Reviews for the OnePlus 15

87.1% OnePlus 15 smartphone review – Gaming at 165fps, despite being slower than the predecessor | Notebookcheck
The OnePlus 15 is very stylish looking and somewhat cheaper than other high-end smartphones. Being able to deliver up to 165fps in games comes at the cost of a slightly scaled-down camera system, and also some performance issues we encountered in our tests.
