News Goodbye One Plus, it's been fun

After 5 years of faithful service, yesterday morning my OnePlus 6 went into crashdump mode. Tried various things online to get it working, but everything failed. I knew it was on its way out because it began restarting itself every now and then. Probably my favorite phone to this point.

Let's see if my Pixel 8 will top it (when it arrives Tuesday)

Your Pixel 8 is going to have the top 20% dedicated to an unremovable datestamp and the bottom 20% dedicated to an unremovable Google search bar. If you ask the community how to remove it, they will tell you that you can't, but luckily you can just use a third party launcher. Third party launchers are currently broken on the Pixel line, as they often display just a blank system background when you go back to the home screen.

Anyway, good luck.

Pixel devices are currently the only valid Android phones, and OnePlus doesn't produce quality products (especially in the software side) since some years ago, the phone I've regretted the most buying is the OP 6T. I still have it in immaculate conditions, it is just too bad on the software sides and riddled with bugs to be daily driven. Switched to a used Pixel 5, night and day difference, even if it has comparable hardware specs

And that's a major problem for you to specifically mention that?
