From what little I've found I haven't seen anything that would make me jump from my 7t pro McLaren. I honestly can't tell the difference between 60 and 90 hz so I don't think 120 hz is a big draw. What else is there besides the 64 mp shooter?
I tried posting in the McLaren forum but keep getting an error when trying to open the forum.

I have no interest. OnePlus did great in the beginning when they supported development efforts like we have here at xda. Now we can root but it breaks updating and we can't get r/w to the system partition. Their prices are also shooting up pretty quickly.
Hell no going teamPixel

Well, there's the OnePlus exclusive hardware-accelerated motion interpolation for videos so that videos can be upscaled to 120fps, making videos we watch on the internet (which are mostly in 30fps format since most cameras shoot at 30fps) smoother. This will be a awesome for someone like me, who found watching low framerate contents like youtube videos over a long period causes nausea. Why am I writing this when I know you won't tell the difference anyway (facepalm

One of the major reason I chose this phone was for the notchless uninterrupted screen. Seems like 8 pro is going to have a punch hole screen... So going to wait

So will I as I am certain T-Mobile will be carrying it. I have tried twice to upgrade or rather go back to the S10 but both phones were defective, kept saying refreshing SIM data at the bottom of the screen a few times every minute and would lose network connection, so I will stay with my OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren until the OnePlus 8 Pro comes along.
I wanted to go with one of the S20 phones but the prices for them are ridiculous and the down payment is also stupid high.

I've seen some renders of it and it is fugly.
I read an article while I was in the hospital after my knee replacement surgery about Google was trying to make the ugliest phone ever with the Pixel 5 and 5XL and I have to agree. I thought the iPhone 14 series was bad but the upcoming Pixel outdoes them hands down.

The technical issues here are true of all Android 10 phones, because of changes from Google. This isn't Oneplus's fault and all other manufacturers will have the same issues. The grass isn't greener.
Also it is not technically true that you can't get R/W to /system. What is true is that the build process for Android 10 leaves no free space in the /system partition and uses a block-deduping scheme to reduce size, so in order to get useful R/W access the community needs to build tools to expand the partition sizes. This is all doable and probably will get integrated into custom recoveries, but it's taking time.
In the meantime, systemless Magisk and overlay FSs has been the way to go for a long time, it's not quite as convenient as just R/W remounting, but it's more flexible, plays nice with OTAs, and works great today for almost all practical needs to modify /system

That sums up my thoughts exactly!
I had Oneplus 3t that I used for 4 years before it got stolen. I relied on custom ROMs for the smoothness and that was the one main factor considering Oneplus phones. For the recent "flagship killer" devices, I don't see any ROM supports and so few ROM threads in XDA(maybe I am wrong here). I am using a Pixel 3 and find it difficult to consider a Oneplus device because of ROM support. Please correct me here if you guys think that the Custom ROM support for 7T/Pro is as great as it was for 2/3/3t.....6t.

It's not great yet. But I think this will change with time. It's just taking longer now, but I don't think it's a permanent situation.
With Android 10 and no /system access, no thanks (and for the #gishgallop, I don't want any Android 10 phone). This is bad enough.

Follow this guide to be able to install OTA updates after unlocking bootloader/rooting!
I'd only consider the 8 Pro if the Tmo offering is good.
* It can be converted to international and participate in open betas
* It's available on JOD at a sane price and a down-payment under $100
The all-screen sexiness and colors of the McLaren 5G is just too damn good to trade in right now.

Why only TMobile?
If the unlocked generic 8 Pro has the same important LTE and 5G frequencies as the TMo version, wouldn't it be easier to work with it including getting updates after being rooted ?
If you check the TMO web site you'll see that are saying they will NOT be getting the 8 Pro. They will get the 8, just not the pro. From what I have read, no US carrier is getting the Pro. As of now, you'll only be able to get the Pro from 1+

From what ive seen on reviews, the 5t's battery is as strong as the 5's and 3t( i owned it before mate pro). Their software is very very very clean and optimized. Best software ever used on a phone. On the 3t i was getting ~20 hours every day. I suggest you to go for the 5t ( since you got the 2xl for photos) and save the $300 difference between them.
Ps: if you order from OP site, use paypal, not your CC. Better safe than sorry.
Pps: not bashing on OP, just to be clear, i love what they've done so far with their phones, also really considering buying the 6/6t and sell my 10 pro if they drop the iphone design ( i know they are copying oppo, but lets be honest, it does looks like iphone 7 plus ).

