    I’m happy with OnePlus. Will never touch an Apple device, they are so unintuitive and locked down. If android follows that trend, I’d rather have no phone.

      My main phone is still my OnePlus 6 (after being a proud user of the OnePlus 1), and after a battery replacement it’s still working extremely well. Sadly, they have regressed over the years, and seem to just rip off whatever Apple does, so I can’t support any phones after the 6.

      I’ve had bad experiences with Google (outside of phones) and Samsung in the past, so hesitant to support them. Being an Android user often feels like being surrounded by manufacturers that could create a top-class phone that ticks most people’s boxes, with history of doing just that - but for some reason choosing not to. Asus, Nokia, Sony, hell even Microsoft could probably easily build a phone with great features, a near-stock experience, and robust hardware, but the Android market is a choice in picking a flaw you can live with.

      For all Apple’s faults, their users rarely are left wanting for more, and the incremental “improvements” still seem to have fans happily wanting to buy the latest tat. Android users, in comparison, expect more, and always end up disappointed.
