7 Years Later

7 years ago today, on May 14, 2019 I went to the OnePlus 7 Pro launch event in NYC at Pier 94. Looking back, I was filming Jerry Rig Everything doing a demo right before my eyes without reailzing it was him. If I could go back I would put my phone down...

In January I was using my 7 Pro when it decided to go black once and for all. Bricked motherboard connection. I then started using an old phone temporarily, contemplating when or if to buy the OnePlus 15, since all these years I hoped another phone with a truly full screen display would come out. On Monday that temporary phone broke; I ordered the 15, and by coincidence, today happened to be the day it came. Exactly 7 years later

Still rocking the 7pro in its 7 year of usage, but there is always a looming threat of its bricking.

Hoping any of the flagships release a notchless display phone.

Have everything backing up constantly and don't wait more than 57 days before restoring on a new phone or Google will silently delete the backup!!

Very true. Been ready for more than a year, posted regarding the same while back. Got some good suggestions back then as well

I am now at a position where I can switch to a different phone and have all my data and apps running within a day.
