Buying call

Buy the 15R if battery life matters most in a $700 phone: it launched at $699.99 for 256GB, and its 7,400mAh cell lasted 22 h 45 min in one PCMark test, 21 h 36 min in another active-use test and 38 hours in a video rundown. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and a 165Hz screen. Skip it if you want wireless charging or a zoom lens, because it has neither, and US buyers get a 55W charger in the box since the 80W unit isn't sold in North America. OnePlus also dropped the LTPO panel and raised the price $100 over the 13R.
