It's a real shame that OnePlus just became an Oppo rebranding, because the OP1 was a phenomenal phone, and up until OP6 they were both cheap and had a relatively clean Android install. To date, features like gestures are still better than what you get on the Pixel, and most of their stuff is less invasive than Google's.

The Android market nowadays, especially for high end, is "which manufacturer is the least shit", and that's a real shame.

Totally. First thing i check is "can i debloat and root this piece of shit which is technically awesome but ruined software-side". Which i most likely can't as the hurdles became more and more annoying each year up to the point where i gave up and went google.

If they'd do the same with PCs, noone would buy that shit. Unless it's a crapple...

My 7t was the best phone I ever had when it was on Oxygen OS 10, but every upgrade was a downgrade. Features were dropped, ui got uglier, bloat was added. I have an 8t now, but I won't be getting another OnePlus. Really sad

I desperately want fair phone (and it's parts) to be sold in my country. 8-10 years of android support for a self repairable phone? Yes please.

Those looked nice, yes.... But hard to get here and technically not that interesting to me, last time i checked. But we need more alternatives than just fairphone.

I hate the smartphone-market and what samsung and crapple made out of it.