Get the mate 10 standard! I can get like 11 hours + screen on time browsing, texting, snapchat, insta, music etc.
Only thing holding this phone back is the development community as not many have bought the device yet.. and it doesn't help that the US are scared of Huawei keeping them from getting into the US market...
You either share your data with Korea on Huawei or get hacked and lose credit card, personal info, data etc and everything with one plus Lol

Yes, I was thinking exactly about it :good:
I know the Mate 20 pro re-appeared on Google’s Android Q Beta page, but I'm really not sure about what to do with the phone. It's great but the uncertainty is a bit worrying.
Is there anyone out there that has sold or is considering selling the mate20pro? If yes, which phones did you go for/are you considering?

Fair point, but it's just that if I think like that I'll have to stick to the mate20pro for another half year or so, most other "flagship" android phones have already been released for this year.. I reckon that the S10 or S10+ are the only ones that come close to the mate20pro in terms of camera versatility, battery, size, and I'd also get the headphone jack, which is nice.
Still not decided whether to sell it or not. I could sell it for max 400 EUR now...
In case I sell Mate then probably will chose between OP7 Pro and S10+. Each has pros and cons, but certainly I will miss Mate's camera. And charging speed (ok, OP is close here). And 3D face unlock..

So you'll stick to the mate20 pro for another 10 months or so? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, we might be lucky and they figure it all out in the next couple of weeks/months but it could take much longer and then the re-sell value of the mate20pro will be very low (apart from the risk of not having an updated Android version).
I have the same problem. Only phone what can change is P30 Pro but good one model, without reed, orange color problem in camera.
S10 Plus is finr but still no even close to Mate 20 Pro.
Im still on my Mate 20 Pro and I cant change it, because P30 Pro is still expensive for me. But the price is falling day by day for my Mate 20 Pro.

For me it's related to the security updates, maybe we'll stop getting them within a couple of months, we just can't be sure at this point. If that should happen (hopefully it won't!) the phone wouldn't sell for anything really, so it's sort of sell while it's still sellable.

Yep, thinking exactly the same. Sadly for me there is no proper alternative right now.
OP7 camera is dissapointing (according to feedbacks on OP forums), it has ghost touch issues (probably SW related, so fixable)..
S10+ on the other hand has desperately slow charging, camera is good but still a no match for Mate's in poor light conditions
Well, probably will sell my Mate soon and anyway take one of the above devices. As you say, it may happen that in few months this phone won't be sellable

It's great if that works for you guys.
But it's a relatively new device, I'm not really ok with not getting security updates. There's a reason those are rolled out, and it's not just to protect users from shady download sites.

You are right, it's not the first thing I look at. The truth is that I started worrying more and more about security as I got older, probably because I have way more sensitive information now than I had in my teens (banking apps and stuff, emails, whatsapp which yes, I could all remove, but that defeats the purpose of a smartphone) - it's the principle that matters.
Also, another thing is that it could well be that in some months we all have to install Ark OS, which allegedly will work with android apps but that's not what I signed up for when I spent almost $1k on this phone.
It's like buying an electric car and after one year they tell you that it's a hybrid now.
Got an iPhone XS Max 256 GB and i love it ! I still have my mate 20 pro. Maybe I will sell it but I got used to iOS so quick and it is really good. I got a used one from swappa less than 800 and it works great. I’ve been an Android fan for some years now but I think I might like the iPhone better also I live in USA and iMessage is a must here. Don’t be afraid of using other OS. Camera is great as well. No night mode or ultra wide but the standard pictures IMO are more flattering and taking pictures it’s instant. I took a bunch of pictures and colored side by side and surprisingly I like the iPhones better. Just wanted to tell you my experience

All current devices will continue to receive security updates and access to google play, Future devices may not but as it appears Google and Huawei are working together. Of course everything published is negative is that not the way it always is? Doom and gloom first then reality. I just bought a P30 Pro on device upgrade yesterday for cheap 350 in canada and my mthly plan stayed pretty much the same as it ws prior, in fact I got more data , I am in Canada. I am not too concerned, in fact if I opt for the Mate 20 I can save another 100 but damn the 10x zoom is so appealing, yet to open box
I think this is not a really big issue, even if you can't get auto update on your Huawei.
Google can't stop you install the software
such a nice phone what a pity to throw away
I'll probably get Pixel 4 or Pixel 4XL somewhere in November - December. Don't want one more Chinese phone anymore.

