One plus 16

Do you think OnePlus 16 will be like OnePlus 11? They will enable WiFi 8 and Bluetooth 7 later as they figure out certifications. We already know the Snapdragon 6 Gen Pro supports WiFi 8 and Bluetooth 7, but nobody is talking about it. When OnePlus 11 was released, they shipped it with WiFi 6E, and later, through a firmware update, they enabled WiFi 7.

Oneplus 15 vs IPhone 17 pro max

I’m currently torn between getting the OnePlus 15 and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and I’m hoping to get some honest feedback from long-term OnePlus 15 users.

​I know the spec sheets inside and out, but I’m really interested in the day to day reality after the honeymoon phase is over. My main concerns are

​Long-term reliability, I know iPhones are famous for staying fast for 5+ years. For those who have been using the 15 for a while, does it still feel snappy, or have you noticed any significant degradation?

​Social Media/Camera, I know this is the classic Android vs. iOS debate, but how is the real world experience using the camera within apps like Instagram and Snapchat? Is the quality "fine" for daily use, or is it a major annoyance if you’re coming from an iPhone?

​The Android vs iPhone shift, If you switched from an iPhone to the OnePlus 15, do you find yourself missing anything specific, or do you have any regrets? Alternatively, are there things you’d miss about the OnePlus 15 if you switched back today?

​I love the idea of the faster charging and the freedom of the Android ecosystem, but I’m worried about the long-term software polish. If you were in my shoes, would you stick with the OnePlus 15, or would you jump to the 17 Pro Max?

Anyone else facing throttling while gaming?

I play codm on medium settings and 165 fps for my MP games but not sure why it's throttling. I saw people test it and it was fine but when i play it, the framedrops are crazy my temperature goes up to 41-42 degrees in MP.

I thought calling while gaming was the issue so i swapped to in game chat but it still happens. If it helps i do have bluetooth on because of my airpods and i also don't have things such as the hyper sensitive touch enabled. My refresh rate in the game booster thingy is standard and my settings is on balanced as well.

My phone is pretty new as well, only a week+ and codm is the only heavy game i play.

Appreciation post

I bought one plus 15.

Years ago I had an iphone 7, then I moved to a huawei p30 pro! When I had that huawei it was a shocker. Fast forward about 2 years ago I got a iphone 15 pro max.. after about a year I decided to switch to s25 ultra! Then 5 months in I switched to s26 ultra.. no hate on ultras but they didn't Wow me. The battery was okay at best, my s26 liked to get a bit hot sometimes, and the screen made me have small headaches! So I switched to a 17 pm (current)

Then one plus was on my radar! For years I've wanted to try one plus but it was kinda hard having it in our local market! Until yesterday where I managed to snag a one plus 15 512g version for about 600$.

I have not had a phone since the huawei that gave me that wow factor! And this one gave me a very strong wow factor! Oxygen OS is CRAZY. The phone is so much thinner and lighter compared to my 17 pm!

I still have my 17 pm and I'm rocking a two phone situation right now. I appreciate both iOS and Android. Each has their pros and cons. I am not sure what I would like to keep (maybe even both).

The only downside of this phone ( not the camera) is the social media experience!

In fact this is an android issue in general ! Blame the developers not the phone though!!

For example: reels on my iphone show in a full screen format.. on the one plus and or the Samsung's, they always show with black bars! Or the new photo comments on insta! My s26 and the one plus refuse to show the pictures in the reels! Meanwhile my friend who has an A55 has the comment thingy working fine! But instead he doesn't have the hold to speed up the video?

This is just one of the examples where I can never be a full android user without having an iOS phone for stuff like that!

Other than that, great phone! The fingerprint sensor is crazy fast! Even the face unlock! I like to mess with the settings a lot and oxygen OS is a fresh and snappy experience especially when coming from oneui!

OP15 forced update?

Hi guys, I just got my OP15 few days ago with oxygen 16.0.3 and I was wondering if I should update to 16.0.8. I saw here and there that people would report bigger battery drain with new version so I decided not to update. I even turned off installing updates from developer options. But today I suddenly got notification that oxygen 16.0.8 is installed and that I just need to reboot the device. So was this also happening to you guys? Can I somehow prevent from installing new update or I am just forced to do this

ridiculous battery life

Not sure if it's the new update or because I disabled the additional RAM (not sure why i'd need 28 gigs of ram), but my battery life improved significantly after I charged it to 100% yesterday. This is my usage over 23 hours, with video streaming and moderately draining games. 100% to 25% with 11 hours 30 minutes of screen on time would scale to about 15 hours 20minutes for it to drop to 0%

Where should I order for the phone (EU/UK MODEL)

I am impressed with the phone and want to buy it. However I don't know where to buy it because most of the models are found are Chinese that lack bands and the esim that I need. I can't find a op15 16/512 on the eBay as all of them are Chinese with global ram which is a shame. Amazon has high prices.

Should I trust trading Shenzhen? It's currents €807 but usually sits at 847 price.

Should I also wait for op16 release or do it as soon as possible

OnePlus 15 in real use

I took my OnePlus 15 smartphone and OnePlus Watch 3 on vacation with my family. It's the first time that I have seriously tested both devices since I normally work from home. You won't be surprised to learn that the battery life (on both devices) is a game changer. My journey to my holiday destination was a long day of travel involving a bus, a plane and a car. I left home at noon and arrived in my holiday home at 4am next morning. I used the phone extensively throughout the day (including sat nav). I arrived with 45% charge remaining -- and zero battery anxiety.

