Partially off topic, but I won't buy OnePlus anymore, because they lock down the bootloader.
I'll similarly stay away from OnePlus as they are basically nothing more than overpriced af "stock-like" clones of Oppo/Vivo at this point.
My 8Pro is the last 1+ I'll own. Looking longingly at Nothing Phone next year I think, but this phone has been wonky last few days. Keyboards not working, apps not working correctly (and are updated). Could technwbe because I'm still on Android 11, but the 1+ track record for stable Android releases isn't great either.
I also got the 8 pro a while ago, it was such a shame watching their UI get uglier and uglier over time. I loved the warp charge feature
I just last week updated from A11 to A13, I do not enjoy it. I did it because some functionality was getting weird; Bluetooth dropping from Android Auto repeatedly, SwiftKey keyboard not working with some apps, weird app responses and delays.
Some of the issues resolved, new ones cropped up. I'm getting more and more frustrated with it.
oneplus isn't stock like anymore
but they are competitive again with the 11
In newer versions it's entirely blocked. I've unlocked OnePlus 6 and it was quite easy, because there were no updates for Android 12. On OnePlus 7 it was a different situation I needed to downgrade first to be able to unlock the bootloader. And it only works with vendor tools in a special service mode. These tools are not provided for new phones anymore as far as I know. And I mean, what do you want to downgrade to when Android 12 bootloader stock image is locked.
