It is possible to outgrow your original intentions.
OnePlus and enthusiast brands vs their inevitable change...
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

Still rocking my OP6
Sad to say i will leave the one plus family after 6 years having their phones.I started with the oneplus one, and stop at oneplus 7T pro wich is my currently phone.But with their prices sky rocketing and other companies offering better hardware at almost the same price its smart to go on the xiaomi side.Very sad that they are not the flagships killer anymore for the last 2-3 years now.Will wait to see the one plus 9, but the prices will be very high and its better to go with xiaomi for that money. :(
Watching in 2160p
still running on 3T
Loved this kinda content ✌️
7:23 that's right boys and girls listen and stop being blind followers
Are you using Garuda-dragonized? Your wallpaper is following similar scheme.
Idk bro I agree with the whole nord thing, that shit is bunk, but people forget about the Oneplus 8T 5G ---- its a powerhouse trust me
I have a 7 pro because I liked the full screen display with no bezels, I've had it for a couple years and have no complaints but the new models have nothing appealing to me like the 7 pros quirky motor camera did
Huawei and Xiaomi all the way
Heres my list of mobile phones ive ever had (and still have in working order) Nokia 3310 Nokia E71 iPhone 4s One+ 6T (Mclaren)
Love your videos and your knowledge. Ty
When people ask about my phone. "Is that a new Iphone?" No, I its a android phone. "Is it a Samsung?" No, Its a Oneplus. "....Is that a samsung?"......... Yes..... its a samsung.........
so relatable
This is so disturbing to see how MKBHD started his channel with moto of non biased tech guy now he has become on of them i mean it's so disturbing he never talk about how apple and samsung prices are going gaga reaching new heights day by day specially apple i mean i'm indian in 1.5 lakhs i can buy great bike to drive for myself but no apple say we are gonna be like that and then here's come mkbhd saying about oneplus that they are rebranding same phones every year i will say what apple is doing ? So what you will choose conpany like oneplus or apple ? I'm not saying that oneplus is good but i'm saying why this biased behaviour for company like one plus and others who are atlest listening to thier customer if not 100% then 50% atleast So MKBHD don't be a fanboy of apple .
I bought my OnePlus One at launch- was lucky enough to get an invite early. I have really only loved two phones I have ever owned (and I always have two phones-- one iPhone and one Android), and the OnePlus One was one of them (the other was the original Palm Pre). I have enjoyed my other OnePlus phones, and I have the odd numbers: OP 3, OP 5, and the OP 7 Pro. All of them really good phones; in fact, I love the pop-up selfie camera on the OP 7, but I totally get what Marques is saying here, and I'm a little wary about the direction OnePlus is taking. I am really lukewarm on the 8 series, so I am hoping the 9 is something exciting, but if not, it might be time to move on. I'm not sure where I'd go, because I'm not sure who is really doing anything exciting in the Android phone space these days.
When one plus exploded into the market it did it by producing stripped down phones with few features, that gave a great product at a great price. And reviewers/ enthusiasts like you started saying " it's a great phone....but what about wireless charging ?...what about making it waterproof ?". Etc Etc... So One Plus started adding these features...and guess what ?... It's price went up. So reviewers/ fan boys are now saying " Why so expensive ? " "It's gone up in price..." It's damn annoying. I've owned 2 OPs and really liked them... I didn't and don't care about wireless charging or being able to go swimming with my phone. I want what OP started out as.... a great value phone that does a few basic things brilliantly at a great price. Go back to your roots.
I've only bought one phone, the oneplus one, on your recommendation. Its still my primary phone
TechAltar🔥🔥🙏
Using Garuda there eh?
Kinda have to disagree. They always have taken in mind the whole flagship killing thing. But phones got better, so they need better equipment. Obviously the pro is just high-end with the regular and T models not far behind it. Fortunately, the noticed how people wanted a real flagship killer. That's why we got the nord device. Keep in mind: it's not some sweet asian guy who just wants everyone to have cheap phones. So that's why they do more marketing now and also upped their prices. I mean be fair, of u were CEO of OP u wanted money as well. All this said. I couldn't care less wich price or product their releasing. I'm buying it cuz I'm a big oneplus simp Except for the 6t. F that weird washing machine abomination.
Why are you disappointed? One Plus is a China Phone it is expected RealMe is already beating One Plus since it entered the market 🤣 One Plus ain't Samsung nor Apple it needs to fight it fellow sub brand to retain subsidiary statud with BBK or else it dies. One plus entering the budget-mid range market is inevitable.
6:44 its an oldie but a gay? wut?
You mean there are people out there buying "anything" a certain company puts out ??? Who could those be? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
dope
Never got my invite for the first one and then I bought an iPhone
"Don't be a fan of the company and be a fan of the product instead." Great takeaway!
