Pre-ordered a Pixel 8 Pro with the watch. I’ve had this OnePlus 7 Pro since it launched and I want the new features and a really fucking good camera. I’d also like to get away from OnePlus’ bullshit, but all in all it’s been a fantastic phone. Still very fast.

What do you don’t like about OnePlus? It’s been a while since I’ve used their original Android flavour on mine

Their built in apps, the red cable stuff, the multi-press screenshot gesture that I can’t disable.

The phone is still crazy fast for it’s age, but I wanted a no-compromise camera, and 5g, wireless charging, the call screening stuff.

Basically it’s just time for an upgrade.

Yeah, that’s fair. I put DivestOS on my 5T, runs perfectly. Hopefully I’ll get the Android 14 flavour, otherwise I’ll have to start looking for something else too

You can’t turn off their multi-press screenshot thing, and they install their apps and un-disable them, trying to figure out which messages or contacts app is the right one is annoying.

Don’t get me wrong, the phone is still impressively fast, but some of the newer tech, specifically camera, 5g, wireless charging, and the call screening style stuff is what I’m after.
