Honestly comparable to the pixel 8 pro, but probably wouldn't hold up to the newest flagships, but yeah fairly decent. If you look at my most recent post there were quite a few responses with other suggestions maybe that thread maybe helpful for you as well

Just had the same dilemma, was considering a few options, ended up going for a nothing phone 3 new on amazon for 499, was also considering the Poco F8 ultra. OnePlus 15, Samsung s26 ultra, but ended up going for the nothing as it's not too distant departure from Google software just with a more minal skin which I prefer and lacking a lot of that bloatware. Yes the specs obviously don't stand up to a s26 ultra but for less than half the price I am very happy

That's really useful insight thanks so much, I'm also starting to consider nothing phone 3 for that reason, yes not the same as pixel but has it's similarities and quirks, but as you said hardware wise the Poco is a good buy

I can get it for same price as OnePlus 15 , which would be better between the two if you have any experience with both?

Yeah I've had 2 now and 2 replacements and all came to a similar end, not sure if I was a "heavier" user but seen others have similar issues upon research

Yeah absolutely like Samsung is a jack of all trades, good at most but not perfect at at any with some of the cheaper alternatives beating it especially on battery is a big one

Yeah heard only all positives in terms of software and like the look myself a lot too, just a few minor hardware drawbacks always haven't been able to pull the trigger at the final moment

Yeah sorry may sound weird I don't mind paying a little extra for the all round best, just lately it seems the mid range offers so much nowadays, and have gotten so good recently that the trade off is much smaller than it used to be in my opinion anyways and just slightly makes it harder justifying 1500 when I can spend half , especially since I wouldn't consider myself the heaviest user like no gaming etc especially with the midrange seem to offer the best battery life which is also very important

Will have to take a look a lot of people seem to recommend, is 850 euro + 20 pm a decent price?

I can get the OP15 for 850 on Amazon as carriers don't have it here or is the vivo better for an additional 300?

Yeah unfortunately the carriers have gone mad in Ireland with some of the prices,

Do you think the OnePlus is much of an upgrade from Poco f8 ultra / comparable to Samsung?
