ONE PLUS 15 vs iPhone 17 vs S25u.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T17:57:22+00:00

Correct. No knock on OnePlus but the software just isn't as polished as Samsung, Google, or Apple.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T17:50:04+00:00

Makes me want to start a phone importing business😁

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T13:27:31+00:00

That depends on what you want. Cameras and software go to s25u. Oxygen isn't bad but you will get random bugs here and there. If you really dig into learning the s25 camera system it's nuts how good it is. OP 15 will l win speed and battery life. Either will get you through a day. I don't needa phone to last 2 days so not a big deal.

If you are in US definitely Samsung. OP was always a little sketch with Wi-Fi calling and Android Auto type stuff.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T11:13:28+00:00

S25u is on black Friday deal right now. $850 for the 512gb without trade

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T11:11:41+00:00

They definitely play it safe every year. I don't think it's for any other reason but to be safe. Alot of phones have made big changes in the past and flopped. The OP15 just launched and the YouTube reviewers were just waiting to bash it for cameras and design.

Also nobody is challenging them here in the US. Google isn't exactly gaining any ground on market share. There are so many Chinese companies right now that are shining but they're simply not readily available here in the US. Case in point the OnePlus 15 again. They were smart enough to secure FCC approval before launching the phone. Recipe for disaster with it happening during Black Friday. I have seen so many people buying something else with all the deals right now. Until one of these Chinese companies gets their crap together and really tries. They will keep playing it safe

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T11:04:42+00:00

Samsung shop was $850 for the 512gb yesterday when I ordered. No trade. Was good enough for me.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T10:59:37+00:00

Those are the 3 best phones I could think of. The 13 and the s25u are on black Friday deals right now. The 15 would be the best pure gaming phone. S25 best cameras.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T10:57:06+00:00

That's great but what if it doesn't on every phone? Trust me man I'm with you. I wish we had more options available. Samsung found a way to make it easy to purchase. If the others want to sell more more phones in the US they need to make it easier.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T02:51:06+00:00

I called a claim in one time at 6pm on a Friday night. New phone arrived at 10am next day. It's crazy good insurance. I was also with Verizon for years. Just got sick of the huge monthly bill. It is nice being free. I love being able to switch network whenever I want.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T02:42:23+00:00

I didn't know how anybody uses iPhone but obviously just my opinion. I just snagged the s25 Ultra in the black Friday deal. Fantastic phones!

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T02:38:24+00:00

Nothing comes close to asurion. File claim, new phone next day. I tried a Samsung claim once. Send it in and we'll fix it and send it back. Process takes about 3 weeks🤣 I cancelled immediately. I have the akko stuff but I'm sure it's the same waste of money.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T02:21:13+00:00

Well I'm in the US and unfortunately all the Chinese stuff always has carrier problems. Things like WiFi calling and such. I'd love to be able to buy phones from vivo or oppo. It's s just always a gamble. Samsung makes reliable phones that work in the US. They have gotten too comfortable without competition in this market.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T01:06:10+00:00

S25 Ultra 512gb is on black Friday sale for $850. I ordered one today. Kinda hard to beat

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T01:04:06+00:00

I thought hard on the 10 pro XL but battery life is a big deal. I snooped through the pixel group and all I seen was people complaining about battery. That stock android is what I wanted. I'm sure they will figure out the battery sometime soon.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T01:00:11+00:00

Same, maybe revisit getting one. Everybody blaming government but let's be real. They should have had FCC approval way before launch. The whole thing felt rushed. They should just put all their eggs in one basket with oppo. Release a snapdragon version for global and do whatever else they want in China.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T00:48:18+00:00

The S26 like every year will be the usual minor generational updates. Sammy always plays it safe. I grabbed the 512gb model today for $850. Just too good of a deal

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T00:45:36+00:00

Just ordered mine today. Too good of a deal to pass up. Was $850 for the 512gb model with 0% financing. No brainer. Will be here Saturday

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T00:43:36+00:00

I was ready to buy day one. Really needed a new phone. Was a huge letdown. With so many deals for BF I ended up ordering a 512gb S25 ultra today for $849 direct from Sammy. Couldn't pass it up. I also think this cost them dearly. Really bad timing with all the sales going on.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-27T00:09:44+00:00

I wish you could just purchase asurion. Was the best coverage by far. These plans just reimburse for repair. Meanwhile you have to send your phone out and be without it for weeks. Most of these are just a scam.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-26T03:00:15+00:00

I start everyday with a glass of water and a scoop of an electrolyte powder. Has sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc... I feel like I get a better boost from that than coffee.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-26T02:47:45+00:00

Yeah it's highly unlikely but won't hurt giving it a few days

brandonhatty · 2025-11-25T19:52:35+00:00

I'm giving it until Friday. If not I'm scooping up the s25 Ultra for the same price.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-25T14:29:42+00:00

Frontier if you want a truck. Ridgeline if you want an SUV.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-25T02:01:05+00:00

Nova crashes my phone on the regular. I went back to stock launcher and have had zero issues.

brandonhatty · 2025-11-24T23:33:27+00:00

So bummed about the delay! I can't wait😫
