The OnePlus 15R offers strong performance with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor and features a beautiful 165Hz AMOLED display and a large 7400 mAh battery with fast charging. Its biometrics are excellent, and extra features like the IR blaster are appreciated.
However, the reviewer deems the phone largely overpriced at $700 due to several significant omissions. Key weaknesses include the absence of a telephoto camera and wireless charging, along with poor zoom capabilities.
The always-on display also fails to remain active, which, combined with the other drawbacks, leads the reviewer to call it "dead on arrival." He suggests it would only be a worthwhile purchase if priced around $500.
“on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this phone at 700 bucks. Nah, we can't. 700 bucks, it's a no for me, dog.”
“DOA dead on arrival unless you get it for 500 bucks.”
