I’ve been using OnePlus for years now and I’m considering getting a Pixel phone next since I love their UI and design. I was wondering if someone else here has also made the jump from the OnePlus to the Pixel family and if you can tell me what you like and what you may or may not miss.

Any reply is appreciated!

    I bought OP 9pro just after launch and liked it until OP was taken over by Oppo and they switched to ColorOS. Most of the software bugs including some serious ones were still there when software support ran out.

    So far I really like the Pixel 10 and have only found minor irritations, for instance there’s no way to disable the Google search bar in the stock Pixel launcher. Some of the other UI changes aren’t ideal, but overall it is a far nicer experience than OP provided even when new. The performance is fine, as is the battery life (not a gamer though.) Best of all, unlike OP’s products Pixels be used with any carrier instead of OP’s carrier specific hardware.

    Bottom line - there isn’t a single thing I miss about my OP phone.

      Are they still doing that? FFS.

      It’s one of the main reasons I’ve immediately added an alternate launcher on both Pixels I’ve had (P2P and P6P). It’s just so ugly to have it there all the time.
