Loved them at first, but they fully enshitified after OPPO. They were also on my blocklist for future purchases after claiming my trade in was damaged presenting pictures with no damage.
I was considering OnePlus 15R, what is the problem with the brand?
In the early days they were everything I wanted in an Android device. Hardware sold with minimal markup, long battery life, and easily customizable when it came to the swapping ROM’s. Their customer service was also fantastic.
Then they slowly raised margins and the hardware wasn’t cheaper than other flagships. Then they started making their own ROM and making it harder to swap it out. Now they’re just another Android. Nothing sets them apart from pretty much any other device.
On top of that, their customer service is now on the deny delay defend flow. If you have a problem and you need their support, you will regret going with them. If you don’t have a problem, you’ll probably be fine. But why go with them at all, nothing they offer is better than a Samsung or LG.
As a fanboy of LG phones, sadly everything they offer is now better than LG because the last phone LG released was in 2020. At least they shut down their phone division rather than enshittifying.
Sad to see this really. I don’t think I would ever switch back to Android now that bootloaders are locked down. I am sure they will find away to take away APKs in the US. I loved being able to swap out ROMs as needed and try new things.
Pixel has turned into blatant spyware and AI machine. I just can’t get behind the all AI future that Google is going towards.
I have a OnePlus 15 and it's fucking awesome.
Top of the line hardware. Great camera. Massive battery. Very customizable.
OnePlus still has the least bloatware installed, and you can just opt out and uninstall it. I've had like half the phones since OnePlus One, and I've never logged in to a OnePlus account.
