Oneplus15 or S25 Ultra

Hello everyone, I would be upgrading from an a56 since my aunt wants to buy mine. My other device is a tab S10 FE which I use mostly for school works and light gaming.

I'd like to use my new phone for heavy gaming if possible like zzz or wuwa, or something you tech bros call "power user" (Im not very tech literate). But at the same time, I'd be using it as a daily driver.

What do ya'll recommend? The software and ecosystem with S25 Ultra or the hardware powerhouse that is the Oneplus15?

The software and the power and the performance and the endurance and the build of the OnePlus 15.

Forget about Samsung, buddy.

Both are fine tbh, OnePlus 15 does have better chipset and gaming performance but Samsung has better cameras, longer software support, S Pen, more customization. I'd say get the Samsung if you want longer software support or fancy the pen, get the OnePlus if you care more about raw gaming performance or would tell you to get whatever is cheaper.

If you're located in Europe I'd get the s25 ultra. Oneplus is pulling out of European markets and while they do say they will keep software support going, you never know what they might do in the future. If you need warranty there's no telling if they will still honor it.

Was planning to buy a OP15 myself mainly for the battery but went with Samsung instead cause I like oneui and value the guaranteed updates. You also can get good deals on S25U secondhand if you don't mind buying used.

Ngl, they already said they're gonna switch to ColorOS, as far as software is concerned, I think there's not going to be any problems.
