Read our OnePlus 15 review a complete review of the camera, performance, battery, and display. After 14 days of use, find out if this flagship phone is worth the price.
The OnePlus 15 has been generating buzz since its launch in India. I used this phone in real life for 14 days straight and now I have a full review for you.
This time, the company skipped the OnePlus 14 and launched the OnePlus 15 directly, as the number 14 is considered quite superstitious in China.

OnePlus 15 Review: Price & Offers
The OnePlus 15 is available in two storage variants in India:
- 12GB + 256GB – ₹72,999
- 16GB + 512GB – ₹79,999
Bank and exchange offers can add up to an additional discount of around ₹4,000.
OnePlus 15 Review: Completely Revamped Design
In terms of design, the OnePlus 15 looks completely different from the OnePlus 13.
- Crystal glass panel on the rear
- Thin bezels
- Slight bulge in the raised camera module on the back
- Frame that looks like stone but it’s actually an Aerospace-Grade Nano Ceramic Alloy Frame
- Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front
The phone feels premium and solid in the hand. Fingerprints are almost non-existent.
OnePlus 15 Review: Display
- 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display
- 1.5K resolution
- 165Hz adaptive refresh rate
- 3000 nits peak brightness
- Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
From viewing content to gaming, the display is extremely smooth and vibrant.
Yes, many users may miss the 2K display like the OnePlus 13, but in practice, even 1.5K performs well.
OnePlus 15 Review: Performance
The OnePlus 15 is the first smartphone in India to come with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
In two weeks of use
- Multitasking is super smooth.
- No heating issues even when playing games like BGMI and COD Mobile for extended periods.
- The new Glacier Dual Layer Cooling System keeps temperatures under control.
In both benchmarks and real-life use, this phone was seen outperforming the iPhone 17 at many moments.
OnePlus 15 Review: Camera Test
This time, OnePlus has ended its partnership with Hasselblad, meaning the ‘H’ branding is no longer available.
Still, the camera setup is strong: 50MP + 50MP + 50MP triple cameras, a new Periscope lens – 3.5X Optical Zoom, 8K recording with Dolby Vision, and a 32MP front camera with 4K recording.
Results: Daylight photos are sharp and vibrant, dynamic range is good, noise is very low in night photography, edge clarity is strong in ultra-wide, video quality is quite cinematic
Yes, 5X optical zoom would have been better, but 3.5X also delivers well.
OnePlus 15 Review: Battery & Charging
- 7300mAh battery (Silicon-Carbon cell)
- 120W fast charging – 0 to 50% in just 15 minutes
- 50W wireless charging
- Supports both reverse and bypass charging
In normal use, the phone easily provides 2 days of backup. Being able to watch videos for 4-5 hours after charging for 5-6 minutes is a big deal in this category.
OnePlus 15 Review: AI Features
The OnePlus 15 comes with a number of useful AI features like AI Search, AI Summary, AI Note Maker, AI Gallery Cleanup, Voice AI, AI Gaming Boost, AI Scheduler & Routine Assistant. While some are great, some still feel half-baked.
OnePlus 15 Review: Should you buy it?
After two weeks of use, I’m clear that this phone justifies its price in every aspect design, camera, battery, and performance. It might not be right to call it a flagship killer, but at a price of ₹72,999–₹79,999, it challenges many 1-lakh phones.
