Fully agree. I still have my 7T Pro, and I’m not looking forward to upgrading it when I have to! I loved when it was a simple upgrade on base android, but with the newer versions, it has veered away from that. I’m disappointed with the updates - I haven’t done the latest update as lots of people are complaining that it’s very buggy, and it doesn’t look like they are going to update it again.

I don’t think I’d go for a OnePlus again - I’d probably go with something more stock, with hopefully more reliable updates, like a Pixel.

I have a OnePlus 7T Pro, and I love the pop-up front camera. I don’t have an annoying notch or hole in the screen, and the screen is the full height of the phone. I’ve never had any issues with reliability.

They only used it on the 7 range, and moved to a hole punch camera for subsequent models. I’m holding out as long as I can before upgrading phones because of it.
