OnePlus...the "poor little startup" that didn't have the money to produce enough phones, so you had to have an invite, to buy one. 🤣

Then, it was found to be nothing more than a knockoff of their parent company, Oppo (BBK).

In the US, the key is carrier availability. Most people can't afford to shell out $1000 for a phone.

I have the OnePlus 13 and love it. But I was getting antsy and had an upgrade available and got the Pixel 10 Pro XL. It seems like such a downgrade. Charging is SLOW, the battery doesn't last nearly as long. Plus, Google puts the fear of God into you to limit charging to 80%, which compounds the problem.

I keep switch back and forth. I'm on the Pixel now because my diabetes monitor isn't compatible with the OnePlus and I kind of need that.

Carrier availability would probably solve that too. Why would the medical device manufacturer waste their time approving a niche phone.

The one thing I am hoping for is that OnePlus will upgrade to level 3 face recognition. Didn't realize how great that feature was until I got the Pixel. I know it won't happen. I guess as long as I can put my phone in the dishwasher I'll be happy.

Serious question - Besides the foldable, who's making anything bigger?

You mean other than because not everyone likes phones with big displays?
