Timing is crucial as discounts and promotions are stacking up fast ahead of early-2026 flagship releases. Buyers are pushing trade-ins, gift cards, and coupons hard, with some of the best deals expiring at the end of the month.

Android Central, which flagged the Best Buy trade-in deal last week, reports the OnePlus 15 packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, paired with 16GB of RAM and a hefty 7,300 mAh battery. The phone boasts an IP69K rating, meaning it’s tough against dust and water. However, it misses out on Qi2, the magnetic wireless charging standard. Androidcentral

But those headline savings can be tricky. Trade-in credits vary based on the device’s condition and can change without warning. Plus, store credit and gift cards won’t lower your sales tax and might be taken back if you return the phone.
OnePlus positions the 15 as a budget-friendly option against high-end models like Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra, both mentioned in recent reviews. But that advantage could disappear quickly if competitors roll out similar deals or if the promotional credits expire once the month ends.
