I bought a OnePlus 3 when it was the cool underdog phone for $450. That was 6 years ago. After 5.5 years the battery started draining faster than usual so I replaced it. The only reason I had to switch phones was because my children chewed and drooled all over it, destroying the volume buttons.

With such a solid phone, I went back to oneplus to get the latest and greatest. So much has changed in this time spam. In their latest phone, they don't even have the alert slider. I reluctantly got the 9 pro.

I still have my OnePlus 3T, my first Android (coming from Windows Phone, RIP). Running Lineage and microg, although all but only a couple of apps are from F-Droid. I haven't seen any need to upgrade yet
