Are these basically the same phone? iQOO 15R vs OnePlus 15R!

iQOO 15R vs OnePlus 15R!

I wanna call this a FIGHT FOR BLOOD! Two phones enter, and BOTH phones will probably leave, because the overall experience between these two devices is nearly identical.

OnePlus and iQOO have been close cousins for a while now, and even though the BBK alliance isn’t as clearly defined as it used to be, the two companies seem to approach similar devices in similar ways.

Still, I have to declare a winner. What small difference might eke out a win for one of these phones?

You gotta watch to find out! Continue reading “Are these basically the same phone? iQOO 15R vs OnePlus 15R!”

Massive Battery In a Flagship Killer Phone: iQOO 15R Review!

iQOO 15R review!

I’m always torn on the ‘R’ phones. Whatever “reduced” or mid-year option arrives, where does it really fit against the rest of the competition?
This is a great piece of hardware, that is obviously targeting a younger market, and keeping prices in check.

How might this fare against a SLIGHTLY older Premium phone though?