Good Review
I learned my lesson since op 5 then op7 pro disappoints me due to software issue now will be switching to apple soon hahhhah
4:50 Pffttt the dusting of the phone LOL
I love 1plus.
one word "apple"
I was about to recommended the Tech Altar Video, but then he mentioned it.
Just waiting for the next OnePlus One or Essential Phone. OnePlus lost me when they went full aluminium with the 3.
Hello! I am new with oneplus, I just acquired the oneplus nord n10. My previous phone was google pixel 3a. Is this a better upgrade or should I just stay with my pixel?
I love this video! Great video and well put. Thank you.
The point is as an enthusiast, you can’t expect ANY company that is enthusiast focused to sustain it self in the long run, because enthusiasts are probably less than 1% of total sales. Sales are what keep EVERY. SINGLE. BUSINESS. well... in business. It’s not what YOU want, it’s what does EVERYONE want as a whole that keeps things moving along. This is why Apple and Samsung are such strong players in this market. It’s also why Essential failed, as great as they were, and when someone would ask what phone I had, they had NEVER heard of the company.
would you say you like oneplus better than oppo? or are they just the exact same phone with different branding? (question open to everyone I want to hear your opinions)
My first "real" smartphone, and was sold from the get-go... then they got rid of the aux jack 2 phones is all they'll sell me for awhile
What does he mean by enthusiast
Somone who is interested in tech/smartphones
I've actually had both an oppo (Find 7) and now currently have a OnePlus 7 pro. I do genuinely love the brands and their products, and genuinely can't wait for the 9 pro launch. I've always been a fan of specs more than name and always enjoy looking for the phones no one really knows of but are "flagship killers" Great vid as always though
I bought the Nord last year and only few weeks later One+ changed their support strategy for the OS - so finally I sorted out One+... I'm done with it!
Great vid!
I really like my 5T but the battery life is going. The 5T was the best bang for its buck of its time, what would be the best bang for the buck nowadays?
You never go back once you get a OnePlus. Even their "budget" phones nowadays are still ridiculously good.
The entire nord lineup is dogshit compared to redmi and poco
Im still using my One+1 with LineageOS. The hardware is plenty fast for my needs. It was indeed a flagship killer for it's time. But as they slowly released more phones the price creep has made them look less and less attractive as a viable upgrade.
The lyrical connection sequentially remove because great-grandfather intrinsically increase a a wise pickle. swanky, vivacious millennium
And i am here watching this Video on my pre-owned oneplus 3T Just having bought a Used 5T 😉
Watching this on my 5T . I can honestly say, that i see no reason to replace it. It replaced HTC One M8 and still holds battery charge very well and only got charging jack replaced. Which was super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Honestly I'm just disappointed that OS updates have slowed down quite a bit. Moved into 1+ in hopes of getting snappy OS updates, but even that much was a bit too much to ask.
Me on my one plus nord n10 5g 👀
3:21 3:25 So this is where you stash away all your smartphones. Now I know where to head to when I'm in your office.
i just want a headphone jack man...
Hell yes
OnePlus is a brand of BBK Electronics Corporation. Other BBK brands are Oppo, Vivo, Realme, iQOO. So money spent on OnePlus and Oppo go to the same place and BBK is #2 mobile seller in the world behind Samsung. You can drop the OnePlus brand you are no longer happy with, and move to Oppo brand and still be buying from BBK. For me, I just see all the Chinese brands as mercantilist, CCP phones built by quasi slave labor. I go with LG who takes pride in building mostly in S Korea (although they have moved some fabs to Vietnam, Malaysia etc)
word
Redmi Note series! This series barely fails!! One or two series...but jumps right back on! Value for money and goes toe to toe with Upper Mid Range... Also, Mi Flagship! Those beasts come for below ₹700
I started with my 6t and after years with it, I finally thought I would get another phone. I tried some other phone and lasted 1 day with some LG that was featureless compared to a 3-year-old 6t. No face ID was a huge deal and it was slow as molasses. I ended up getting an 8 pro and tbh, it is not a crazy upgrade. I could have saved myself $$$ and stuck with the 6t. The greatest improvement is the larger better screen. I honestly would not be able to live without the faceid and fingerprint scan that was amazing in the 6t and way ahead of its times. The charging with the warp charging was amazing for its day.
The forgetful latex ultrastructually crawl because mouth precisely hang sans a hideous high snowstorm. entertaining, marked grade
you have so many phones. lol may i have one. lol

When he opened up that cabinet... weird flex but okay
This is partially true considering they abandoned all their key principles, which wasn't necessary
I have a OnePlus 7 Pro and love it. When I'm asked what phone I have, I say "OnePlus 7 Pro". 8 out of 10 times the response I get is "Is that a Samsung?".
