Oneplus 15 drops to $799.99: a sweet deal before potential us exit

The OnePlus 15 just got a significant price cut, landing at $799.99 – a $100 discount from its original price. This comes as rumors swirl about OnePlus potentially withdrawing from the US market as early as April.

Why now?

The deal offers a 256GB model with 12GB of RAM for $799.99, a reduction from its $899.99 launch price. Interestingly, the higher-end 512GB/16GB variant remains at $999.99.

This isn't your typical trade-in promotion. You can also snag freebies like the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro with the purchase, a pair of earbuds usually retailing for $79.99. That effectively adds $180 value to the deal. The phone itself boasts a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and running Android 16. Its camera system includes 50MP triple rear cameras and a 32MP front camera, complemented by a hefty 7,300mAh battery with blazing-fast 120W wired and 50W wireless charging.

While the rumored US exit creates uncertainty, analysts suggest this price drop is less about a market retreat and more about clearing inventory before a potential shift in strategy. The OnePlus 15 has consistently received high marks for its performance, display quality, and charging speeds, as detailed in our previous review.

Samsung's Galaxy S26, with its 6.3-inch display, is considerably more expensive at $899.99. For those seeking flagship performance without the premium price tag, the OnePlus 15 offers a compelling alternative. The question is, how long will this deal last before OnePlus potentially pivots?

The phone’s impressive specs and value proposition are undeniable – a potent combination that may be a last hurrah for the device in the US.
