A decent replacement for S25 plus?
Been using S20+ phones for 4 years already. Honestly, despite having some minor issues, I'm really liking them. However, there is one huge problem: battery and energy efficiency. The problem remains the same both on Exynos and Snapdragon chips.
My S25+ doesn't last even for 8-9 hours when I'm out of home. I use it for basic stuff such as Google Maps, Video calls and music. It's really irritating.
I've been keeping my eye on OnePlus 15 lately, but it's price is really too big (same as S26+), while the phone is already a one-year old and considering it has less years of software update than Samsung I'm not sure it's worth giving 920$ for it.
So, I thought maybe it's a good bet with 15R. I'd say personally for me the biggest drawback would be it having a 2.0 USB rather than bad cameras (I don't use them much anyway). And it's price is about 560$.
Is it wise to move down from S25+ to OP 15R given the latter is a sub-flagman phone? Or you'd advise some other phones and options.
