I purchased the OnePlus 17 over the holidays, and hate it. It's so full of AI bloatware I actually purchased a third party camera app just so that my photos won't be heavily AI manipulated. It's so bad, that I have actually been considering converting back to iPhone. The last iPhone I owned was the 4.

This is pretty sad. Oneplus phones, tablets, and watches have like double the battery of samsung / apple, at 1/3rd of the cost. Hopefully OPPO will make another branding for europe at least, because the EU still does allow chinese smartphones to be sold there. The US can just isolate itself and force its people to buy $1500 smartphones.

Xiaomi, vivo, and oppo(oneplus's parent company) are growing pretty rapidly in market share at least.

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

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
