The OnePlus 15 fails some 3DMark tests at 72 degrees Fahrenheit because of thermal problems.

1. Mobile Tech Podcast with tnkgrl Myriam Joire focuses on AT&T holiday deals, 2025 mobile device picks, and the OnePlus 15 debate. 2. Myriam Joire hosts the episode, Jeff Howard appears from AT&T to explain carrier strategy, and Anshel Sag joins from More Insights and Strategy to review phones. 3. The episode asks which devices mattered in 2025, what thin-phone designs mean, and which 2026 features could reach AT&T stores. 4. Jeff Howard names the Galaxy Z Fold 7 as a major advancement because of its thinness, performance, and productivity use. 5. Myriam cites the OnePlus 13, Galaxy Z Fold 7, Razr Ultra, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and Pixel 10 Pro XL as her 2025 standouts. 6. The conversation contrasts the Pixel 10 Pro Fold with Samsung’s Z Fold 7 and calls Google’s foldable more incremental this year. 7. Myriam and Jeff discuss the iPhone 17 series, the iPhone Air, and the S25 Edge as thin designs that need battery improvements. 8. Jeff says thin phones create a foundation for future possibilities, while Myriam argues that silicon-carbon batteries could improve the form factor quickly. 9. They also point to satellite connectivity and AST as a safety-net feature that fits AT&T’s 5G coverage pitch. 10. Jeff runs through AT&T holiday offers, including the Flip 7 free with trade-in, the Pixel 10 Pro XL free with trade-in, and watches or tablets as low as 99 cents. 11. Myriam highlights prepaid deals and the Galaxy A15, then says the free Galaxy Buds 3 FE are among her favorite earbuds of the year. 12. The giveaway bundle includes a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, six months of complimentary AT&T service, a Galaxy Watch 8, and Galaxy Buds 3 FE. 13. Anshel Sag and Myriam shift to the OnePlus 15, where both say it feels less well-rounded than the OnePlus 13. 14. Anshel says the phone looks like Oppo drove the design strategy, while Myriam complains about losing the alert slider and seeing an iPhone-like app tray and notification layout. 15. Both note that the OnePlus 15 keeps the IR blaster, adds the Plus Key, and uses a durable micro-arc oxidation finish and IP69K rating. 16. The camera discussion centers on the loss of Hasselblad tuning, smaller hardware, and a thinner tri-prism setup that Anshel says trades optics for size. 17. Anshel reports thermal problems in sustained benchmarks, including 3DMark failures at 72 degrees Fahrenheit and Geekbench 6 scores that drop after rebooting. 18. Despite those issues, both describe the OnePlus 15 as very fast in daily use and acknowledge that its 7,300 mAh battery is a major selling point. 19. The episode feels like a practical industry chat with Myriam driving the pacing and Jeff and Anshel answering directly with specific device comparisons. 20. Listeners who follow Android phones, carrier deals, and 2026 mobile hardware will get the most out of it; listeners wanting a short, brand-agnostic recap may skip it.
