On days with light use, I have 70 percent left by bedtime. When I spent more time on the phone, using it for music streaming, navigation, and Instagram Reels-ing, I often ended with around 60 or 50 percent. I’d leave it on my nightstand without bothering to plug it in, a refreshing change of pace. Over the course of two days, I hit an amazing 10 and a half hours of screen-on time.<\/p>\n

This might be the best battery life on a flagship smartphone today in the US, especially when you pair it with the incredibly fast recharge times. OnePlus remains one of the only companies to include a charger in the box<\/a>\u2014mostly because it’s the only way to take advantage of its SuperVooc fast-charging technology. I was able to ramp from 15 to 80 percent in 30 minutes (50 percent in 15 minutes). It’s hard to worry about a dead phone if you don’t mind keeping the bulky charger on your person (is a folding prong too much of an ask?).<\/p>\n

But there’s always a compromise somewhere. If you’re a fan of wireless charging<\/a> and are especially interested in Qi2 smartphones<\/a> that use magnets<\/a> (like Apple’s MagSafe<\/a>) for more convenient and faster charging, you’ll be disappointed here. The OnePlus 15 supports wireless charging, but only the standard Qi technology. OnePlus is selling magnetic cases as a salve, but unlike Samsung’s current crop of top-end phones, this doesn’t even turn it into a Qi2 Ready phone<\/a>. It will only charge at slow Qi wireless charging speeds. (You can buy OnePlus’ proprietary wireless charger<\/a> to fast-charge, but that’s a separate purchase, and that wireless charger will only recharge select OnePlus devices quickly.)<\/p>\n

The beefy battery and super-fast wired charging may outshine the lackluster wireless charging, but now it’s time to talk about the second most impressive feat of the OnePlus 15: performance.<\/p>\n

This is the first smartphone in the US to employ Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a processor we’ll see in most high-end Android phones in 2026. The benchmark numbers are excellent. In a Geekbench 6 test, the OnePlus 15 is officially the first phone to pass 10,000 in multi-core CPU performance, even besting the iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/a>. However, the iPhone still had a slight leg up in single-core performance (it’s also generally more efficient).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On days with light use, I have 70 percent left by bedtime.
