Many are not convinced that the latest OnePlus 15 is better than the phone it replaces. And that\u2019s not the only recent case in the industry either.<\/p>\n<p>The OnePlus 15 can be had for \u00a3880 from Amazon UK for a 16\/512GB unit. The retailer lists it as on pre-order, which is probably a mistake \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneplus.com\/uk\/oneplus-15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">OnePlus UK<\/a> is already selling it. And we do recommend going for the 16\/512GB unit since it is only \u00a330 more than the 12\/256GB model. More RAM and double the storage for \u00a330 seem like a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/oneplus_15_5g-14206.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1763303588_942_oneplus-15.jpg\" alt=\"OnePlus 15\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, the question of OnePlus 15 versus the OnePlus 13 is a more complicated one. Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/oneplus_15-review-2898.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">our review<\/a> of the new model \u2013 the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is impressive and the 7,300mAh battery is outstanding. It is currently the top performer on <a href=\"battery-test-v2.php3?idPhone=14206#show\">our battery chart<\/a> with a score of 23:07h, easily outlasting its predecessor (which is no slouch at 15:28h). The smaller battery capacity allows the old model to charge faster, though. In 15 minutes it got to 55% compared to 44% and a full charge took 35 minutes instead of 41 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/oneplus_13-13477.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/oneplus-13.jpg\" alt=\"OnePlus 13\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>We may do a more detailed head-to-head comparison down the line, but we already tested out the cameras \u2013 here\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/oneplus_15_vs_oneplus_13_photo_camera_comparison-news-70280.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OnePlus 15 vs. OnePlus 13 shootout<\/a>. The result is&#8230; inconclusive. The 13 produced better images (especially with some tweaking), but we liked the out-of-the-box processing on the 15 better.<\/p>\n<p>This discussion isn\u2019t happening in a vacuum, however. While the \u00a3100 discount on the 512GB OnePlus 15 is nice (especially for a brand new phone), the OnePlus 13 is \u00a3190 cheaper for the same RAM and storage.<\/p>\n<p>People had high hopes for Google\u2019s transition to TSMC with the Tensor G5. However, the result was less than stellar \u2013 it\u2019s faster than the G4, sure, but not by all that much. And the Snapdragon 8 Elite and Dimensity 9400 are significantly more powerful.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/google_pixel_9_pro-13218.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/google-pixel-9-pro-.jpg\" alt=\"Google Pixel 10 Pro\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Google prioritizes user experience over benchmark numbers and the Pixels do feel smooth. But battery life is a big part of user experience and the Pixel 10 Pro only managed 12:06h Active use score in our test, down from the 13:11h result for the 9 Pro. And this is despite a slightly larger battery (4,870mAh vs. 4,700mAh). Charging speed is effectively equal on both phones, though we have to admit that having proper magnetic Qi2 charging on the 10 Pro is nice.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/google_pixel_10_pro_5g-13987.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/google-pixel-10-pro-.jpg\" alt=\"Google Pixel 9 Pro\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>One more thing we have to mention \u2013 the base 128GB models use UFS 3.1 storage. For that reason \u2013 and also because 128GB just isn\u2019t enough \u2013 we recommend getting at least 256GB (which uses UFS 4.0 chips). But do you go for the Pixel 9 Pro or the 10 Pro? We\u2019ll let you decide, but we can\u2019t help but nod in the direction of the \u00a3250 price difference between these two.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\">We may get a commission from qualifying sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newer is better \u2013 until it isn\u2019t.
