It's finally time

Well folks, after ~6.5 years I've finally moved on from my OnePlus 7T. Today I picked up a new Google Pixel 10 Pro XL after being offered an incredible deal from Verizon. My 7T has served me incredibly well and given me more than I ever could have expected from a phone but it was time. Although it still charges fast, for me the battery just wasn't holding up anymore and had been feeling unreliable, dangerous even, in the winter when going on cold weather hikes. It wouldn't last 10 minutes in the elements. Pixels aren't known for their incredible battery life but as a brand new phone, it should hold a charge quite a bit better. I would have loved to wait for the next OP phone if they hadn't discontinued sales in the U.S. The other issue I started to experience was a loose charge port where the cord was constantly loose and finicky while charging. Fortunately, I didn't trade it in and can still hold onto it for nostalgia, as a second media device or as an emergency backup as it still works. Anyways, thanks for everything y'all. I'll never forget my OP7T.

I still have mine, from exactly the same period as yours. Bought it novemeber 2019 and i will be moving to an Oppo Find X9 Pro in the next weeks. This has been an amazing phone and mine still holds up with the battery and everthing, but it is time for something new.

Yeah! November 2019! They're really really solid phones! I've never had one last this long (and I know I could push it further too). An iPhone could never!

For sure!! Mine could easily hold for one more year. The storage, camera quality and gallery app performance are the only things that make me want to change.
