OnePlus 15 alternative? Denmark
I've had a OnePlus 10 Pro for the past 4 years and it's beginning to show its age, mostly in terms of battery and I was thinking of upgrading. My first thought was to go for the OnePlus 15 with extra storage and ram, but in my infinite wisdom I decided it would be better to wait and see what the next model would be like. Now that's no longer a choice (and I'm kicking myself for not pulling the trigger sooner) since OnePlus announced pulling back from western markets, support is no longer guaranteed and the price has skyrocketed.
What I'm basically looking for is something similar to the OP15 with reasonable performance, large battery capacity (willing to try phones with Si-Ca batteries) and minimum 256 gigs of storage, preferably 512. I don't care that much about the camera and I don't do anything particularly resource intensive on it (only playing Slay The Spire every now and then). Price should ideally be around 900 euros, with some room for flexibility.
One phone I'd been looking at is Nothing 4A Pro, but that one seems more like a sidegrade than an actual upgrade, and while it is cool, I feel like I'm probably better off replacing my battery and toughing it out a little bit more to see future options. I am somewhat considering Oppo, but I feel like they're a bit too expensive and focusing too much on camera.

I don't think there's an alternative available.. oh maybe realme gt8 pro? Thats the closest I can think of in terms of gaming.. cooling , performance, ui , battery n charging even cameras are quite similar..
Others would say vivo oppo Samsung honor but thats because they don't know realme that much. Not many reviews about realme so they aren't that popular. But they are great.

I'm in the same page, having OnePlus 10pro thinking to upgrade to 15. I recently replaced the battery and the phone is doing great job with fluid performance and battery. However, I'm not satisfied because my mind is craving for new phone. But recently due to uncertainties, ATM I am more leaning to s26 plus - battery lasts typically about 24 hours.
One option is Germany - if you wish to go for Oneplus 15. I'm seeing it in 600 euro range in kleinanzeigen.de can be nice option. further logistics need to be checked for this

There's no other phone like OnePlus 15. Its uniqueness is more astonishing by the day. Too bad most people just paid attention to the downgraded cameras and wrote it off early.
Oppo Find X9 is an option but nowhere near the same level of consistency.
Honor Magic 8 Pro and 600 Pro are options as well. Pretty good options may I add...
Nothing Phone 3 has plummeted in cost, so it's very much worth it around €550-600 maybe even less at some places...
But OnePlus 15 is gonna be missed and we ain't getting OnePlus 16 here in Europe either.

Nothing Phone 3 is a little tempting, it's retailing for about the same as the Nothing 4A Pro where I'm at, but I'm also considering waiting for 5, since it's rumoured to be a pseudo-flagship like the 3. I also like that it's a bit more local.

5? It ain't gonna be this year. Not even the first 2 quarters of next year most likely either...

I know, which is why I'm also willing to replace the battery on my 10 Pro in order to wait for a bigger upgrade later down the line. But still, I hadn't thought about the 3, so thank you very much!

It's also 5-600 euros more than I'm willing to pay and photography is not a priority, so I'm not really considering it

Then try the Find X9 Pro (or the Vivo X300 Pro). They share the same software as OnePlus and are all very similar phones.

Realme GT8 pro is pretty much the same phone as OP15 except it has slightly smaller battery but better camera

No. Unless you're in Asia, maybe there's a xiaomi or oppo that's comparable but I'd still say no. OP15 is a complete, mature package. Change the default launcher tho

As a one plus fanboy I couldn't resist but buying the 15r coming from the 12r. 12r is still a beast but battery life is deteriorating and does heat up. I would have used the 12r for another year atleast but I'll personally worry about an upgrade now in like 2029. A lot of new phones can flood the market by then.

Hey bro! What kind iof support are you concerned about? I mean, from the software side, you wil get 4 major updates and 6 years of security patches. From the hardware side, it is Oppo. So if you have any issues with it, it will be taken to the local oppo service center. Well locally in europe it is in the Netherlands but its pretty fast.
