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
so glad I went with fairphone over those pickle dicks.
I'm waiting for the Fairphone 6 I cannot justify buying anything else honestly...
