* BEST Gaming phone
EDITORIAL: Asusâ ROG (Republic of Gamers) phones keep getting better. The 2024 edition refined the already excellent 2023 version and added an improved AeroActive Cooler X Pro. This is an excellent phone with top performance, NTFS storage support, great battery endurance, very bright HDR10 Screen, IP68 protection, gaming triggers, cool mini-LED (85 dot) matrix on the back panel and even decent (if not great) photos from itâs 50MP OIS PDAF main + 13MP ultrawide + 5MP macro lenses.
PROs
top tier SD 8 Elite (UFS4.0) performance, outstanding 2-day battery endurance from the 5800mAh Lithium battery with 45min 65W charging (15W wireless), eye-searing 1900+nits bright 185Hz LTPO AMOLED screen, USB-C ports with Display Port 1.4 and OTG, 3.5mm headphone jack
CONs
227gr big, lack of expandable storage, very short OS update support, no desktop replacement feature (updated Apr 28, 2025)
(Oppo) OnePlus 15R
77mm (3.03in) · Dec 22, 2025 · Rank #140

EDITORIAL: Featuring new and confusingly named Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip and a massive 7400mAh battery, 15R delivers good performance, excellent endurance, very good screen and fluid software that includes OnePlus’ Mind Space – a button driven AI utility. Cameras leave a lot to be desired – there is no zoom lens and the ultrawide is just 8MP with no autofocus. AnTuTu tests put it on par with 2 year old flagship chips.
PROs
great build with OnePlus 15 design, reliable SD 8 Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 performance, 7400mAh Si-C battery with >42hr endurance and sub-60min 80W (no wireless) charging, >2200nits very bright 450ppi non-LTPO screen with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision tech, IP69 protection, reliable pics from a 50MP 23mm main camera, up to 4 years of very stable OxygenOS, dedicated AI button with Mind Space area assisted by Google Gemini
CONs
poor performance from a 8MP 16mm ultra wide (no AF), just okay 32MP 25mm selfie, average video recording, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality, slow old-tech USBC 2.0 port
