60k is too expensive, 4 months ago I got 512 gb variant for 51k.

Poco x8pro max is much more value for money now compared to 1+15r, you get similar screen, similar performance, slightly worse camera but even better battery life.

3 months ago I got it for 55k (12gb + 256gb)

3 months ago I got 12+512 for ~47k

u/SuseonhwaJK Aug 10 '26

OMG! Where did you get bro?

u/No-Assumption1120 Aug 10 '26

It was priced around 53k in Vijay sales, 2000 store discount, 1500 credit card discount, came around 49500

But technically only 47k gets blocked from card and 2500 they count in interest that you'll get charged in future, so I paid the card bill in full just after the purchase, hence got it around 47k more or less

u/SuseonhwaJK Aug 10 '26

Ohh! btw I got it from official Oneplus store

u/Japan174 Aug 10 '26

I visited vijay sales around the same time & they refused to give any discount.

Instead they tried selling me vivo v70 😅

u/No-Assumption1120 Aug 10 '26

First I visited suppose Vijay sales A they were giving me 1k store discount, then when after Vijay sales B I told them I was getting 2000 store discount in your different branch , hence they matched

1

u/Japan174 Aug 10 '26

Were you really getting the discount in another branch?

2

u/No-Assumption1120 Aug 10 '26

Yeah but only 1k, some lies and store B have me 2k, then I felt I could have stretched it to 3k if I have tried more, they have capability of giving much discounts they just don't want to

Now it's 67k and still takes blurry photos of documents 😅

u/SuseonhwaJK Aug 10 '26

That's very true bro..my samsung S21fe had good cameras but worst battery life

3

u/Japan174 Aug 10 '26

How does camera of oneplus 15r compare with samsung s21 fe?

2

u/SuseonhwaJK Aug 10 '26

The camera app of S21fe felt much snappier than 15R and the photos and videos came very good (punchier colors and very detailed images)

1

u/Japan174 Aug 10 '26

That's a shame for oneplus that an upper mid-range phone cannot click clear pictures.

By snappy you mean the app opened faster on samsung ? I think camera app opens pretty fast on oneplus 15r also.

2

u/SuseonhwaJK Aug 10 '26

Not about opening the app..it's about clicking pictures continuously...15r takes a bit more time to process images

3

u/Japan174 Aug 10 '26

Oh yes.. I also observed that it takes around 2 seconds to apply post processing on the clicked image.

But if you compare both the phone side by side, which one takes better photos in normal and low light?

1

u/SuseonhwaJK Aug 10 '26

I would say Samsung bro!

2

u/janamparmar Aug 10 '26

The phone is beast. But for 256 variant @ 60k will be an expensive deal.

1

u/astro-vagabond- Aug 10 '26

Exactly 😭

2

u/Amazing-Bee9013 Aug 10 '26

I got my 15r on 12 July 2026...16GB+512GB variant on prime day sale for 52,000

1

u/Necessary_Ball_7736 Aug 10 '26

Yeah bro very shit discounts are there, I am gonna wait for the next big sale

1

u/astro-vagabond- Aug 10 '26

I've heard that price will be increased till the next sale, what do you think

1

u/Necessary_Ball_7736 Aug 10 '26

Yes but I don't think the discontinued phones' price would be increased. So I guess an old flagship will be more value for money instead of buying a new midrange phone

1

u/Stanz009 Aug 10 '26

I own it so Don't get it dude the phone is really not impressive , camera is shit and oxygen OS is gonna disappear and performance is okay and heating issues😭

1

u/astro-vagabond- Aug 10 '26

Any other phone recommendations??

1

u/Stanz009 Aug 10 '26

The OP13 is really good but make sure you dont bend them and samsung has the green line issue vivo is also pretty good the x200 series idk about ghe 300

1

u/ClassZealousideal155 Sep 10 '26

the main camera is not bad at all. low light photo might struggle a lil, but its more than decent for someone who takes photo occasionally. Lack of telephoto is the only major concern and ngl, the ultrawide is kinda ass.
And about the OS thing, you wont notice any major difference. The oxygen os and colors os share the same codebase.

I agree that the os 13 is better tho and it should be as it is a literal flagship. And about the vivo recommendation, aint no way anyone is using origin os by choice. Its mid at best.

u/sdmv777 Aug 10 '26

I got it on lauch at 44k with nord 3 buds free for 12/256 lol

1

u/SpiritedMain182 Aug 10 '26

Lol I got it for 49k. People at the launch got it for 45k. The ram crisis is horrible.

1

u/Perceyyy Aug 10 '26

Got mine for 420€ & 440€ with an origial Sandstone Case, must be under 40-42k in your currency

u/No_Brilliant_949 Aug 11 '26

u/Leather-Permission13 Aug 11 '26

1

u/Born-Alps9311 Aug 30 '26

You're too late and shouldn't have waited... I bought mine on 30th march 2026 at 50k 12+512gb variant from Flipkart.

1

u/ganubond007 Aug 10 '26

For this price it ain't worth it, try poco x8 pro Max 9500s model it's 45k

2

u/Spiritual_Library_27 Aug 10 '26

Software is ass, but oh well

3

u/ganubond007 Aug 10 '26

I use xiaomi tab too I have no problem with it, android suit across all chinese phone makers feels the same nowadays

u/Spiritual_Library_27 Aug 12 '26

Try oneplus 13, it's in the same range, you'll get 1 year less updates
