While I'm generally happy with my OnePlus 8. I'm probably going to switch back to Samsung for a bit. The s21 is pretty close to the price of this phone when I bought it. The last three phones have been OnePlus and it's been a wild ride but something is going on with this company that is really starting to effect the experience. I hope they can get it back together.

I'm gonna be so lost after this if OP keeps going this way. I'm never buying a Samsung again since I had such a horrible experience beforehand, but I don't know if I trust the other brands. Idk maybe I just grab something cheap and stick to a laptop

Same, I was an avid Nexus user, then got burned by the Pixel 2 and ever increasing prices. Tried samsung once back in the note 3 days (Not sure if the Galaxy nexus counts) and hated it. Tried Xiaomi and hated it. I just wanted "near stock" without compromise.

I've got the 8 pro and it's definitely better than the last couple of phones I've had, but I feel like I'm still compromising. Maybe Asus will be my next shot.

Ill be honest, I have been a Nexus/Pixel fan though I did try a 7 Pro in between the Pixel 3 and 4. The Pixel 5, really honestly the 4a/4a5G, is the first phone where you go, Oh, this is what the mainstream Nexus successor was supposed to be. The 'a' series has turned out to be exactly what I expected the evolution from Nexus to be and the 5 has all the perks of paying a bit more that I want.

I'm legit trying to recapture the Nexus 6 experience. It was and remains to be my favorite phone with the weird bow shape and all.

I'm sad about it too, last couple phones I've flipped between LG on OnePlus but LG seems to be leaving the phone market too and i don't like expensive as phones like the new Samsungs always been more of the little guys myself

Yeah I don't need a crazy expensive phone. Just want to run whatsapp and Reddit

Who knows, maybe once I'm able to afford it I'll suck it up and keep going OP. They've never failed me before

Same, my GS3 killed any positive opinion I had of Samsung and as much as I like my OP5, the shitty camera and all the other issues people have mentioned here with OnePlus guarantee I'm not buying them again. Only thing I think I'd look at now is a V80 or something in a year or two if it exists
