OnePlus 8 - a few questions as a new owner - Page 3

yeah, it's kinda sad to see where they're heading. I still like my 8 Pro but i'm not so sure what i'll get after that one. Won't be another OnePlus if they don't change something. Such a shame, they started so awesome, but kinda lost their way over the years

You guys are making this vanilla OP8 user sad. Where to from here?

dunno to be honest. But as long as you enjoy your phone there's no real need to get something else. I'm still amazed by the quality of the pictures you can snap with the nightmode. Really impressive.

I am likely going to go with the Pixel when I replace this 8T, which may happen sooner rather than later. I'm just glad it's not only me noticing the poor direction OnePlus is heading - so unfortunate, I really enjoyed their products. I was going to purchase the OnePlus Watch, but I'm out of the market for that now since I'll probably be jumping ship on OnePlus with my next phone.

I liked the Watch, but the screen being Gorilla Glass just makes it not durable enough. Mine is scratched to hell. Just replaced it with a Huawei Watch GT2 Pro with sapphire screen, and it is fantastic. Picked this one largely based on dimensions, since it's very similar to the OnePlus Watch.

I got those deep scratches within days of getting the watch, didn't even do anything particularly egregious.

I'm kinda glad the actual face of the watch on my Galaxy Watch 4 is recessed. Preventing that sorta wear n' tear. I also forgot I left the plastic covering on the glass till a couple days ago. Opting to leave it on as it feels like a better idea to protect it.

My 8T is doing weird ****. I can't seem to swipe up to go to the home page anymore. 8/10 times it doesn't see it as an up swipe and rather just me scrolling. Really annoying ..

No clue what I would buy to replace it, though..

Silent-Runner · May 16, 2022, 12:51 AM

well, get the Pixel then and report back how you like it

**Nunz** · May 16, 2022, 10:42 AM

I smacked the **** out of the phone, restarted it for the 99th time, and now it's acting normal again.. weird

Silent-Runner · May 16, 2022, 12:15 PM

that's one way to "repair" it, i guess

Bought my first Oneplus phone (Oneplus 9) since I got it for a decent deal. So far, I like it. Had to upgrade from my previous phone since things were...weird on it. Apps would randomly close (listening to Pandora or a podcast in car then it would just turn off after so many minutes), the keyboard was highly inaccurate which lead to typos all the time, phone had some kind of weird lag if I typed a message longer than a paragraph, and I couldn't send text messages to anybody new on my contact list until they sent me a text first...

Yeah, was time for a change.
