Famous YouTuber разобral OnePlus 15: One of the most durable flagships and it has this bizarre feature

4. December 2025 6 min read 0 comments

OnePlus 15 was taken into the hands of the famous YouTuber JerryRigEverything, and the result is exactly what you’d expect from this series—plenty of tests, knife pokes, bending, and finally a complete teardown. But along the way, there was also a big confirmation of a marketing claim that many people thought was more like overhyped advertising than reality. And yes, it’s a “tearable” cooling chamber (Vapor Chamber).

Where to buy it?

You can find the OnePlus 15 at popular local retailers, but its official price for Europe is really too high (over €1000!). But we wouldn’t be us if we didn’t have a perfect alternative for you, where you can save over the magic €450! No tricks there. Everything about the reinstalled global ROM version — you can read in our article. Check the prices in the boxes below, but be sure to click through to the article and read everything about the phone’s version.

The only downside that has recently been shown is the current low quality of streaming services due to Widevine L3, for which sellers claim there may be a fix in the next update.

Marketing that isn’t just marketing: You’ll tear it with your hands

Before unveiling the new model, OnePlus claimed that their brand-new vapor chamber is so thin you can simply tear it apart with your fingers. Sounds absurd, doesn’t it? Jerry tried it, and it turned out the manufacturer wasn’t exaggerating. The chamber is indeed extremely thin and can be torn without much force. It’s not a defect—quite the opposite. The design is meant to transfer heat as quickly as possible through its walls, which improves cooling efficiency under high chip load on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

The chamber is located under the display, which means getting to it is difficult, and during the teardown test the YouTuber practically had to destroy the display. That alone proves it isn’t an ordinary metal capsule, but an ultrathin component that works on the principle of phase change of vapor.

Micro-Arc Oxidation frame and a “sand-like” back. This is an extremely durable phone

The biggest surprise comes with the phone’s frame. OnePlus 15 uses a new Micro-Arc Oxidation (MAO) surface treatment. According to the manufacturer, this technology makes the material up to 3,4× harder than aluminum and even 1,3× harder than titanium. In practice, the test confirmed it—knife scratches left clearly smaller marks than on typical anodized frames. It feels like fine matte glass, yet it’s still metal.

The tested Sandstorm variant uses a reinforced plastic back cover. While it isn’t as scratch-resistant as glass, it offers better drop resistance, which the tester confirmed as well — the plastic doesn’t split or crack, it only gets scratched. The Infinite Black and Ultraviolet versions got a classic glass back.

IP69, bending and seals: Even most flagship models couldn’t do that

OnePlus 15 carries an IP69 certification, meaning resistance to high-pressure water and steam cleaning—something that’s a level above traditional IP68. In the teardown, you can see red rubber seals on the connectors as well as around the internal modules. The bend test went great—when bending from the back, the phone didn’t move at all; from the front, it bent slightly, but without damaging the construction or breaking any water-resistance.

It’s great to see that despite an extremely large battery and thin chamber walls, OnePlus still kept excellent rigidity.

7300 mAh! A huge battery inside a regular-sized body

The biggest surprise when disassembling the phone was its battery. The 7300 mAh capacity is practically unheard of in the standard flagship category. This is a new type of Silicon Carbon Nano Stack battery in a dual configuration. OnePlus doesn’t hide the fact that it wants to beat the competition in battery life—and so far, it looks like they’ve managed it.

Thanks to the “pull-tabs,” the battery is paradoxically easier to remove than with other brands—a further plus point for serviceability.

Top-tier flagship-level hardware

The device doesn’t disappoint even when it comes to specs. Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is among the most powerful chips on the market. The display has 6,8 inches, 165 Hz, and it’s protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Charging is 80 W via USB-C and 50 W wirelessly. The photo setup is a triple 50 MP array, complemented by 3.5× zoom with OIS and a high-quality 32 MP selfie module with an RGBW sensor.

Even though the OnePlus 15 has been criticized for a camera downgrade, because it uses smaller sensors than OnePlus 13, for its price it’s still a great-equipped smartphone—and it’s primarily aimed at people who don’t need an absolutely top-tier camera.

The internal construction looks clean—it uses classic cross-head screws and modular parts that can be swapped out relatively easily. The charging port has its own IP69 seal, which isn’t standard with many brands.

Conclusion: One of the most durable flagship ships of the year, and marketing that doesn’t lie

OnePlus 15, according to the teardown test, confirms that it’s among the toughest and best-constructed flagship devices of the current generation. A durable MAO frame, high IP69 rating, an excellent bend test, and a massive 7300 mAh battery are strong arguments. But the most unusual (and yet functional) detail is the extremely thin vapor chamber that you can tear with your hands—not because it’s weak, but because it works exactly the way it’s supposed to.

So it’s an interesting combination of performance, durability, and unexpected technical solutions that push OnePlus 15 into the category of truly unusual flagships.