Not sure if this thread makes sense. The categories are the same as the Nord forum ones.
I will soon be posting the basics of correctly flashing and plus, this saves you from the occasional ranting threads.
I will keep on adding more content as and when I get time
So I get 5 people on xda (including me) have gotten their nord?
I'm still thinking if I'll switch from my op7 (non-T) to the Nord or if some family member will get it... 90hz is nice by the way but does not make the phone really different from the 7 for me.
Since my 7 is full-stock I'm thinking of keeping the nord just for playing, hacking, gaming....
To the other owners:
Do you like your phone so far?
Is it an improvement to your prior phone?
Is it your first phone?

I had the Oneplus 5 prior to the Nord, so it's definitely an upgrade. Until now I like the phone, haven't tried everything yet. But the 90Hz display is great. I'm a bit disappointed that there is no wifi 6. In addition to that, 5G doesn't work with dual sim yet, that needs to be fixed asap.

Well, this is my first good phone
I am going to be switching from a phone with 2gigs of ram and one of the first 4g compatible mediatek SoC to the nord
I think it will be a huge improvement for me at least.
Plus, OnePlus has a great developer community (I intend to help porting a few things too)
That is a huge plus for me, I like tinkering with my hardware.

Got the Nord and OP7pro as well. Still, the OP7 feels a bit snappier. But I like the size of the Nord. Easier to handle and a lot lighter. Cameras have been more or less the same as the OP7pro up untill now from what I could see. The front facing cameras are actually really good. Strange that we can't record 4k 60fps on the main sensor.
REALLY waiting for UAG or Spigen to release some good cases. Got a bit scared after seeing the video from Jerryrigeverything to be honest.
I guess when support and development on XDA picks up, we could tweak some software and hardware to make it a more complete phone. Like dual speaker mods, better camera processing and some more optimizations.
But all in all, it's been a great experience so far. And I've changed to the Nord as my daily driver. (Still have my OP7pro on me at all times).

But all in all, it's been a great experience so far. And I've changed to the Nord as my daily driver. (Still have my OP7pro on me at all times).

funny thing, i'm using a OP7T PRO and i'm thinking of buying the Nord instead.
The OP7T PRO is awesome but it's big and heavy, i've always used big screen phones but i'm getting to the point where i don't want them anymore.
Nord's camera is good, i've seen comparisons with OP7T and it's almost the same so that's ok with me.
It's lighter, a bit smaller, not the best but still a good processor which should be good for battery compared to PRO.
as a make quite some familie selfies i really like the Nord's wide angle front cam, to bad it make a big punch hole but compromises needs to be made.
How does the single speakers hold up to the double stereo speakers on your 7 PRO?

Actually think that the speaker on the Nord sounds a bit better. Sound is a bit more clear and less muffled. That is, until you listen in landscape and really hear how much better a stereo setup is.

I agree, nothing beats a dual stereo setup.
But the difference can be minimal if the single speaker is of good quality.
I don't remember which device but yesterday i saw a review of the Nord compared to a device with dual stereo and the Nord surprisingly sounded better.
And things can be better when we get a stereo mod

So I get 5 people on xda (including me) have gotten their nord?
I'm still thinking if I'll switch from my op7 (non-T) to the Nord or if some family member will get it... 90hz is nice by the way but does not make the phone really different from the 7 for me.
Since my 7 is full-stock I'm thinking of keeping the nord just for playing, hacking, gaming....
To the other owners:
Do you like your phone so far?

