      potato4k, 10 Jan 2025Jokes on you, OnePlus is not cheaper. If you still want to ... moreI don't know what exactly is worse there in your opinion.
      You can install the software yourself, just the way you want, and the hardware is better than the competition an additional advantage is that this phone costs 760~eur in Chinese distribution, so it is worth ordering it from there, bypassing the middleman

        potato4k, 10 Jan 2025Jokes on you, OnePlus is not cheaper. If you still want to ... moreBro it is cheaper.
        Paying 800 eur for Oneplus 13 is far better deal than anything else. Dont know where you shop for 1000 but you should be adult enough to know every vendor have different pricing.
        By the way all phones are china made so by your logic all phones are inferior even Apple or Samsung. In dase of Apple only OS scream i am not china made.
        In case of Samsung most of the parts comes from china the assembly is taken in Vietnam or Korea which still can be considerent chinese because its asian market or ground soil etc.
        Oneplus 13 have best of the best. new best screen by Boe super fast charging new type of battieres and many else but feel free to pay for a stone age tech 2000 euros.
        If you love so much brands which are well known for heavy overpricing feel free to toss your money out of window for something like that.

        with this logic i can buy two 16/512GB Oneplus 13 devices for a price of one S25 Ultra 1TB.
        Apart the less disk space 512 vs 1TB i get everything else at least same if not better.
        You should know that all others would know that just ddont understand why defending inferior brands which loves overpricing everything.

            If they willing to give 4 years of updates and 6 years of security they must know their devices can easily last 4-6 years without any major issues.

And if the company wants to go out of their way then sure they can fix critical security flaws till 8 years. But it doesn't matter, people will already have a new tablet within 5 years time. I know I will also after 5 years.

The only thing high quality in a phone is the processor, Apple or Snapdragon be it. No company will go out and try to give you better components. Literally making iPhone 16 Pro Max costs them around 400 dollars and this is still high, if they wouldn't buy from Samsung the OLED screen, it would be like 250 dollars.

                  I have a 6T still running well and after 6 years would be great to still get updates. So this is good, don't understand why people complain for getting more. It's dumb.

                  Definitely a decision making feature when buying my next phone.

                    Hey, simping on OnePlus in this forum won’t net you a cruise like those YouTubers.

                      To the people who say 7 years of OS updates is overkill, I do not agree.
                      I think at least 4 years is necessary and any more will certainly be welcomed.
                      I remember when i had the Samsung galaxy S4, i prayed for new official software after 3 4 years which i didn't get. And then i came across the beauty of custom roms (and bricked my nephew's note 2)

                        potato4k, 08 Jan 2025Eh, if it were $600 - 700, sure. But they're charging ... moreBro if you think samsung and apple uses better components then you are tottaly wrong.
                        Samsung famous banana shape blur on most photos or green line on screen proves their quality is sicks.
                        Same can be said for apple for many various reasons mostly the battery saver switch which is always on since new device. And tons of other apple prebulescent issues.

                          Anonymous, 08 Jan 2025What a deal breaker. Any flagship phone with fewer than ... moreAnd why.
                          Any manufacturer who dont plan to add equal warranty to years of updates is bad manufactuurer and in other words dont trust its own devices.
                          If Kia can give 7 years of complete warranty for its cars phones can have 7 years of warranty too. No company should be scared of their own technology.

                            Anonymous, 08 Jan 2025S20 ? I have even seen people using older S10 or iPhone ... moreKnow at least 1 person who have J3 2015 by samsung and galaxy young first generation. Also know person who have redmi 4A and another one with Lenovo A7010.

                              Even 2 are more than enough, Because no company or manufacturer does not gives more years of warranty more updates not needed after 2 years if device breaks for some reason and repair will be very costly better to buy new device.

                              So unless a company wont give equal warranty in years to years of updates said 2 years of updates are more than enough because if anything happens its cheaper to buy new than fix old. Components regardless of brand gets exhausted and tired soon or later and fixing have no sense because most repairs especially the screen or case your phone gets water damage cost as much as new phone.

                                Firstly ,4 years of updates is already more than enough.
                                Secondly ,some people are skeptical about downloading software updates in order to avoid bugs ,crashing or app compatibility issues (the "why fix it if it ain't broke "approach)
                                Thirdly,not having the latest software does not make the phone useless ,i mean ,tell me any app or game that runs only on Android 13 and above?

I Still remember where you could still run old apps on the latest android version. But after android 11. I can't even play the games that I wanted. Worst part? It keeps crashing. Now that android 15 update is fast approaching. I'm thinking if I should stay on android 14.

Phone that still have ongoing software support retain more value than a phone which has reached EOL. Thinking must be so hard for you guys else why are so many people thinking one dimensionally?
