OnePlus 15 vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: which should you buy
A report from Zdnet compares the OnePlus 15 and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and outlines reasons to choose each phone depending on your priorities. The OnePlus 15 stands out for durability and battery life: it is rated IP68 and IP69, includes a more water-resistant display that can be used with water droplets, and offers a Sand Storm variant with an MAO-treated middle frame.
It also packs a 7,300mAh battery with a higher silicon content anode, faster 80W wired charging, and in the reviewer’s experience delivered long screen-on times while costing $899 for the base model. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is highlighted for its display and ecosystem features.
Samsung improved the anti-reflective coating and color accuracy for better legibility indoors and in sunlight, it supports the S Pen for jotting notes, and it comes with longer software support—seven years of OS and security updates compared with OnePlus’s four years of OS and five years of security updates.