I'm loving the phone so far, it's a big upgrade from my huawei p10 (lost the bootlader unlock code for that too so I'm glad I can finally root again). Better camera, display, it's faster etc. Big success imo.

I switched from OP 7T to Nord - much happier with the size - don't miss the performance as I don't game.
Speaker sound quality is not as good I would say.
Also, after a week I do get the feeling the battery is not lasting as long as the 7T - maybe I still using the Nord more than usual - but I don't think so...
Only problem is that the Nord got into a boot loop after a week and I had to hard reset to get it back and spend hours re-installng etc.

Please bring UNBRICK TOOL for ONEPLUS NORD
after unlocking and locking bootloader im getting corrupt device message and cant boot into OS
please help
I know nobody from OnePlus gives a damn anymore and I'm just here ranting to no one. But I just need to express my anger somewhere.
I'm a proud owner of the OnePlus One, part of the first bunch of invites, served me for 4 years and still works to this day, the battery is just a bit dead. Then I bought he 5T which is in my opinion one of the best phones ever made for my purposes. I don't do photos, I'm an IT admin that just needs a pocket PC that has plenty of utilities available and the 5T had everything i need.
After 5 years of service the 5T even though it is still working, just dies on me at 25% probably because of the 3rd party battery and also has general slowness and gets stuck sometimes but overall it has a metal body, headphone jack, read ceramic fingerprint and ACTUAL OxygenOS 10.0.1
I literally just opened the box of the 10T and I find myself with a brick of plastic that apparently from what I've seen in the videos it doesn't even withstand water (which the 5T does veeeery well even if not officially rated) that doesn't have an headphone jack.
Started messing with it and i found myself in a situation that made me start thinking if i should send it back or not. Here's a brief list:
I cannot unlock the phone unless i first double tap and then the fingerprint sensor is available while with the 5T i can literally touch the rear ceramic sensor and it instantly unlocks while turned off, which increases significantly the unlock time and pisses me off even further.
The bottom navigation buttons are not customizable like they where with 10.0.1, I set the square button to lock the phone with a long press, now i cannot do it since it instead opens split screen app that I NEVER use.
The Oneplus shelf is now available from a top scroll down on the status bar ( WHAT THE F***??????) and instead of the shelf now we have F****** Google Discovery page that you cannot even disable if you want to and from what I've seen some people handled to hide with an app made for Oppo's ColorOS.
The pattern lock on the lockscreen is way too high, i understand the sensor is at the bottom but there are literally 5cm available where only the emergency contact button is (not even at the middle of the gap which triggers my OCD) I have big hands but still have to reach the top and it's hella annoying.
For some reason it is now illegal to have circle app icons since you cannot choose that shape, but there is some weird ass other shape, go figure
Settings app got completely butchered, i can't find anything and, for instance i still didn't find the parallel apps and pocket mode and why the hell are the icons and fonts so big in there, what is the purpose??
Why are all Google Apps picking up the wallpaper color and changing their theme, it looks like garbage, I just want it black i tried every way and unticked the option but still doesnt work they are all pink-reddish It's disgusting, why am i not allowed to set it black??
Where is the advanced power menu option??? I want to be able to select the boot to recovery and boot to bootloader option not just the lame poweroff and reboot
If you go to the task manager, you press "close all" the phone decides which apps to close to "have optimal performance". ***** i clicked close all to actually close all, if i wanted you to decide what to close I'd have clicked that... This is pure idiotism. It even trolls you because you click it and closes everything except the current opened app and reopens that one....
Where are the ROMs ??? The list of devices on the site stops at the 9 pro https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade and then there is the Nord series. I want the Official ROM zip.
What's funny is that my best friend bought one too and when it arrived 2 days ago he found that the power brick had the type C connector broken inside.
Now I'm sitting here thinking if i should pack it and send it back.
This is disappointing af. I need good specs and easy root with stock android, am I asking too much here ?
Both Android OS (since Pie) and phones (Samsung at least) have taken a dive from 2019.
I'm still running stock Note 10+'s one on 9 the other 10. I see nothing new I like. I absolutely demand expandable storage and good SOT. I'm set for another 2-3+ years.
Meh, give it das boot and find something that fulfills its mission for you.
Lots of older models including some that are new, unused. My last N10+ I bought was one of those. Unlike a used phone the factory sealed ones will be loaded with the OS version at time of manufacture. If you hate 11 and especially 12 as much as me, it's a no brainer. My N10+'s will likely never be upgraded... they run very well as is. Anything from Pie up is reasonably secure unless you do something stupid.
We feel your OnePlus pain since they and most OEM's have been trending downward! Not a good sign of things to come....
Return would be one of your options....
Cheers
The advanced boot menu and the original version bootloader of oneplus 5 is the best for advanced user.
My oneplus 5 is still working (battery is replaced once) but the price of oneplus 10t is very attractive.

