Hey everyone,

I'm planning to buy a new phone around August 15, and I've narrowed my choice down to the OnePlus 15 512gb and iPhone 17 base 256gb

I've spent way too much time researching this — probably around 1.5 months — and I'm still going back and forth, so I'd really appreciate opinions from people who actually own/use the OnePlus 15.

My current phone is a Redmi K50i, which is almost 4 years old. Its battery has degraded badly at this point, so I'm looking for something that I can comfortably keep for around 4 years or more.

I'm fully aware about the servicing is now available in oppo service centres , and oxygenos is getting discontinued for colorsos but I went to a store that had oppo find x9 pro which feels like OnePlus 15

Why I'm leaning towards the OnePlus 15

The hardware fits my usage extremely well:

7300 mAh battery

120W charging

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

256/512GB storage

LTPO high-refresh-rate display

Excellent gaming performance

Dual SIM

Android flexibility/APKs

Better file management

IR blaster

Strong connectivity

I prefer its design/shape

I don't care that much about having the absolute best camera

I also play Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, but I'm not a hardcore mobile gamer. I'd probably play around 3-5 hours on a heavy gaming day, maybe around 6-8 days a month. That's on medium graphics 60fps

Why I'm considering the iPhone 17

There are a few things that genuinely make me nervous about spending this much on a OnePlus:

Long-term reliability / brand trust

Green-line/display concerns

Service availability in Japan

I'm planning to move to Japan around 2027, and I may still be using this phone in 2029–2030. One of my biggest concerns is what happens if I need a battery replacement or hardware repair in Japan.

Apple obviously gives me more peace of mind here because of its established service network.

However, I would have to give up/adapt to quite a few things with the iPhone:

Android/APK freedom

Modded/third-party apps

Android-style file management

Faster charging

Dual physical SIM convenience

Some gaming/battery convenience

My existing Android workflow

I'm willing to make those compromises if the overall ownership experience is genuinely worth it.

One thing I'm especially unsure about: battery

My Redmi's terrible battery experience has probably made me paranoid about battery life 😭.

So I'm wondering:

If I play Genshin/HSR for around 3-4 hours on ~6-8 days per month, is that a reasonable usage pattern for the OnePlus 15 over 3–4 years?

And for those who have had the phone for a while:

How is battery health holding up?

Any unusual battery drain?

How bad does heating get during long gaming sessions?

Any green-line/display problems?

Any serious software bugs?

How has the phone held up after months of use?

Have you needed a warranty/service? If yes, how was the experience?

Most importantly

If you were in my situation, would you buy the OnePlus 15 or iPhone 17?

I'm not looking for "iPhone is better" or "OnePlus has better specs."

I'm specifically interested in whether the OnePlus 15 is a phone you would confidently keep for 4+ years, especially if you're paying around ₹80–90k for it.

I'm perfectly willing to hear negative experiences. If you own a OnePlus 15 and regret buying it, please tell me why. That's actually the kind of answer I'm looking for.

I'm also gonna make a similar post on iphone 17 subreddit for more opinions

Thanks! Your help will be appreciated! 🙏

Based on v1 kit , what is her best team ? Are they buffing Sunday to be on her team ???

Got E2 yao guang while pulling for E1 (double 5*)

Does her E2 even do that much for sw999 and i should be happy ? Cuz like E1 is good I know , but what about E2 yao

Making this poll because I couldn't find an exact post about comparison on these two skins , they have the same cost that is 2375 vp, which one is better out of the two according to y'all?

I prefer ayakashi phantom though, lemme see everyone's thoughts on this question
