What are silicon-carbon batteries? Exploring the new battery tech in the One Plus 15

OnePlus 15 review.

Smartphone makers have asked users to make the same trade-off when it comes to battery life: if you want a handset that genuinely lasts the day, you usually have to accept a bigger body, more weight, and the nightly charging routine.

But that changes with the OnePlus 15, which is now on sale in the U.S. as well as other parts of the world. The latest OnePlus flagship has a lot going for it, but a key distinction is that it’s one of the first mainstream phones to make that trade-off feel less inevitable. The OnePlus 15 pairs a huge 7,300mAh pack with battery life that’s hard to ignore – more than 25 hours on the Tom’s Guide battery test, which is more than double what a smartphone usually lasts.