My family members have Pixel (10a), Samsung (S23 Ultra and S26) and iPhone (Pro 17). All of these devices were on and off the charger throughout the holiday (iPhone was best but still regularly on charge). I brought a powerbank, which wasn''t used. I charged around once every 1-2 days. A good battery is **really** important. It doesn't matter (much) most of the time when you're at home but it matters **a lot** in certain circumstances.

The camera took lovely photos. Bright and vibrant during the day but decent in low light (even in a cave with little light). Photos taken in the evening under street lights were surprisingly good. We used a shared album for our photos and the OnePlus, Samsung (S26) and iPhone (in that order) were noticeably better than the other devices.

The watch is a fantastic travel companion. Having Google Maps on your wrist is really useful in strange cities. It's tough and lasts for days on a single charge. The little USB C charging puck is very convenient.

If I lost both devices (OnePlus 15 and OPW3) today, I'd replace both with exactly the same products.

Change to notification view

After updating my phone, I noticed I cant swipe down anymore on notifications to enhance the view on them. Example, if there's multiple messages from different people, swiping down on the whatsapp notifications enlarges the view of all messages. Now when I swipe down, the status bar comes down instead and I have to click the arrow next to the app notification to enhance the view. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Should I buy OP15 (UK)

​

Long time oneplus user (had the original). Currently have a OP10 pro and was thinking about getting an OP15 but given all the rumours about them exiting the UK and their UK store having no stock. It's really putting me off

15 256 $799 vs 15r 512 $699

I ordered a 15r on prime day that ended up being canceled during shipping.

I noticed the 15 256 is only $100 more than the 15r 512 from the official store. (US)

This seems like a no brainer to spend extra for the 15?

Im upgrading from a 7t so I'm due.

What Happens to Converted OnePlus Devices After the ColorOS Transition?

With OxygenOS and Realme UI reportedly being phased out in favor of ColorOS across all devices, I have a question for the custom ROM experts here.

We all know that ColorOS generally doesn't allow bootloader unlocking. Let's assume OnePlus still allows bootloader unlocking even after switching to ColorOS.

For example, if I buy a OnePlus 15, convert it to OxygenOS, unlock the bootloader, and keep using it, I know it currently receives OTA updates.

My question is: once OnePlus fully transitions to ColorOS, will OTA updates still work on a bootloader-locked device, or will I have to manually flash every update?

I'd really appreciate it if someone with experience in bootloader unlocking and custom ROMs could clarify how this is expected to work.

I will get the op15 prolly white 16/512 UK, and I am a modding enthusiast, if there's anyone who rooted their phone,

What do you lose out on rooting?

How complex or risky is the rooting progress?

OnePlus Europe Exit Scam: How they stole charger and gave me a €0 compensation

Be warned if you are dealing with OnePlus warranty claims in Europe (maybe US too) right now.

They are using a ridiculous loophole to close out tickets with zero actual payout.

Four months ago, I sent my Supervooc charger in for a warranty repair. At first, they claimed that the charger has never arrived despite the fact that they provided their own label and it was signed delivered.

After endless escalations, they admitted they got it and will replace but did not ship it for a month.

After following up again to see why is it not shipping, they said it is EOL discontinued and they have no stock left (although charger was still listed for sale on their site 😂.

To resolve it, they offered to give me a €100 OnePlus store voucher.

Sounds fine, right? Here is the trap:

  1. OnePlus is clearing out stock and winding down European operations. 95% of the store is completely sold out - what's left are pretty much OnePlus Tab Go2, Nord 5 and Nord CE5. - I was going to buy a tablet with a discount.
  2. The catch - the remaining 5% of items left are discounted and marked as "On Sale."
  3. Their system blocks you from using vouchers on "Sale items."

The math is simple: The store is empty except for liquidation items, and the voucher cannot be used on those items. They literally took my 120W charger, kept it, and handed me a digital code with a functional value of €0.

When I pointed out this logical loop, support stonewalled me and said it’s their "final decision."

I am officially filing a case with the European Consumer Centre (ECC) for deceptive trade practices and breach of warranty terms.

IF YOU HAVE A WARRANTY CLAIM WITH ONEPLUS IN EUROPE OR US RIGHT NOW AND THEY OFFER YOU A VOUCHER INSTEAD OF REPAIR/REPLACEMENT, DO NOT ACCEPT IT.

IT LITERALLY CANNOT BE USED ON ANY OF THE ITEMS AND EXPIRES IN A MONTH.

It’s a trick to close your file before they exit.

---------------------------------

TLDR:

  • The Issue: OnePlus is reportedly winding down European operations, leaving their online store nearly empty except for discounted liquidation items.
  • The Loophole: Instead of repairing or replacing broken hardware (like chargers under warranty), OnePlus support offers store vouchers (e.g., €100).
  • The Catch: OnePlus system rules block vouchers from being used on "Sale/Discounted" items. Because 95% of the store is sold out and the remaining 5% is on sale, the vouchers have a functional value of €0 and expire in a month.
  • The Advice: Do not accept store vouchers from OnePlus right now. Demand a direct replacement or a cash refund, as the vouchers are being used as a trick to close tickets before they exit the market.
