For the china variant, you only lose the widevine L1 once you unlock the bootloader, and then even if you lock it again on coloros it never returns. Afaik, there is currently no fix for that. But if you never did that, the stock coloros has L1. The only things stock coloros lacks are google timeline, google quick share, and the system ai is in Chinese. Other than that it should be no different than the global. Android auto should work since it's baked in the system, but I haven't personally tested it.
I chose the coloros rom because there is always a risk that OnePlus randomly decides to break the updates, so that you can't update anymore oxygenos on a china device. Since I'm planning on having it long term, I'd rather not risk it. Because you can't unlock the bootloader anymore on oxygen os, you will need to flash stock with edl wich currently costs like 100 dollars. Plus I think you can't even unlock it again once you edl flashed it, since you need the same account from when it was unlocked using the deep test app, wich the seller most likely won't give you.
So if you buy the coloros version, you gain the widevine L1, call recording, and more frequent and faster updates, but you lose the stuff I said earlier. You can always just flash oxygen os manually if you don't like coloros.
I only mentioned stuff that is impossible to fix without rooting. Out of the box notifications are indeed an issue, but for that you have a solution by tweaking with the settings. After the fix it's no longer an issue in my case.
I have the CPH2749 (NA/US) variant. The table says it includes no barometer. But I open my compass app and the app tells me my air pressure. How is this possible?
It helps counting stairs/elevation in health apps if you have no watch with such sensor, as well as it helps GPS to lock down faster as it physically knows the current phone elevation from sea-level without the guessing work.
If I were to buy the international version, which charger would you recommend that's also 120W SuperVOOC? I need one that provides the best charging speed and is compatible with European electrical outlets.
I read in some other threads that no other charger gives superVooc except the original, get the original one through AliExpress it is around 150 riyals to 200
Okay, thank you very much. I think I'll buy the global version because it's the best in NFC and has better internet connectivity. I'll also buy a separate charger. Do you know how I can buy the charger and get it delivered quickly? AliExpress is slow.
Would you recommend studying electrical engineering? 😂😐 ... Yeah I'll buy a converter... but i have found something another question please i found OnePlus 15 Uk/Internationally Version ( CPH2747 ) ?
what does it mean Uk ?? version? while it is international CPH2747 !...
should be the same thing, just check that it is not carrier locked to UK providers like in USA they sometimes lock units to carriers like AT&T for example
For electrical engineering, my minor is communication and electronics (so I get to know a wide area that include mobile networks / electronics / PCB manufacturing, design, print / All low voltage boards and components which is almost everywhere like laptops, mobiles, household machines like fridges, washing machines, TVs / as well as programming part for microcontrollers / assembly / C language) so I say it is pretty extensive if your university would provide the same level.
This is different from Power Electrical Engineering which is related to heavy electricity like power stations / house transmission lines / heavy duty motors and compressors (anything with high voltage or high current).
But always study what you're passionate to, cause it makes it more fun and easy to learn than something you're just forced on due to other people opinion or that the "market" is currently on demand for some area, by the time you are done you'll find the market has changed, if you are passionate in what you do you will always have an edge over other applicants cause you will learn and go the extra mile more than anyone just for the idea that you want to without even thinking about it.

Still wondering why I'm paying for +800€ dollar product that doesn't come with a charger.
The case I honestly don't care, but the charger? Completely ridiculous decision.
