After a few years of using oneplus, even the new OxygenOS (now actually ColorOS) seems very smooth to me. The animations are slower, but they look good. And they can be sped up at any time in the developer settings.

    The only problem with 16gb ram is that it can handle having so many apps open in the background that it can greatly affect battery drain if apps are not closed.

      I dont see any comment in the review about the smoothness and performance of the software which to my opinion is really poor. Great device but Oxygen 14 looks slow to me with poor responsiveness. High end chipset and 16 giga ram are useless if software is crap

You still see several issues reported by users since Android 12. The oxygen launcher once upon a time was the best in the market and has become really heavy with bloatware and bugs. Users report same to 1+ but constantly ignored.

          dbizzle, 13 Feb 2024Yes, you can swap lenses when recording in 4K30 and under. ... moreThe regular Oppo Find x7 allows you to switch between all rear lenses at 4k60fps so would be surprising if the ultra can't do this

            To be honest I prefer a smaller flat screen.

                  Why such a HUGE curved display? Also can the user switch lenses DURING video recording?

                    Please tell me I can answer a WhatsApp phone call with bluetooth buds now.

                      This makes a lot of sense, but it's a bit unfortunate that
                      1) it's enabled by default, 12Gs should be plenty.
                      2) the OS should prioritize hardware memory over virtual memory, specially for foreground apps.
                      That being said, I feel like for me, I can just disable it and be confident now, thanks again:)

                        Fisherman, 08 Feb 2024Yeah they definitely seemed to have rushed this review out.... moreI'm confused about master mode, I though "original photo mode" had Hasselblad tuning
                        but they released Master which I quote "The Master Mode features Hasselblad color tuning to enhance the photos with natural and vibrant colors" .
                        It would mean photo mode is OP tuning and Master Mode is Hasselblad's?
                        What does vignette do?

                            The last paragraph about an Iphone 15 plus costing the same in the US is terribly misleading. An Iphone 15 plus starts at $899 for the 128gb model, if you want equivalent storage (although maybe extreme) or just a step up from that you're right at $999-$1199. Not apples to apples at all.

                                  I think I figured out the low geekbench scores.

                                  Oneplus turns on Ram Expander by default. Straight out of the box, it is set at 4GB of extra-slow memory.

                                  Turn off Ram Expander (it's hidden under the "about phone" menu for some reason... thanks OnePlus...), turn on Performance Mode, and the scores go back to normal. ~2250 Single core and ~6800 multicore
