What’s less forgivable is the complete lack of wireless charging. This was understandable in early 2024 on the $500 OnePlus 12R, an annoyance on the $600 OnePlus 13R, and is now an inexcusable absence on the $700 OnePlus 15R.

Well, if this is the most disappointing phone in 2025, maybe the expectations were off. Why was the lack of wireless charging understandable in 2024?

However, a camera downgrade combined with a price hike is a very understandable reason to be disappointed (for me, at least).
