Weekly poll results: the fans rebel against OnePlus' switch to the mainstream

04 April 2021
OnePlus seems to have transformed into a mainstream brand with broad appeal, but the old fans are not happy with this direction.

Sort by:

These phones are ripoff inthe name of hassle blad. OnePlus will die in 6years

    Have been using 1+ 9 for a couple days now. Compared to my Note 10+ 5G, I have to say 1+ dimensions is not ideal. It's too thick and heavy. Note 10+ with the bigger screen is so much easier to hold and use. The Note's SD 855 with 12g rams feels as fast as the oneplus SD888 with 8g rams. The screen on the oneplus auto brightness is tune on the dark side, don't like it. What I do like with oneplus are, fingerprint scanner is superior to Note's. Even when finger is a little wet it'll register. The charging speed with included charger is amazing. There's absolutely no need for overnight charging. I prefer oneplus software to Samsung. The camera on the oneplus is much better than the note 10+. I was never impressed with the note 10+ camera.
    To sum it up, i paid $1200 for the note 10+ when it first came out and yes it's much better built and easier to hold. However after using the oneplus and paying $375 for after trading my 6t I can say I will be keeping it. It's a great phone to use with out a phone case. I'll be keeping mines.

      Apple = mercedes/bmw
      Samsung = Toyota/honda
      Xiaomi, BBK = chinese car

      Why spend more money for chinese product, if u can get Apple/samsung for the same price.

        A lot of people I know my age (35+ years old) have kids, families, house/car mortgagees, etc. The phone is the least important thing for them. Of course, not me, I am a looser without family or kids, lol. And I spend my money on "the pleasures of life", lol.
        But, I know some colleagues of mine from work, that were having iphone 5s or iphone 6 just 1 year ago, because the phones still worked (barely, but they worked). And they said to me they are changing their phones once per 5-6 years, because they have other important things in life. And there are millions of cases like this in the world, I am sure. For this people it doesn't matter what model of phone they have, as long as it still can be used to some degree.

          It's insane that oneplus is trying to showcase themselves as a premium mobile brand rather than being flagship killer phones. They always claim that they provide value for money, but they proved that they are not.
          Why should I buy this mobile in this price segment, instead people can buy iPhone.

                    If this isn’t correct I don’t know what the heck is just get a Samsung Note 10 Lite or any other phone but I would prefer Samsung because OneUI is satisfying and has long software support