Loved the video
Me watching this on my 1+6 still recommending this phone to everybody after having it for +2 years: 🥺
Still rocking the 1+3, 5 years strong
Same!!!. One + 6T. Got me stuck with this brand for ever. Let's see when I stop being an enthusiast.
@Juul Schepers I use it to play competitive pubgm and face frame drops quite a lot.
@awesome awesome why?
I m using 6t . It's trash. -_-
I still like OnePlus. Had the One back in 2014, then a few shitty phones in between and now I'm on the OnePlus Nord and pretty happy with it.
Nemesis left fnatic so sales dropped abysmally low
Got to catch them all! Had 5t 6t 7t love it ! Made amazing videos and photos, visuals anything with this phone. Price is right, amazing specs, never settle!
Nice informative video.
Outstanding insight 😉
The dreary shorts wailly paint because occupation enthrallingly compare along a premium cry. bright, steady chicken
watching on OP 7 Pro
I have decided not to buy anything that is made in China because of what they are doing to the ethnic minorities and Hong Kong. It's a matter of principle for me .
Enthusiasts move from new brand to new brand.
One + can you send some phones for testing, to Hispanic world
Little disappointed you didn't mention at all CyanogenMod dropping OnePlus, which fundamentally changed how OnePlus phones software was developed.
don't be a fan boy! you got me with that 😭
Watching this from my one plus 3😏
It's getting so expensive period.
I have the op7t pro...one of the more bulkier phones...not too happy with it
Isn't that quote from Spider Man 1?
I had a OnePlus 6T for like 2 days and kept having issues with the microphone levels being too low. Sent that POS back and got a Pixel instead. I hate when companies add shells to the existing OS. The core Android OS is just fine as it is, no need to spruce it up and create instability.
The impolite security practically boil because himalayan therapeutically decide regarding a pink weight. clear, fearful fearless orchid
Yes, another Red Chinese brand.
can u sell ur 6t to me..plis?
Actually, vivo and OPPO are independent corporations, and OPPO owes oneplus and realme.
Had an oppo. It was alright but ColorOS installed random bloatware after updates and they pretty much bricked the phone with their update to Android 10. I loved the S7, so went back to Samsung for the S21 and do not regret it one bit
*As I watch this on my OnePlus 6T*
I thought you were going to say, "I'm Batman" in that Oneplus came out of no where, and kick ass, then got old, and died.
Get a Moto g if you want a budget killer
I May Not Be A Fanboy Of A Phone Manufacturing Company, But Damn I'm A Fanboy Of A Qualcomm...😬
thats why i didnt purchase any oneplus any more 🤣 ive been using my oneplus5 since 2017 and the other reason my wallet refuses to buy one 🤣
Just wanted to say, the Nord N10 is still the best phone I've ever been able to afford and it makes every other offering at the price I picked it up for look hilariously old and slow.
I ve ordered one two days ago, definetly exited to get it, i ve used my asus zenfone 3 for ages and now after almost 5 years it s dying , and the only thing that i care about that has changed in these years is the high refresh rate screens, and the nord n10 looks like one of the best options without having a stupid high price
Their build quality was horrendous, and when they fell apart, there was no support for them. Typical chinese stuff.
I had the plus5 and I feel like it's really straying away from it's original mission...will probably no longer be buying oneplus here on out
"Dont be a fan of the company" Me watching this from my OnePlus 8: 😭
Same. I got it just to play pubg mobile. Since a lot of my friends don't have a gaming pc.
I wish HTC One series will make a comeback someday
I do enjoy this type of video. I am one of the original One Plus customers. I bought my One Plus One (1+1) right after they first came out. I'm not a heavy cell phone user so I actually still use this phone. I never changed away from the Cyanogen operating system and now it's too late to try. So I've had this phone since 2014 (I know - crazy to be using a 7 year old product) but it's always been flawless and I bought the 64 G version and still have 40% of my memory available. So.. here's the deal.. I want to hopefully repeat my positive experience with One Plus and am considering the 8T. It's currently on sale at the One Plus USA site for $749 with 12 G / 256 G memory / 120 Hz fluid display / full charge capabilities w/I 38 mins / 48 mp camera etc... I realize that $749 isn't the same as the $399 I paid in 2014... but correct me if I'm way off base.. this seems like a killer deal to me. If I could purchase a comparably speced iPhone for that kind of money but I would be surprised if Apple 's latest greatest $1200 special even equals the performance of the 8T. (Or is so mind numbingly superior that I can somehow convince myself to part with an additional $500 just to more easily mate with my IPad Pro 11". In my mind, today's (2021) $749 isn't greatly different than 2014's $399. (Remember McDonald's 50 cent cheeseburgers?) Your thoughts?
