I still have my OnePlus 9 Pro, sadly I smashed the screen on day 2. Despite the broken screen it still feels and looks like a more premium device than my Pixel 9 Pro XL in terms of hardware, but the software really went down hill after the switch to the OPPO software.

Now I want rid of the pixel because they destroyed battery life with an update in march they've still not fixed.

pixels are fine, just put graphineOS on there.

only gripes I have are mapping apps are slow to initialize. i don't drive uber tho, so it's not terribly inconvenient

The software is the differentiator these days with all the flagship hardware being basically the same.

I would love to de-Google, but I need my banking apps, tap-to-pay and Android Auto and a top-quality camera that just works flawlessly.

If Graphene can do all of those I'll move, but the friction is high, I have passkeys and apps that have to be "migrated" such as banking apps, and various other stuff that is nigh impossible without a second device.

You get all of that except tap to pay in America. In Europe, you get all of them.

Practically all banking apps are supported, and they have a thorough list so you can check beforehand.

Thanks for that. I just looked up the banking app list and all of my (UK) banks are supported.

What's the alternative to Google Wallet for tap to pay and loyalty cards?

Every single day I miss my slider switch. They kept the notification LED longer than most others too.

My OnePlus 13 has a slider switch. Isn't the 15 the only flagship OnePlus that dropped the slider?

I meant that they're increasingly converging to be Oppo phones (now running the same OS, hardware is a slightly tweaked Oppo phone variant, etc).

The loss of the slider switch still breaks my heart. It is my most loved feature on the phone.

This is written on a OnePlus 13 with a slider running lineage os. Amazing phone.
