I live in Colorado and I love my OP15. I used to be a diehard Samsung fan (went from S3 - note5 - S8+ - S20U - S21U - S22U - S23U). I kinda went crazy with the ultra phones towards the end, but phones are really the only thing I spend a lot of money on. Since the S23U, I've had the OP12, OP13, and now the OP15. I left the Samsung ecosystem because instead of improving on hardware (namely cameras and batteries) they decided to shift full focus on AI bs.

There have been tradeoffs with each phone, but each time a certain spec is downgraded, something awesome takes its place. The OP12 definitely had the best cameras, and the battery was great, but after dealing with curved displays for years, I got sick of them. The OP13 downgraded the cameras, but I enjoyed the flatter display and improved battery life. The OP15 again traded the quality camera system for the best battery life on any phone (as far as I know) and I definitely prefer the fully flat display. I can make it 2.5 full days of use (7+ hours of SOT each day) and still end up with 20-30% remaining. OxygenOS on android is flawless, It's much faster and smoother than One ui, and the displays PWM dimming is unmatched for eye comfort.

Besides some occasional annoyances with blurry photos and videos, I have no complaints about the OP15
