The OnePlus 15R is a fantastic addition to the long line of recent mid-range phones that really push the boat out and make flagships feel overpriced by comparison. Its 7,400mAh battery can easily get you through two days of use, and the winning combination of a 165Hz refresh rate and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset makes this a great phone for all daily tasks. The lack of a telephoto lens is sure to irk some, but the 15R justifies the sacrifice with its phenomenal endurance.

Pros

  • +Top-of-the-line battery life
  • +Gorgeous build, especially in green
  • +Great everyday performance

Cons

  • -The telephoto camera is missed
  • -Big price increase in the US
  • -A longer update cycle wouldn’t have gone amiss
