The OnePlus 15 is finally official and as always, it faces one big question: can it finally take on the iPhone?<\/p>\n

This year, OnePlus trades its familiar circular camera style for a new rectangular camera island on the back. It’s a cleaner and a more conventional look, maybe even a bit too conventional. Ultimately, though, what really matters is image quality.<\/p>\n

And there’s a big change there too. The OnePlus 15 drops its long-time Hasselblad partnership, yet surprisingly… that might not be a bad thing.<\/p>\n

So how does it stack up against the iPhone 17 Pro Max, the gold standard for mobile photography?<\/p>\n

The OnePlus 15 still uses a 50-megapixel main camera with a slightly smaller sensor than the iPhone’s, but it compensates with a larger 3.5X telephoto sensor and a very capable ultra-wide setup. On paper, it looks like a close fight, but let’s see if OnePlus can match Apple’s image processing in the real world.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s 2024 flagship is still nothing to snark at. It has all the same software features, about the same cameras, save for super-pro modes like ProRes RAW Log 2 recording. If that didn\u2019t mean anything to you, you\u2019ll feel perfectly fine with an iPhone 16 Pro in your hands. And you save about $200 on what is essentially an excellent device that\u2019s still hard to beat. Item prices vary by condition, color, and availability.<\/p>\n
