In 2014, OnePlus launched a phone that felt impossible. Top tier specs, clean Android, and a $299 price tag. It was not just a good deal, it was a statement. OnePlus positioned itself as the anti Apple, a brand for people who cared about performance, software, and value over logos and hype. The OnePlus One delivered nearly everything a premium phone offered at half the price, and fans showed up fast. Forums, YouTube reviews, and word of mouth turned it into a cult brand almost overnight. For a few years, the formula worked. Each new release pushed specs forward while keeping prices reasonable. OxygenOS stayed fast and simple, and OnePlus built a reputation for listening to its community. But slowly, things started to change. Prices climbed into full flagship territory. The product lineup became confusing. Leadership shifted, and OnePlus was pulled closer into Oppo and the larger BBK ecosystem. Software updates began to feel heavier. Bugs became more common. The clean identity that once defined the brand started to blur. Then came the real breaking point in India, their most important market. Hardware issues, retailer frustration, and rising competition caused OnePlus to lose ground fast. This video breaks down how OnePlus went from a cult favorite to a brand stuck in the middle, and why losing that middle ground is often fatal.

Yeah, no longer flagship killer.

i know using 2 android phones can share the same WA account, not sure if 1 Android and 1 iOS can or not. on the 2nd phone you need to set it up as a Linked Device.

OnePlus official store for sure for 2 year warranty support
Juz wondering if it's worth the price difference...

I'm using OP12 from the same seller, they are very prompt in response. My aim is to get a phone with big display n good cam, below my shortlist but many on China rom. Wonder why the screen size shrink to 6.78" for the OP15. It's 6.82" on the OP13.

- iQoo 15, China rom
- Poco F8 Ultra, China rom
- OP15, Global rom

>$1k+
- XM 15 Ultra
- Vivo X200 Pro
- Oppo X9 Pro
