Let's get rid of a feature that positively differentiated our product and load it up with AI slop instead. It's a guaranteed winning strategy! Nothing could possibly go wrong!
I loved my 7t, it was the best phone I'd ever had, especially when it was still on oxygen os 10. Every major os update it got since then felt like a downgrade though, unfortunately. Now I have an 8t, which is fine and I'll probably keep it until it dies, but I don't think I'm going to get another OnePlus. Any androids that have that old OnePlus feel? I remember I used to like Moto's too, are they any good nowadays?
I don't think there is one that has the clean old OnePlus feel. I still liked them until the custom ROM support died out for follow up devices to keep it going beyond the official OS support, since the hardware was solid.

So fucking dumb.
Everybody loved OnePlus's alert slider. Nobody wants fucking Bixby button mk2

now I get why they split and we have Nothing phones as a result

Nothing isn't that much better. Their latest Nothing 3A phones have a dedicated AI button and no alert slider

Who split?
Jrockwar@feddit.uk · 4 pts · 1y
Carl Pei and Pete Lau. They both co-founded OnePlus, Carl Pei later founded Nothing.

what I heard was that 2 partners started OnePlus but one of them split and started the competing Nothing phone company

OnePlus fucking sucks anyway. I've had multiple and they are buggy as fuck. They do the same forced apps and shit that I loathe.
IMO the only real option is a phone straight from Google and then you can more easily put a custom ROM than really anything else.

They peaked with the OnePlus 7 pro. Loved the pop up camera to provide a true full screen experience without pinhole or notches. Beautiful design.

My OnePlus 7 is still in use. It constantly has issues. There's some sort of GPU driver issue because sometimes the screen will turn to static
