What CompareTab says about OnePlus 15 vs OnePlus 16
OnePlus 16 has the larger display than 15, with a 9000 mAh battery versus 7300 mAh and a 185 Hz display instead of 165 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (200 MP versus 50 MP) and a higher-resolution front camera (50 MP versus 32 MP). OnePlus 15, however, is thinner at 8.2 mm versus 8.55 mm and supports faster wired charging at 120 W versus 100 W. The main trade-off is 16’s battery capacity, smoother display, and higher-resolution cameras versus 15’s faster charging and thinner body.
