Do earbuds count in regard to the $100 instant recycling credit? I placed my order and selected the OP Buds Pro 3 gift option and plan to send my Galaxy Buds 3 Pro to be recycled. I tried the OP Buds before, I think they sound better than the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
TBH I don't even know if they collect a recycled device back.

That's what I read. According to some AI searches earbuds do qualify for the recycled device credit. It's a nice perk. I ordered "only" the 12/256 configuration as I really don't need more. Including the free Buds and aramid fiber case + tax my all-in cost was $857 which is pretty good.
Yes indeed nice deals with the perks and looking forward to year end
According to rumors, I hope they do the recycled thing when they start taking US preorders for the 15r on Dec 17th.
Good to read they're addressing the issue. Doesn't concern me though because I'm not going to be running a stress test every day. 😂OnePlus 15 overheating fix tested — here are the results

You won't have an issue. I've been running exports from Lumafusion and DJI Mimo while wirelessly charging (on a slow charger) and it's never even felt warm.
Just discovered LibrePods app which unlocks 99% functionality of my AirPods Pro. Oppo and OnePlus phones running ColorOS 16 and OxygenOS 16 don't need root. Works perfectly. Yet another feature of iOS I've yanked out of the garden. There isn't anything really left now, even FaceTime video works with OpenBubbles for the few times I need it 😂.

The colors are meh. I would have liked to see Sandstorm or ultra violet for the 15r. If it has an MSRP of $599, that's a great price for a mid-range phone with top specs because it's supposed to get the SD Gen 5 (non elite) which is still a crazy fast SoC.
Yes agree plus you get $30 off for early sign up and let me see what they do on trade-in perks hope they have a recycle7400mAh battery, yowzer.

15s are starting to ship it looks like. Just got an email about mine. But no fedex tracking info yet. Hopefully they arrive before Dec. 29 for most of us.
And I have a ? about trade-in with them. The OEM screen protector on my 13 isn't in the best shape and it's bubbling around some of the edges/corners. Should I just remove it before sending it in, or just leave it as is?

15R reviews are out.
For the PWM-afflicted:
"It's the first OnePlus phone with a 3840Hz PWM dimming rate, helping make it the most eye-friendly OLED we've tested to date."
Some pretty critical takes otherwise, but mostly due to the price (and cameras):

The OnePlus 15R is the most disappointing Android phone I've used in 2025
The OnePlus 15R should have been one of the best value flagship phones of the year. Instead, it's overpriced and disappointing.

I think the price will hold it back. I was expecting $599 but they decided to pull a Google out of the hat. Pricing the 15r so close to the 15 will make buyers look more towards the 15 instead of the 15r and those who think that $900 is too much for a OP phone will buy neither.
OP blew the chance to entice more customers with the 15r.
FedEx has my phone. Scheduled delivery on the 22nd.
Nice! I'm looking forward to some early reviews on it15 delivered. Files etc. transferring.
