The OnePlus 15 launched late last year, and I've been testing it for several months now. As an Android flagship, it naturally draws comparisons with other flagships available in the United States. 

OnePlus has been particularly proud of its cameras in recent years -- and rightfully so. The OnePlus 13, in particular, was a great shooter, and one might hope that this DNA continues for the OnePlus 15. But there are some differences from a year ago.
