Yeah, that's a hard pass from me.
Friends don't let friends buy OnePlus, but you're not my friends so knock yourselves out.
OnePlus is dead to me after the 6...
The 6 was a beautiful phone, and IMO their last good phone. It lasted me up until this year, and to be honest, my new Pixel is missing features that I love from OP, like the screen gestures for skipping songs.
I wouldn't trust them with another purchase again, though. I loved the 1 and 6, but never again.
Pretty much same boat, I had the one, two, three, and six. I'm on a pixel 7 now. I miss the alert slider and a good finger print scanner
Why not? I had a OnePlus One back in the day and I quite liked it. What happened since to taint its reputation?
It's basically an OPPO clone now. Oxygen OS is effectively ColorOS re-marketed. Unless you're chill with Chinese phones and software I would stay far far away.
Even back then OnePlus was sketch as hell. Remember their "ladies, take a pretty selfie and win an OnePlus" campaign?
Misogyny and the tech industry, name a more iconic duo.
The great Iphonization of the OS is my main issue.
It was supposed to be classic Android with a few extra features on top of it.
I had a OnePlus 3 and a OnePlus 7t I know I will not continue on OP.
I was buying this brand mostly for the vanilla like android. These days are over.
I'll give FairPhone a go I think for the next device.
I am on the same boat. Had the op1/2 and have a 6t currently but now my display is broken and the battery is very bad. So I bought a fairphone 5 and am waiting for it's arrival. :)
As someone that used to love OnePlus, what's the more recent equivalent?
I felt like around the 3 or so, I could get a flagship-ish phone for a reasonable price. Is there anything like that now?
I agree on the pixel comment. The pro is on the expensive side, but the 7a is most like the old OnePlus lineup imo. For 500 bucks or so you get a lot of phone. And the software is plain old android without much extra BS.
The Pixel is what I opted for after I bricked my last OP phone
