot going on with the display, so let's start with the most obvious changes. OnePlus has opted for a flat display and back over curved ones - a major indication that the phone is designed with mobile gamers in mind. The flat body makes it easier to grip the device and reduce accidental touches on the display, both of which are important when playing games.

Cameras: smart but not bright
+
OnePlus ended its partnership with Hasselblad, resulting in the development of its in-house DetailMax Engine computational algorithm. This change had everyone wondering just how good the cameras on the OnePlus 15 can be without Hasselblad's tuning. Well, there's a clear answer. The OnePlus 15 won't be the best camera phone in the premium segment. The camera system, while versatile, delivers decent photos in daylight and dramatic photos in low light, resulting in an overall passable photography that is good enough for social media. However, if you're looking for true pro-grade cameras, consider the upcoming OPPO Find X9 or the Vivo X300.

Battery life and charging: smokes the competition
+
The OnePlus 15 houses a 7,300mAh battery, which is the largest yet in a flagship phone in India and significantly larger than the 6,000mAh unit found in the OnePlus 13. OnePlus is utilising Silicon NanoStack technology, which features a 15% silicon content, allowing for a higher-density battery while maintaining a slimmer profile (8.1mm) compared to its predecessor (8.5mm). The phone is only marginally heavier, weighing 215 grams, as opposed to the OnePlus 13's 210 grams.
