    Who people actually like OnePlus? I went with a Motorola and I believe get much more value for the money.

    (OnePlus is from China. I tried Xiaomi, also from China, which I have very bad experiences with. No Xiaomi ever for me).

      Motorola is also Chinese lmfao. (Wholly owned by Lenovo)

      But I just spent a couple hours yesterday upgrading my Onplue 5t and 6t to Android 15 w/ LineageOS, so if nothing else I love that they are open enough with their drivers and such that the open source community can build for their phones.

      I’ve been using Samsung mainly for the past few years and I kinda miss being able to root and ROM.

      Edit: Seems like Oneplus got less open since the 9

      I have a Motorola phone, I’m quite happy with it.

      However, there is one main issue I have with some of their models: not using Snapdragon chipsets for less powerful Mediatek (also, this reduces the likelihood of custom ROM support) The 50 Neo for instance is a nice model, but the Mediatek 7300 is less powerful than the Snapdragon 888+ used in the 30 Fusion, release a few years before: https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/qualcomm-snapdragon-875-vs-mediatek-dimensity-7300

        Noted. I also have a older Motorola phone as my main driver.: Moto G73. Which is pretty cheap (under €/$200), and not best the best display. But apart from the display, its a great phone Imo.

        But the newer Motorola Edge 50 Pro does come actually with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor. Granted its not the Snapdragon 8 like the flagship OnePlus comes with.

        But just by comparing the specs and the price, I think you get overall better value for a Motorola. Unless you really want to have the high spec and high price of OnePlus I suppose.

      Ik some people who enjoy OnePlus. My own plan was to get an op13 before I got a killer deal for the p9p. OP skin is pretty good in my experience compared to Xiaomi’s.
