Isn't it a general issue if you have parts that are (significantly) colder than the surrounding air, no matter the material? If you turn on the peltir element and it reaches a temperature of X degrees on the cold side and the air around it has a temperature of X + Y, the air is chilled by Y and will thereby lower its ability to retain the moisture and form little droplets on the surface. The higher Y and the higher the relative moisture, the higher the effect.

I suppose it would depend on if you design for that. For example, this board could be coated in epoxy to remove that risk. That would be preybad for repairability though

So far I thought that peltir should not be used to cool down electronics as it may lead to condensation and thus damage the components.

Nothing didn't take their place. The Nothing design and the Oneplus design have been different.

I want more folks to experience long 🔋 life. Oneplus 15 won the best 🔋 life award – @mkbhd. The Europeans and the North Americans have 1 less choice with this news. Will Oneplus 16 have a global version? Those not living in China can buy the Chinese version. But the 🇨🇳 version will have some cons for those not living in 🇨🇳. examples – Oneplus 15 🇨🇳 version doesn't have Gemini baked in (can be installed by the user) and esim support

You either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain, somehow they died the villain and Nothing had taken their place.

Why does this keep happening to me? First OnePlus, then Polestar. If a third brand I like shutters, then it's not just a coincidence.

I was under the impression that OnePlus was starting to wind down its operations, so I'm kind of surprised by the new product announcements we're getting now

I never felt like OnePlus deserved "Never settle." It seemed like there was always a concession. Just like "Don't be evil" with Google. It's a slogan. It's not something they live by.

IMO no phone manufacturer ever promised an update window and then delivered on it. What makes Apple so different is not that they promised 5-7 years of updates. They never actually promised any updates. Apple treats the iPhone like the Mac. They support it until they can't, though we might not always agree with them as to when they need to stop. Still, they don't care what country you're in or what carrier you're on: everyone is offered the update on the same day. Too many Android OEMs penalise you for living in a country the OEM doesn't like, or being on a better carrier. And they may make up excuses as to why they prioritise some users over others, at the end of the day, the consumer loses, and Apple has always done this better. Not because they're trying to be better about it, but because they just have a better mindset about it.

Apple used to run a stealth campaign (they didn't advertise it) where if you asked Siri, "what is the best iPhone" (or smartphone), it would tell you, "the one you have." Or "the one in your hand," I forget which. The message was subtle but it made sense. Any iPhone was the right iPhone. The only mistake you could really make was not getting enough storage. These days, though, you can plug an external SSD or hard drive, or flash drive, or dock with multiple, right into an iPhone and it just works. People don't realise, iOS isn't really an OS unto itself. It's just another skin of macOS. Steve Jobs wasn't lying when he held up the iPhone and said "this will run OS X." Sure, you can't do a lot of Mac stuff on one, but at the core, it's the same code. Which is also based on UNIX — macOS/iOS is more alike to Linux/Android than either is to Windows. (Even Windows runs some Linux stuff these days.) But anyway, that's what every Android OEM misses. They need to start treating their phones like computers. No bad options, and they all get updated at the same time.

(Disclosure of bias: Primarily an Apple guy, my main EDC is an iPhone 16 Pro Max. I also have a Galaxy S10, it's a hand-me-down, but it runs, I have it heavily customised, and I love a few things about it more than my iPhone. I have never had a OnePlus phone. I've also used computers running macOS (legitimately, i.e. on a Mac), Windows, and Linux, for over 30 years.)

To me OnePlus died when they strayed from their original methodology. I got the OnePlus One because it felt like a very pro-consumer phone. The phone itself was more or less on-par with flagships at the time, but because of the way they marketed and sold it, it was available at a really affordable pricepoint. The OS itself was CyanogenMod (later forked into a project calling itself LineageOS), and things were unlocked for tinkerers to plod around with.

I used this phone up until about 2020, where it wasn't functional enough anymore and I replaced it. At the time, no Android phone around would be supported by the manufacturer for that long. I hated changing phones. I settled for a refurbished iPhone XS because Apple did offer first-party support for 6-7 years, and then security patches past that.

That was the whole origin of the "flagship killer" idea. A smaller company pushed a phone that could stand toe to toe with Samsung and Apple in terms of specs, showing that when you buy these other phones, you're not really paying for hardware, it's all the faff around it.

OnePlus ditched that really fast, however.

Bought a Pixel 10. If I care about you at all, please be very wary about investing any time or money in any OnePlus product.

I'd be interested in your justification for saying it's a "pretty insane claim to make," because it doesn't seem in the least bit far-fetched to me. OnePlus makes good products, but that's not enough in a business world that practically prides itself upon not playing fairly.

ETA: 1+ also shot themselves in the foot by becoming the very "bad guy corporation" they established themselves as being against - the latest evidence for which is here. The last OnePlus device I bought was the 7 Pro due to this crap.

So this is a clickbaity headline -- it isn't happening tomorrow, but it's a (as of now speculative) movement in progress based on investigation and reports by several analysis and marketing firms, and market trends.

I don't editorialise headlines ever but this is a pretty insane claim to make so I did just this once and posted it as Android Headlines has gotten things right in the past. I would suggest reading the article to form your own opinion.

Wake me if the bootloader is unlockable. I've been rocking OnePlus for years but haven't upgraded since the 7T Pro 'cuz of locked bootloaders.

Yeah. I bought the OP13 partially because it didn't push AI as hard as other devices. I still miss my three finger up to split screen gesture.

No SD card :-/

Does it have any new ai?

I'd be more excited if they stopped pushing AI garbage.

and here I was thinking OnePlus were the best Android phones

165hz. Saved you a click.

Lfg

Lol, $30.

Or,hwar me out, a multi-end cable for $9?

I had a Samsung before I got my first OP and absolutely hated it. Ended up giving it away to a coworker who broke their phone.

Ever since then I've had the OP5, OP9, & OP13 now. First two lasted 4 years each and still worked decent at the end. Hoping this one will do the same and then I'll get the OP17

I haven't, no.

I've personally owned OP1, OP2, OP3, and OP6. stupidly went Samsung because it has 3.5mm when I should have stuck with OPnord or whatever that model was

I hate everything about this Samsung garbage. really wish I went OnePlus again. I loved my screen gestures and QOL that OP had, heck even the USBA cable was reversible.

Have you seen Chinese phones in general? They are huge on convenience nowadays.
