In the fiercely competitive flagship smartphone race of 2025, the OnePlus 15 leaves Apple’s latest and best iPhone looking painfully slow in one crucial area: charging. Early reviews and independent tests are crowning the OnePlus 15 as the new battery and charging champion.
According to a charging test conducted by TechDroider, the OnePlus 15 rockets from 0% to 100% in just 41 minutes when using its included 120 W SuperVOOC charger. The iPhone 17 Pro Max, even with its upgraded 40 W wired fast charging, needs a sluggish 1 hour and 24 minutes to reach full capacity. That makes the OnePlus 15 more than twice as fast, despite carrying a gigantic 7,300 mAh battery – a whopping 51% larger than the one inside Apple’s top-tier device.
And it’s not only about charging speed. The OnePlus 15 has outperformed the top-tier iPhone in multiple battery drain tests as well. So OnePlus 15 users will not only enjoy significantly lower downtime, but will also need to charge less frequently. And the icing on the cake is the in-hand experience: the OnePlus flagship is 22 grams lighter (211g vs. 233g) and slightly slimmer than the iPhone.
Of course, the in-hand feel, battery life, charging speeds, and durability are still only part of the picture — the cameras are substandard for a 2025 flagship, and anyone tied to Apple’s ecosystem may still prefer iOS. But for anyone looking for a blend of raw performance, design, and durability, the OnePlus 15 is certainly more appealing than even the latest and best iPhone.
OnePlus 15 owners can plug in, sip their coffee, and be back at 100% before the iPhone 17 Pro Max will hit the halfway mark.
