If anyone still wonders if they should buy : No. You should not.

They've now put a hardware-based anti-rollback feature in place that, if you try to roll back (f.e. to install a custom ROM without Google spyware or because of some other issue) your device will be hard bricked, irreparably.

They're worsening for years now, this is just the newest addition of crap they pull.

@Natanox Actually, yes, you should buy #OnePlus 6. It is very well supported phone by mainline kernel, and they are getting real cheap now. You may want to avoid anything newer than that :-).

@pavel Doesn't that one also have an AMOLED? My OnePlus 7 Pro got one and by now it got the most horrible burn-ins.

Right now I'm considering a Jolla device (SailfishOS) as daily driver once my current one breaks.

@Natanox Should be OLED, yes. But no, I did not notice any burn-in.

Sailfish is non-free, so it is not on my lists.

OnePlus 6's biggest problem is that it is ... too big :-).

@pavel @Natanox the ui is made with a closed source library that you must use.

@Natanox @kura @pavel I wonder why there is such a compatibility difference between sailfish and postmarket, can't they just release/upstream the drivers for a port? Afaik, there are no blackbox blobs in postmarket.
