“Don’t be a fan of the company, be a fan of the individual product.” This line hits hard for me because I think I’ve always judged a product by its company (eg. apple, and even movies like Marvel), and this advice is really helpful for me to fix that bad habit.

[@Leanzazzy]

Yeah I used to like Samsung but they're not worth the price (far better alternatives like Xiaomi and Oppo out there) and Samsung has also forced a lot of their own proprietary apps and if you root the phone, you lose access to nearly all of them. Exynos is also way worse than Snapdragon (always has been, but the divide is getting much larger). If you choose a Snapdragon version (usually a US version) your phone comes with a locked bootloader, which locks you out of so many things. There is a Chinese variant with Snapdragon and it has an unlocked bootloader, but good luck trying to get your hands on that.

My first OnePlus phone was the 9 which is what I am writing this on currently. I switched from a Samsung s20+, and I definitely noticed a performance improvement and the operating system on the 9 works well for me. I have all the features I need in a phone and it was free with my phone carrier. I'm finding it hard to dislike this phone, and I think upgrading to a 10T would just disappoint me since I'll actually be losing wireless charging AND the awesome little alert slider! The 10 pro may be a good phone, but I think if I get that phone then I'll never get another OnePlus phone again, since the rest after that will just gradually get even more generic. I'll probably just stick to the 9 for now since it just seems to work absolutely fine.

10T is the best Android prone out there. Hyperfast charging with great performance. The camera is a masterclass and there is so little difference between the current flagship phones. Marcus has lost his way, he is now generic. The old Marcus would be complaining why phone makers are purposely bottlenecking their own products. The Hasselblad software has been hacked to a 10T and proven to work. It destroys 10 Pro in the main camera, in fact aside from niche shots, 10Ts main camera is far superior than the entire camera system of 10 Pro. It just shows how companies are bottlenecking their own products so they can sell a shittier quality "premium" product.

I think the reason of removing alert slider is to cut the price off by making similar phones in all three companies (Realme, Oppo and OP) so they could use some of it's or most it's parts to make another phone in future from another company with similar design and similar specifications but cheaper price and that bumps up their margins and market share for quite a bit.

The best phone I've ever used was the OnePlus 6T. I had it for 2 years and there were no slow downs, no battery degradation, and the experience just kept getting better. But then OnePlus changed. They got rid of Oxygen OS, and started to betray their original values. I ended up switching to Apple. No other Android phone did it for me. And I knew that everything else was going to be an inferior experience. I keep hoping the Nothing Phone will be a revival of those core values, but OnePlus is dead. RIP OnePlus.

I've always been a hardcore OnePlus fan. And I finally got the 7T as soon as it got released, and this phone still stands with its head up against 2022 flagships. The performance is so good. And the camera is still so amazing. 7T was the last T phone that had a proper camera setup (wide, ultrawide and telephoto lenses). I've decided to go for the Pixel 8/8 Pro or Galaxy S23 next year. But I highly doubt my phone will give up so soon. Hoping to take it to 2024.

What it looks like to me is that them removing the alert slider is the confirmation that the OnePlus we once knew is officially dead, and the corporate generic trash era is officially ushered in. Like we've obviously known for a while now that OnePlus has fallen off, but this is the nail in the coffin. That alert slider is more important, at least to me, than most realize. That was the symbol of the company and it represented something that we used to love about OnePlus....it's uniqueness. It being gone makes it indistinguishable from any other mobile device on the market now. Its sad, but it's time to move on from OnePlus. It was fun while it lasted... On a side note, i still sometimes wonder were it went wrong. I personally think it started pretty much when Carl pei left the company. I'm assuming he was the brains and creativity of the company, so it makes sense why all the phones went generic after he left (he left a few months after the OnePlus 8 lineup released, for reference). It also makes sense when you look at his new nothing brand and see how unique and interesting that is too.