That's ColorOS for you. If you really want pure OOS (11 and below), get a 9 pro/8 Pro/8T
I feel your pain. This ColorOS/Oxygen rom totally sucks. But I'm going to keep mine because there is no such specification on the market for this price (Snapdragon 8+ Gen, 16GB RAM, 256GB storage for $650). I hope someone will create custom roms (KOSP, YAAP) in the future.
Bought and used the 10 Pro for about 2 months and sold it.
Bought the Nothing Phone 1 and used it for 1 month....will probably pack it and sell it off soon
Been using the 10T for 3 days......can't comment yet
But overall i'll keep my 9 Pro and as soon as i get pissed with the 10T, i'll just move my sim back to the 9 Pro and i'm good to go.
Suggest you look at the 9 Pro as it's considered a year old device and it's way cheaper compared to when it first launched. Also there are loads of custom ROM for the 9 Pro now.
So i saw several reviewers mention OP10T 's performance is worse compared to other sd 8+ gen 1 phones like IQOO9T etc. Some speculate it's due to OnePlus locking cpu frequencies. Any OP10T owner that runs benchmarks, plays heavy games can comment on this?

It's well-known by this point that OnePlus throttles the SoC since the 888. If you want full performance, you have to toggle performance mode in battery settings. Keep in mind that doing so will have a massive battery penalty as it stops the little cores from down clocking.

Ah gotcha i haven't used a one plus device in 6 years, my 10T will arrive in two days. I'm fine with the battery penalty since if i am gaming i usually have a charger around and that ridiculous charging speed makes up for it. I also have a pelteir cooler if performance mode makes it heat up. Looks like a good custom kernel would go a long for this device.

You have summed this up for me so well. You are not alone. I still consider the 5T to be the best overall phone OnePlus has ever created. At the time, it beat all the flagships for 50% of their price. Easy root and dev friendly. Bulletproof too. Mine still works but my son lost it. It was HEAVY daily use for 5+ years until then.
I moved on to the OP7TP5GMcLaren (after trying the 8 pro and sending it back). It was slightly annoying for bootloader because I had to submit to oneplus to get the unlock code (before they found the bypass) but still worked. No custom roms but it was actually a decent experience and still handles games and dev tasks quite well.
Now I'm holding my 10T and I'm not sure if I should wait or send it back and wait. This fake oxygenOS ain't it. IF I return this phone, I will pick up the Redmi k50 (gaming or ultra) to hold me over. They have good specs at similar pricing but I will take a hit on band coverage. Which might be worth it at this point. I want to at least give this a week but so far, nothing has blown me away. I do like how much it feels like the 5T in hand. But it does not feel as premium as the 7TP/8P. I like the flat screen. I'm trying to love the things I like to be patient.
I don't blame oneplus for all of it, Android in general is still pretty buggy for being on version 12 - but I'm not heading to iOS so I'm here.
I might unlock bootloader, root and just skip otas forever. Breaking Netflix/drm is not ideal.
I will pitch in on OP10T crowdfunding for devs to get their hands on phones to work with
There is a "fast unlock". Seems to work well. Sleep->unlock by fingerprint on the scanner

