| When they increased prices to $900 for roughly the same quality as Samsung it was doomed. The OnePlus 7 was such an amazing phone and honestly I remember buying a Pixel after it and realizing how crappy Tensor was and well optimized OnePlus was. |

| I had the exact opposite experience. I replaced my pixel 1 with a OnePlus 8t and I've been kicking myself ever since for not going with a new pixel. This phone is awful! My original pixel was so much better than the several years newer 8t. I absolutely long for the day I can finally, in good conscience, replace this piece of trash with a new pixel phone. I think the day is near. Finally. |

| ▲ | amarant a day ago | parent [-] | | The issues are legion. First thing I noticed was the addition of bloat. The "stock android"was a main selling point for me, but I do not feel they delivered. The ultra fast charging has been nice on occasion, but I think it's done more harm than good: the battery deteriorated faster than any phone I've had before it. I've had lots of issues with the usb-c port, it keeps spitting out cables, occasionally doesn't connect properly. The behind-the-screen fingerprint reader is a really cool feature, unfortunately it's so unreliable I've stopped using it completely since it's faster to use the pin code than doing 8 scans of my finger. Lately the power button has stopped working which is super annoying, if I run out of batteries my phone is dead until an alarm rings, which turns it on again. The sound slider is a cool idea, unfortunately it interacts weirdly with several apps. The worst of which is it opens "find in page"in my web browser any time I touch it. Oh and it became loose and occasionally switches on its own, but that's wear and tear I guess... There is so much wrong with this phone... | | |

| ▲ | wavemode 21 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yep. This is a common problem for pocket devices with USB-C ports. Those suckers collect dust and grime if you don't cover them up. I usually use the pointy end of a plastic flosser. |

| ▲ | opan a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I'm using a OnePlus 8T with LineageOS and it's been great for me. I replaced the stock OS day 1, after getting the latest firmware update. I got it off eBay for a decent price a few years ago when AT&T made a bunch of old phones stop working via a whitelist. My OnePlus 5 I had at the time supported VoLTE on paper but didn't make the whitelist for some reason so I had to get a newer model. I don't really see the appeal of Pixel phones. I think I'd still wanna replace the stock OS right away to get the experience I'm used to if I had one. Not even sure I'd wanna go with Graphene. | |
| ▲ | driverdan a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Besides a mix of older Pixels and other phones, in the past few years I went OnePlus 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and currently OnePlus 13. I was completely underwhelmed by the 8 Pro. If felt like a marginal improvement over the OnePlus 8 for a premium price. The back cracked, water got in, and it stopped working. The OnePlus 13 feels like a significantly better phone in every way. | |

| I was on Pixels since the first generation, and only I recently switched from the Pixel 8 Pro to the OnePlus 15, so I was very late to the game here and missed the peak OnePlus days. But even so, I've been way happier with the OnePlus than the Pixel. Only thing I miss is the camera quality of the Pixel. Bummed that I won't have the option next time. |

| ▲ | bearjaws a day ago | parent [-] | | Yeah I recently went to a Find N6 and the battery life is quite literally 40% more than a Pixel. Not to mention the performance is significantly better. Obviously as a folding phone it's more expensive, but it's leagues ahead of the Pixel Fold as well. |

| Yep, I went from a OP7T to P6Pro and it did not feel like an upgrade. I still miss the macro camera. |

| Maybe that's the true cost of these devices, and the discounts we enjoy on other platforms reflect just how much they make selling our data and apps? |
