> It definitely beats OnePlus.

Vs. a OnePlus 6 it has a smaller screen, worse camera, one fewer sim slot, lacks a headphone jack, half the RAM, a slower processor, no face recognition, and a smaller battery.

In what way is it superior? Just screen resolution?

OnePlus 6 is a year newer. Essential was launched in August 2017, not 2018. Its competitor was OnePlus 5.

I had the original one plus, and liked it. But they blew up their os deal and since then it hasn't been as compelling.

I want pure android without monitoring my behavior - I"m paying for the phone, damnit. I know it's an almost lost cause - that's one reason I like the ph-1.

With the one plus I was always worried about them copying my actions since they are not a pure android, and the danger of a company that is in china. There were some incorrect stories about them sending data to china, but there was at least a legitimate story about sending data there: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/oneplus-data-leak-fix,news-2596...