I tried that but it doesn't help much.
I still didn't return it but I'm about to throw it on the wall every time I tap "close all" in the task manager since it doesn't actually kill all apps but decides by itself that the current app I'm using has to be still opened.
Plus i can't live without notification LED and didn't find a single app that emulates it decently. Only one that does something is "Always on edge" but works randomly and more half the times doesn't work at all
They don't care at lie at any moment.
As someone with a 8T im scared. I don't know what to do anymore, my 8T is fine for now but then what? I don't see any MSM tools for the 10 Pro or the 10T. Go with a pixel? I'm actually just considering a iPhone for the first time since the 3GS. Been with android for over 10 years, i'm tired.
I appreciate the candor of OP @seanwlk , and can agree that the industry has become very hostile to the types of people like us who frequent XDA and mod our phones. I also place at the top of my list the requirement to have an easy unlocked bootloader to root.
That being said, I can't help but sense a little over the top reactions from everyone in the forums as well as YouTubers complaining about OnePlus. Full disclosure I have been using OnePlus since the 3T, but I am not a 1+ employee or shill, and I too was frustrated initially and tried out the Pixel 6 before returning it and coming back to 1+. The alternative besides 1+ and Pixel is the Sony Xperia. But the Xperia is way overpriced and overheats, plus is a hassle to root. But it is a great looking phone, and has expandable storage and a headphone jack.
Reasons I returned to OnePlus and rejected Pixel (caveat: both being equal in terms of bootloader unlock and rooting support)
Gestures. Screen off media controls, flashlight, three finger screenshot, ect....have tried Motorola, Essential, HTC, Sony.....OnePlus does it the best IMO. Didn't realize how much I used these and would miss them
Only Android to have an alert slider (and yes I know the 10T doesn't, but they recently revealed they don't plan on keeping it permanently removed. Dumb move IMO to remove it at all, but at least they will be bring it back). This is a big reason I went with the 10 Pro
Hands down, the best fast charging, both wired and wireless. Didn't realize how much it
Other small tweaks, like the native ability to hide status bar icons, the OnePlus font, layout of settings.
Also, I personally don't understand the hate for the influences of ColorOS. I find the larger UI is easy to press and navigate, especially from the notification shade when out and about in sunlight. I don't mind the "new" OOS. But again, to each their own.

Yes, the placement of fingerprint reader on the 1+9 I agree it's a little lower than I would have liked, but it's not that bad, right? I just decided to get used to it since I couldn't change it. Didn't ever really bother me. And now I use the 10 Pro which is placed higher

Not sure why you mention MSM tools and then immediately suggest Pixel, as it's Tensor chip is Exynos which means no MSM type tool since that is Qualcomm only
What makes you want to go to iPhone?
Also, the Exynos modem in the Pixel 6 was terrible with reception for both WiFi and cellular. Another big reason I returned it besides the ones I mentioned

I tried that. I tried a modified usnf also. I didn't have any success but that really isn't the deal breaker for me anyway. It was lack of msm, fake OxygenOS (which could be remedied in time with real msm for devs), and the general navigation and features of this "OxygenOS". The charging was great. Nothing else stands out enough. Never Settle indeed.
I'm waiting for OnePlus to stop playing their "we emailed the return label" game. It appears to be something that happens to many people when they want to return a phone. The return label never arrives to email and some get harassed into keeping their phone after it misses the return window. I have a few more days left. Each day they say it will arrive within 24 hours
Was looking at it but seen some downsides. I did enjoy the slider but could live without it. The fast charging and battery seem pretty good. but if anyone owns it can you tell me what you think of it
Personally I really like it, I have never used a oneplus phone before, and the UI is smooth. The battery life is pretty great, and I personally have around 50-60% by the time I go to bed, and it usually goes down by 2-3% overnight. The charging is also insane, as I wake up and it charges before im ready to leave for the day. (20-30 mins) furthermore, it handles gaming really well, and it never really overheats. It is great for emulators, even though it throttles performance slightly compared to other s8+ gen 1 phones. The only possible downside that I see is the probability of few/no custom roms. That was a dissapointment but I can live with it, especially if oos 13 releases soon. All of this is just my opinion however, so maybe consider other people's as well. PS: I am not a big camera person, and if you are, you may want to look elsewhere.

For the roms I hope so, but it may be unlikely without proper recovery tools from what I have read. The screen is 1080p but I find it looks good, Id rather have battery from 1080p anyway. It feels responsive usually, however it sometimes limits refresh rate for games, however that can technically be bypassed with root.

you don't even need to root, I'm pretty sure you can download the SetEdit app from the playstore and change the peak refreshrate to force 120hz.
The phone is good. Other than the custom ROMs maybe not being here, overall it's a good phone. At a good price.
This is an excellent performing device running Stock OS!

