I bought a OP 9Pro just before Oppo decimated the company. They moved from Oxygen OS to a poorly camouflaged version of Oppo Color OS and stripped out some of the features that made Oneplus what it was. Even more of an issue: Oppo almost completely stopped fixing bugs, even some really serious ones that had been long documented.
It seems to me that the only reason Oppo would do is to preserve the revenue they get from selling customer data that should remain private. Otherwise what would Oppo care what OS people run on their hardware?

Hi, could you share what phone you bought? I’m looking for a replacement in the near future and I want to get a headstart on the research.

Bought a Pixel 10. I’d give a B review, primarily because Google uses their customers as beta testers. The hardware is nice overall, but Android 16 needs work. As is typical for Google they knowingly released a product with lots of bugs for their customers to find.
What Google does do right is carrier compatibility. Just like the Iphone, Pixels can be used at any U.S. carrier and everything works
