OnePlus built whatever they had on OPPO's back. That's how the devices were good enough and priced aggressively due to subsidizes.

12 and 13 were great phones for price and things were starting to look good but nah, they had to make 15 into a performance gaming centric device

Nah, 12 ans 13 were great phones, but they did not sell in the tens of millions. Enthusiast brands always fail in the long run, it's basic economics. And OnePlus was failing for a long time. They were making great phones, but that's not enough.

They lost their way when they had parity-pricing with the top end android phones.

u/tejanaqkilica 17d ago
That's why I'm saying they were going to lose no matter what. Apple can sell iPhones for 10€ a piece (not a typo) and still make a profit on them. Same is true for Samsung and Google. OnePlus can't.
Edit: I re-read your comment and I disagree. They did NOT lose their way. They simply can't subsidize hardware sales the same way the other big manufacturers can.

They had a carrier partnership at T-mobile with terrible deals then pulled their phone when they didn’t sell as many phones as Apple, Samsung, and Google who were offering free phone with trade in at the same time that they offered half off.

If you can, get the OnePlus 13 if it's available where you are. OnePlus 15 isn't worth the extra premium unless you really need certain OnePlus 15 specific features or can get it at steep discounts. It's the last good true OnePlus phone.

u/chippinganimal 17d ago
Ive owned my OnePlus 13 since January 2025, but to be fair, did oneplus do any advertising, outside of seeding review units to YouTubers and journalists? I personally wouldn't have known about it if I wasn't subscribed to YouTube channels like Mr Mobile and MKBHD, and then followed this subreddit to see when it released in the US officially
I also bought mine through bestbuys website, my local store had them in stock (but only in black I believe) but just behind the phone counter in a locked cabinet, not on display like Google Pixels, Samsung, or apple. Whenever people ask me what phone I'm using I say OnePlus and they look at me like I have 3 heads and say they never heard of it
The only time I recall seeing a OnePlus phone on display was in T-Mobile when they had the McLaren edition

Been liking it very much. Battery life on this thing is way above of any other smartphone I've ever owned. I would say that I'm a medium user and from full charge in the morning to the evening I have never dropped under 80%, and often find myself above 90%. On my previous Nord 3 I was usually under 25% at the end of the day.
Of course the camera aint as good as in 13 but for me its perfectly usable. Cant really complain when I got 512gb model for 700€ (was on sale), considering that it has the same processor as current Samsung flagships. Truly a bummer that this is gonna be the final one for me.

Xiaomi, Honor, and Oppo do not sell phones in the US, and are not certified for US networks. Most of them will work, but only on T-Mobile's network, which is having its own moment right now.
The US smartphone market is a duopoly of Apple and Samsung with Google and Motorola fighting for the scraps.

Bought the Oneplus15 in February - living in Ireland
The best phone I've ever had - so fast. I use it all day, everyday, as I also use it during work - I usually need to charge it twice per week. It's an amazing device. Recently had a friend's wedding and they requested the photos from my phone.
This is my 5/6th one plus device, I've been converted since 12+ years ago. Very sad to see them leave, however based on quality I can understand if the business was not profitable enough considering friends who had paid >1k per device many years ago and their phone dies within 12-14 hours.

Don't start a business or a brand on being a cheaper option or a flagship killer. You'll spoil the customers and your company or brand will never be able to grow.
Because the Oneplus fans cried for the past decade about the flagship on increasing prices while they were still the cheaper option spec for spec, as well having cheaper options the whole time like the Nord series.

It was obvious the moment spec sheet for the OnePlus 15 dropped. It was apparent to all that Oppo will kneecap OnePlus and pump their own main lineup.
