My one plus 8 pro got progressively worse with every software update.

The three most frustrating bugs were the first 5 or so seconds of video recording being laggy and poor, the camera opening very slowly so you'd miss the opportunity to take a picture of whatever it was you were trying to capture quickly, and worst of all, the Bluetooth volume randomly going to 100% and deafening me.

Oh and Google pay kept randomly not working, which was embarrassing.

I was a customer going all the way back to oneplus 2, but after my last two phones, never again.

My oneplus 6pro's camera developed a bug that wouldn't allow anything in focus, and it persisted after sending it back to the factory.

My oneplus Nord developed a memory issue that would constantly save bug reports to system memory anytime you had 5g enabled. It would basically require a complete system wipe after the end of the day. Pretty sure they didn't even open it up when I sent it back for repairs.

The hardware is shit, and the customer service is even worse. I really can't believe they have the gall to charge people flagship prices for such shitty product and service.

yeah the op 7 to 9 gens got screwed over hard it feels like.

That's sad. I'm still running a OnePlus 6 today, it's still very fluid, no issues

Thanks for the thread! Waiting for the gsmarena review, but I'm not that convinced by OnePlus recently. Seems like it's just another BBK variation

Np. But as a guy living in the states. I would love to have a oppo like phone. Mainly for the cameras. And this is coming from a guy with the pixel 7 pro.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Interesting, because on that side of the Atlantic, it would be nice to have the Pixels for the prices you have in the US

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

oh yeah definitely. Its realy a grass is greener on the other side type of feeling. But also, at the same time I have gotten frustrated with the pixel camera output.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's surprising, I thought it was supposed to be top notch

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

as a photography guy. the pixel 7 pro fights you in every way like not switching to the telephoto for slightly more closed up photos like 3 to 6 feet. The output is just as bad, because its either blobby mess, over sharpen, crush detail, or all of the above. All because google doesn't want to give you control. It feels like they didn't overhaul the algorithm to account for these big sensors, because of this it makes the photos feel fake.

Interesting!

Thanks for the GSM Arena review

Looks good, but 1000 euros, no way.