Oneplus literally spent everything to try to make this the best performing low price phone on the market, so the place they saved the most money is in the camera department. Honestly, I think my Oneplus 7/7T Pro from 2019 takes better photos because it actually has a good 16mp ultrawide and a 12mp telephoto lens, while the 10T has a 8mp ultrawide and a crappy 2mp macro(booooo, NO TELEPHOTO WHYYYY). However, the 50mp main on the 10T can be alright, a bit better than the 48mp main on the 7 Pro. This will be fine for the average user, but if you really want a flagship killer grade camera, this ain't it.

Honestly, I think my Oneplus 7/7T Pro from 2019 takes better photos because it actually has a good 16mp ultrawide and a 12mp telephoto lens, while the 10T has a 8mp ultrawide and a crappy 2mp macro(booooo, NO TELEPHOTO WHYYYY). However, the 50mp main on the 10T can be alright, a bit better than the 48mp main on the 7 Pro. This will be fine for the average user, but if you really want a flagship killer grade camera, this ain't it.

Yeah The 10 Pro is a good option too.
How is Oxygen OS on yours?

I actually bought the Chinese version which means it runs ColorOS 13 (same thing as OxygenOS 13). It's ok ig? I actually kinda want to revert to coloros 12.1 b/c of the APK limitation in Android 13. Otherwise the UI is smooth and interactive, so I'd say its on par with One UI 5.

Are you talking about the APK restriction for sideloaded apps that would want to use the accessibility API? What side loaded apps would you use that would require this access?

Modded apps. Really important for me but probably not for most people.

The phone is good. Other than the custom ROMs maybe not being here, overall it's a good phone. At a good price.

Why do you think the custom roms won't be here? The 10t seems more like the old school oneplus that I remember. Cheaper phone packed with the latest fastest chipset. I thought it would maybe bring some previous oneplus users back.

Apparently the msm tool to recover a soft bricked phone requires a username and password. So if you get in a bad bootloop and can't get back to bootloader, you may not be able to recover on your own. The EDL mode is what msm uses and is almost always going to fix a messed up flash.
Unless that changes, there may not be rom devs to build roms due to that risk. Though who knows what the future holds. It is still early in this devices life.
Depending on how important you find this:
- Camera is average. Unfortunate but not a deal breaker for me
- The alert slider is gone. I'm missing it but no deal breaker either
- The OS is no longer real Oxygen, which was loved by many, but now ColorOS. No true Android experience.
- No wireless charging. Idc about this.
I was planning on getting the Pixel 7, which is better imo. BUT I had a great deal where I got 350 euros off by trading in my old device. Then suddenly it was a no brainer. If you can find a decent deal, I would say the device is worth it. If you would pay full price, I would look into other devices as well. The whole selling point of Oneplus is gone.
That said, I'm loving:
- Battery, mostly the charging speed
- Performance and smoothness
- The 120Hz screen. If you had 120Hz before, you CANNOT go back. It would feel horrible!

Was looking at it but seen some downsides. I did enjoy the slider but could live without it. The fast charging and battery seem pretty good. but if anyone owns it can you tell me what you think of it

So I've used the pixel 6 the pixel for a OnePlus 8 pro the Galaxy S10 and now the OnePlus 10t OnePlus has definitely been the smoothest operating system out of any Android phone I've ever used but this is easily the cheapest and most powerful phone I've ever bought into still cheaper than my OnePlus 8 pro is even though it's the April is a couple years old now and the performance on this thing is insane only downside is reading and modding is very limited at the moment which in time I'm pretty sure will open up more so if you're going for performance and usability I would definitely say It's a Good device if you're going for modding and rooting you should probably go to the pixel phones
Went to T-Mobile yesterday to buy the OP10T, but the store manager talked me into the Pixel 7. Should have gotten the OnePlus. Sharp edges and the fingerprint scanner works half the time. Going too see if they'll waive the restock fee.
