Updated my 7t to OS 12 last week. It made my phone incompatible with my carrier, Visible Wireless (a budget version of Verizon). I specifically bought the 7t two years ago because it was compatible with Visible.

Switched to Mint and having mixed results that I am fairly confident is due to similar compatibility issues. Aside from all the other reasons to drop OnePlus, I'm switching to a pixel because it's just not popular enough to have promised compatibility.

Unfortunately they lost their way...

I've been with OnePlus since the "One" (in the days when you had to find someone on Reddit to send you an invite.

Have had the One, 3T and Nord, wife's got a 6T.

Think we'll both be moving to Pixel 7/8s when our current phones give up.

The new OnePlus phones just feel very bloaty now, have Oppo skins on them, and there are more models than I care to keep track of.

Want a decent mid range phone? Do you get the Nord 2, the Nord CE, the Nord CE 5G? Maybe you want something better - do you get the 10, 10 Pro? 10T?

They've just spread themselves too thin and stopped focusing on what made them great - a solid mid range phone at a good price with no major corners cut.

I think the Nothing Phone (1) is probably the nearest you'll get now to what OnePlus used to be - and I believe the CEO was the CEO of OnePlus before it went downhill.

The support issue common with every android phone, I'm so sick of it I think I'm finally jumping ship and getting on iPhone. I keep thinking that the dev teams probably don't use of on daily basis, there are issues that should not exist... like sometimes I'll copy and bunch of things and then it won't paste the last item copied...

Wow, has become a 7Pro love stream.

I have to wholeheartedly agree. Its an amazing phone with great performance. The 'gimmick' of the retractable front camera gives me a nice and clean screen.

I was forced to upgrade to the 7 Pro when my 3 broke on account of someone deciding that trying to run me over on a crosswalk would be a really good idea. Reading what others have said about the later one plus models, maybe im glad to have upgraded from the 3 early now.
