OnePlus Open review: Should you buy it? - Android Authority

The 6 was a beautiful phone, and IMO their last good phone. It lasted me up until this year, and to be honest, my new Pixel is missing features that I love from OP, like the screen gestures for skipping songs.

I wouldn't trust them with another purchase again, though. I loved the 1 and 6, but never again.

It's basically an OPPO clone now. Oxygen OS is effectively ColorOS re-marketed. Unless you're chill with Chinese phones and software I would stay far far away.

Even back then OnePlus was sketch as hell. Remember their "ladies, take a pretty selfie and win an OnePlus" campaign?

The great Iphonization of the OS is my main issue.

It was supposed to be classic Android with a few extra features on top of it.

I had a OnePlus 3 and a OnePlus 7t I know I will not continue on OP.

I was buying this brand mostly for the vanilla like android. These days are over.

I'll give FairPhone a go I think for the next device.
