No matter how it’s translated into raw sales or market share, OnePlus has been on a tear in the lead-up to the OnePlus 15. The OnePlus Open remains one of my favorite foldables ever, and I continue to hope for an eventual follow-up to compete against Samsung and Google’s efforts in the US. The OnePlus 12 and 13, meanwhile, offered exceptional rivals to the usual suspects lining your carrier’s shelves; this year’s OnePlus 13, in particular, felt like something special.

After a quiet couple of years for the Flip series, though, that obsession with slimness could finally make its way to the Galaxy Z Flip lineup next year.
