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.
