I bought a second hand one from 2021 with jack connector, micro SD support and dozens of custom ROMs. New phones aren't worth it anymore.
Forget about unlocking the bootloader in these recent models
I wish OnePlus was still innovative. Their popup cam on the OP7T Pro (I think it was that one) was sick but I couldn't get it because I just bought a phone that year.
They used to be really cool.
I might be interested if they hadn't ditched the open platform aspect of their phones. Now they're hardly any different from any of the other brands.
No.
I'd be more impressed if it were running linux or some degoogled ROM.
Why? Like, I love the upgrades to my stuff as much as the next, but who needs that refresh rate on a phone? I'd much rather go with the extra battery life and stick to 90, which itself is already really smooth. On computer screens I understand the need and I use 144hz displays, but on a phone?
I love my OP15, I've had basically every phone, android, apple, folding, ect. The OP15 is utterly ridiculous, it's so fast I don't feel like I'm waiting for it. Also it's the first phone I didn't even want to change the launcher, it's crazy fast, fluid, and customizable. Samsung had a ton of features but I never use them, the OP has a lot of features too, but they make practical sense.

listen I'm just gonna put this out there. i still am using a oneplus 8t and it is fantastic and I have zero plans of upgrading anytime soon. it runs everything I need it to with zero hiccups. even emulators run beautifully.
i highly recommend looking at older models as they're extremely feature rich and much less expensive than these new flagships they keep putting out.
oneplus was meant to be one of the "flagship killer" type companies and now its just as annoying and pricey as the rest. I'd suggest looking at older models if you're dead set on Oneplus, or I'd suggest something like fairphone.
