Reviews & Performance
This config shines for heavy use—reviews highlight seamless multitasking (16GB RAM handles dozens of apps/AI features without reloads), buttery 165Hz gaming (always-on high FPS), insane battery life (top in class), fast charging, and solid cameras (strong zoom/detail). It’s a “no-compromise” flagship for endurance and power. Drawbacks: Larger/heavier than compact phones, cameras excellent but processing differs from prior Hasselblad era (some prefer old tuning), shorter updates than Pixel/Samsung. In January 2026, it remains a beast with updates.
Quick Comparison to OnePlus 15 12GB/512GB
The 16GB/1TB steps up significantly: double the RAM (better for heavy multitasking/AI/future-proofing), double storage (massive for 4K videos/games/apps), slightly faster RAM variant (LPDDR5X Ultra+). Both share the same processor, battery, display, and cameras—but this config excels if you hoard media, run intensive apps, or want max longevity without upgrades soon.
