Hello all! Long post ahead. I need some opinions and different outlooks to affirm my decisions and get a different perspective. ( I am based in India btw)

I currently use the OG OnePlus Nord, been about 5-6 years. I am considering an upgrade. I am interested in getting another OnePlus device, mainly the 12, 13, 13s, and 15. This purchase would mainly be from the used market, as I feel I'll get it comparatively cheaper, and it will still last as long for me. Please do take note of the prices I'm considering.

OnePlus 12: Wanted to get this as it's supposed to be the best OnePlus, with the camera and all. However, as I researched further, I realised it wouldn't be as future-proof and would have considerably older battery tech. Also, a lot of reports of the motherboard issues, particularly for this model, made me think otherwise. Thinking of spending less than 35k INR or 365.39 USD for the 512 GB.

OnePlus 13: The same phone with more future-proofing. I think I can get used to the technical downgrade, as I am coming from a 5-year-old phone. The device is great, will work well for 3+ years. In comparison to the current market, though, the battery is less (and with the new data, that OnePlus 13 has actually a 5400 mah battery instead of 6000 mah, which was a punch in the gut).

I feel I'll get a good flagship experience with this phone. Also, despite its big size, this phone feels comfortable to hold ( without case, haven't checked with a case). Considering paying 40 to 45k for 512 GB and 50 to 60k INR or 522 to 627 USD for the 1 TB version.

OnePlus 13S: A phone I initially loved during the launch. I love the size. However, it is technically a downgrade in certain areas. As I said, for me, any phone will be an upgrade, but I would prefer a well-rounded device. I am considering this phone because of its size. Willing to pay up to 45k INR or 470.11 USD for the 512 GB version.

OnePlus 15: The latest tech. This phone would be the best for future-proofing and getting the best tech and battery. The camera, even if people say it is a downgrade, I feel it would be good enough for me. (Although the 13 or 12 might be better in low light). However, even though this phone is the same size as the 13, it feels much bigger in hand, and feels a bit uncomfortable ( without a case). The comfort isn't a major factor for me, but the 13, 13s, and the 15 are the phones I've held, and I noticed that in my first impression. Willing to pay 60 to 65k INR or $626 to $681 USD for the 512 GB.

Current OnePlus Nord: Regardless of buying a new phone, I do plan on going to a local shop and getting the device repaired a bit. I will change the battery, the stuck power button and other small issues for about less than 3-4k INR or less than 40 USD. Planning to use the Infinity X custom ROM, thus giving my device Android 16 and better performance. I can also try using banking apps.

This phone might be my secondary, mainly as a navigation device and for other stuff. I can also see myself using this phone for another 2 more years as my primary device, and maybe look at purchasing a new phone later on.

The main reason for getting a OnePlus and a new phone is because of the fact that OnePlus is shifting identities and may eventually shut down in India, and I have always wanted a OnePlus flagship. And the ongoing price hikes and all made me realise I should buy a new phone, thus futureproofing and being steady for the next 5 years. Getting from the second-hand market would help reduce the prices considerably. I also need storage, as my current phone is filled up (128 GB/ I know I can back up and free up space, so that's there).

Now, I need your actual opinions, and please, not one-line answers. Looking for people who have also researched the same, and those users who have used these devices. Also, don't be biased towards any particular phone.

Q: Is my outlook reasonable? Do you have any other devices you'd say might be a better choice in this market (second-hand market too)? Also, are the prices for the second-hand phones correct and reasonable? Let me know your perspectives and help a buddy out!

I had registered my fingerprint in one plus 13, it unlocked very fast i was always curious if it actually checked my finger , i had recently added glass screen protector to my phone and i was in class my classmate opened my phone 5 times out of the 10 times he tried , it was very embarrassing, some boys said this phone isn't even worth 100$

Anyone can open it not security at all

I bought a OnePlus 13 recently about 2 months ago

I recently bought a OnePlus 15 5G (CPH2747), 6.7", 512GB, 16GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Elite, Android 16, unlocked GSM, and a OnePlus Pad 4 (12GB + 512GB, Sage Mist, WiFi, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) from eBay.

The global version of the OnePlus 15 does not work with Verizon, but it does work with T-Mobile. I currently have a North American OnePlus 12 that works with Verizon.

Is there any way to get the global OnePlus 15 to work with Verizon? I would really appreciate any advice on this.

Also, the OnePlus Pad 4 does not have the United States listed as a country option during setup. I am okay with that, but I just want to make sure there are no problems I should be aware of.

I paid around $1,470 plus about $50 in tariffs for the OnePlus 15 and around $800 for the OnePlus Pad 4, so I would really like to find a way to use the phone with Verizon if possible.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a OnePlus 12, 16gb, 512GB Emerald Green.. Previous, OP6, OP7T, OP9.. Each one worked well, great value..

Live in San Francisco, using T-Mobile. Use Nova Launcher.

Would have continued, but..

Love to share information, issues...

OP12 just as strong as when I bought it..

Where do we go in future.. Nothing?

Anyone getting the oppo update on Opens here in USA?

I was planning to get a 13s but after hours of doing my parents chores licking their boots etc and earning social credit my budget increased to around 60k. I was about to buy a OP13 but then learned it was out of stock offline and online both. Any suggestions or inside info whether they are going to restock it in India or will it return in Flipkart BBD?

I am thinking of switching from my iPhone 14 pro to one plus 15 but i am worry because i will buy the Chinese version flashed to rom so is any one done that can give me advise and also el camera is the same or the iphone 14 is better?
