* TOP MidrangerMidrange
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

Midrange
EDITORIAL: Vivo V50 comes 6 months after the V40 and it brings the same Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip (same as V30 too), a bigger (6000mAh) Si-C battery and a selfie that is now also Zeiss enhanced. This is a great example of Vivoâs strategy of focusing on battery-screen-photography and is another midranger that will best many flagship phones with itâs very thin body and a lovely, solid feel (despite having a plastic frame), top battery life and excellent photo and video performance. This time, screen resolution is dropped to 1080 and the body is even wider than on V40. Could Vivo be saving the compact size for itâs future flagships?
PROs
thin and very comfortable to use build, Outstanding 2-day 6000mAh Si-C battery endurance with sub-60min 90W charging, good 1080p almost 1300nits 3840PWM AMOLED screen, IP69 element protection, 50MP OIS PDAF main + 50MP AF ultrawide + 50MP AF selfie â all with Zeiss optics for excellent portraits, great photographs and videos
CONs
wide 76.7mm body, a 1080 screen (albeit with HDR10+), no memory expansion, just 3 years of OS updates and no desktop replacement software (updated Jun 9, 2025)
