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!

So fucking dumb.
Everybody loved OnePlus's alert slider. Nobody wants fucking Bixby button mk2
Booooooooh
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?
what I heard was that 2 partners started OnePlus but one of them split and started the competing Nothing phone company
Carl Pei and Pete Lau. They both co-founded OnePlus, Carl Pei later founded Nothing.
Looks like this is my last OnePlus ):
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
When users find information that they wish to retain β such as schedules, event details, reservations, or listings β they can capture it by pressing the Plus Key or swiping up with three fingers. AI Plus Mind intelligently saves the relevant on-screen content to a dedicated Mind Space, helping users streamline their experience by capturing precisely whatβs needed and keeping it organized in one accessible location.
So...it's a screenshot shortcut?
so glad I went with fairphone over those pickle dicks.
I'm waiting for the Fairphone 6 I cannot justify buying anything else honestly...
