upcoming OnePlus device, rumored to have a massive 7800mAh battery (per Wccftech).
and it would absolutely smoke the 5,000 and 4,685mAH batteries in the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Instead, Apple and Samsung seem to be prioritizing thinness at all costs, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear beyond aesthetics and bragging rights. It’s been years since I’ve heard anyone complain about how thick a phone is, if not a decade or more. Complaints have trended in the opposite direction, I’d say – without a case, some phones can be so thin and slippery that they’re hard to grip securely. Even my wife’s OnePlus 9 5G has that issue. A few foldables, like Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold , are so thin when open that they feel like they might bend or snap.
In my opinion, which is based on the OPX, OP6T, OP9, OP10 and many many devices I’ve used from other manufacturers, Oneplus does hardware very well. My latest phone was a Pixel 8 Pro so I could run Graphene and while I do not regret my choice, I do miss the Oneplus hardware, and most of all the 3-position slider switch. My OP6T is old as dirt now, but still exudes a higher quality feel than my Pixel when you hold it. To the point of the discussion: One Plus has amazing battery life and hardware versus competitors at the same price point.
