Comment on EXCLUSIVE: OnePlus Is Being Dismantled

Oof. I mean, OnePlus had already fallen off quite a bit since being required by Oppo. I’m typing this from an 8t but I made up my mind months ago that this would be my last OnePlus device due to their merging of oxygen os and color os and their massively degraded modding community.

Man, the android phone industry/community used to be so vibrant and fun. I’ll keep this one until it dies but I don’t know what I’ll do next. All the time it seems like Pixel and Samsung are my only choices. Are Motorola ok? I ditched them years ago ironically for essentially the same reasons I’m ditching OnePlus now but again it’s been years.

Are Motorola ok?

Depends on what you value in a phone. Like, I like a vanilla OS, a lot of memory, large battery, and a SIM slot. I don’t care much about the camera quality and don’t care at all about size and weight (in fact, if someone made a tablet-sized phone, I’d probably switch to that). That’s almost certainly not the mix that some other people want.

There’s some phone comparison website I was using a while back that has a big database of phones and lets you compare and search based on specification.

goes looking

  Motorola. I used to work at a place that had Motorola branded bat boxes. They are not the same. My roommates partner had a phone that was the MINIMUM amount of specs. We’re talking 32/32. I verified it because i couldn’t believe it. And the thing was riddled with ads. I put him on a custom launcher and my private dns, 33.84% of his phones queries have been blocked. What in the hell.

I went from oneplus 6 to nothing phone 1, which is alright. Sadly some friends bought the nothing phone 2 after I recommended the brand and they both don’t like it. After this I’ll probably move to fairphone if I can afford it at that time
