One day my Oneplus 6 will stop working. Until then. It does everything I need it to. Lightning fast. Rooted and lightly optimised.

Camera could be faster. My only big complaint.

I'm always shocked that my battery still lasts me all day.

Stopped using my OP6 because the OS was acting up. I'd still be using it if OOS 11 was stable through Google Play updates. Unfortunately, a Play system update caused many OOS 11 devices (like the OP6) to reboot every 30 mins or so.

I still have one, that thing is a beast.

I'm on the same boat for my OP7T

I'm still using my OP7T as well, as a game machine. Unfortunately it gets super hot, to the point of leaving red scorch marks on my hands.:-( It could be the battery deteriorating I suppose, but one day it literally never happened, then the infamous update occurred and now it never not happens - you surely know the one if you've had the device since it came out (the one just after which the cofounder left the company in protest). That update somehow (melting some internal shielding? it got so hot immediately after/during that update that I genuinely thought it might explode!!?!) turned my beautiful phone with the literal best balance of specs for price among all Android phones, into something that I cannot use for more than a few minutes at a time. Tbf the game that I play on it likely has gotten worse over time in how much processing it demands.

But if yours still works... then kudos bc that phone was really something, for its' day and even now.:-)

I have the same problem with my p20 pro, it will not die. Even slightly.
