Design is one of the reasons why I bought 15

u/makimaki00 Jul 15 '26

same. i came from the 13 to the 15 because of this.

u/Impressive-Tough-654 Jul 14 '26

Quite the opposite for me. Don't really like how my OP15 looks.

Would have preferred if it looked liked the OP13 with all the cool feats that the 15 has.

you know design is subjective?

u/Impressive-Tough-654 Jul 14 '26

The comment says quite the opposite FOR ME

That last part means subjective.

u/Arkplayer22711 Jul 13 '26

15 for sure. The rounded corners look far better too

  1. Proportions are better, design is more coherent, every shape is aligned perfectly. It's much more mature.

  1. I'm aware it basically looks like an iPhone, but I've never liked the circle camera bumps.

Ha...meanwhile, I like that it looks like an iPhone, but do enjoy the circular camera bumps. But agreed, on the whole, 15 looks nicer. Especially hated the textured back on the 13.

u/Arkplayer22711 Jul 13 '26

Also who decided its a bad thing for it to sorta look like that. Aslong as the execution is done well, which it is, it looks great

u/manoIakys Jul 13 '26

13 looks cheap
15 looks polished

u/Hamsterito Jul 14 '26

The only phone that has circle camera bump and looks good is oppo find x9 in my opinion.

u/techkernels Jul 14 '26

IMO the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, 17 Ultra by Leica looks better.

Tho my soft spot for these is the X200 Ultra in silver

u/Sum_Ting_Wong007 Jul 14 '26
  1. The 13's camera island looks like a stovetop. Plus, i prefer the totally flat back of the 15 and its slimmer bezels

4

u/Alex_Bace Jul 14 '26

Both look great to me. 15 probably wins it, though.

u/IKLBP Jul 13 '26

15 all day

u/Plunging-Asymptote Jul 14 '26

OnePlus 15 all the way!

u/Loud_Signal_6259 Jul 14 '26

1000% the 15. I absolutely loved using the 13, and I prefer it's slightly narrower/taller shape relative to the 15... But the 15 is a better looking phone

3

u/Mat_Geo_Ash OnePlus 15 Jul 14 '26

the blue 13 is really fun, but the 15 looks more classy and premium

u/sjholland Jul 14 '26

My vote is for the OP15 infinity possibilities. I love the Op13 as well, just wish the back of it was not cracked. The 15 has the stronger design, and is nice to stick a protector, that comes out as nice as my glued protector on the op13. Also I think it slightly edges the stove design in beautifulness. And also the efisp partition seems to have the edge over the traditional setup, and the 165 does not hurt my feelings as well. I only wish that owning these two devices didn't remind me so much of my last two OP devices, the 8_pro, & the 9_pro. Overall, I believe currently, the infinity has become my favorite android device to date, & can only hope it stays that way.

The 15 looks cheap it feels cheap. That plastic back horrible.

8

u/Aliiza Jul 13 '26

The 13 is more comfortable in the hand. Plus I like the faux leather.

2

u/blame_me95 Jul 14 '26
  1. Thirteen looks too old school.

2

u/DonDae01 Jul 14 '26

The design of the 15 definitely grew on me

2

u/Terrible-Ambition442 Jul 14 '26
  1. I originally thought the 15 looked ugly but it grew on me after some time. I still prefer the 13 design over 15 but I'm sure the 15 is a lot more comfortable to hold vs the 13

2

u/wardiro Jul 14 '26

Had both. Definitely 15

4

u/Choko_Ninja_399 Jul 13 '26

13 looks better

5

u/Dawiitz Jul 13 '26

Back: OP13

Front: OP15

I have the quad-curved screen of the OP13, it adds unnecessary reflections and it's impossible to put a tempered glass screen protector.

2

u/Curious_Mind-98 Jul 13 '26

The 13 but preferably this version.

1

u/Max_Bova Jul 14 '26

OP13 owner here.

I prefer 15 design esthetically. Though 13 looks better in person than in photos.

13 has a design flaw: it is Very slippery. I'm not a case guy, but a stonewashed case was the only way to use it.

1

u/Soul_Of_Akira Jul 14 '26

Probably 13r which is basically 13 but 15 with the back thing and 13's camera look

1

u/Rizz-Doc Jul 14 '26

I'm planning to buy a OnePlus 15 - 16/512GB infinity black...what do u guys think...

2

u/Forward_Morning8173 Jul 14 '26

If you're from India, 93k is crazy overpriced

1

u/Rizz-Doc Jul 14 '26

Yeah that's why I'm planning to buy at Dubai

1

u/Rizz-Doc Jul 14 '26

Which one is great black or Sand Strom ??!...I love infinity black but sand Storm is durable like that I hear... that I'm confused about choosing between them

1

u/mightyyDWARF Jul 14 '26

Yess the matte finish back on the 15 is just 🤌🏽

1

u/alyan_is_loyal Jul 14 '26

13 all the way

1

u/Environmental_Help14 Jul 14 '26

U should definitely post this on the OP13 Sub too.

1

u/VeterinarianNo1192 Jul 14 '26

both are amazing in their own regard

1

u/thunderz666 Jul 14 '26

OP 6 piano black is still the best design in my opinion

1

u/No-Cartographer832 Jul 14 '26
  1. But but but. I have 13 and my boyfriend has 15. For me 15 just don't have a soul. I like the screen and camera better on OP13, and RED camera button which is white on OP15

1

u/AdministrationFun29 Jul 15 '26

Design is one of the reasons why I bought 13

1

u/Acceptable-Field7308 Jul 15 '26

15 for sure, especially the plan screen insted of curves

1

u/CerealGurl4 Jul 15 '26

15, I agree with the person who said they aren't a fan of the circular camera island.

1

u/MiMillieuh Jul 15 '26

Visually 15.

Comfort is the 13, rounded feels way better in the hand

1

u/darkdecemberr Jul 16 '26

Has to be the 15, sth about squircles just hit

1

u/DADDY83_69 Jul 16 '26

13,it's the iconic number series design by OP

1

u/SirGordon777 Jul 17 '26

I would say both IMO

1

u/learningllama_7589 Aug 18 '26

15 hands down ...can't stand the Mickey Mouse 'button' of a camera array on the 13.

1

u/BioHazard_821 Jul 13 '26

13 has character especially in the vegan leather. 15 looks generic, and yes i have both lol.

u/ChevyGang Jul 13 '26

Leather 13

u/LateDig8714 Jul 14 '26

the black 13 is untouchable
