If anyone still wonders if they should buy #OnePlus: 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.

@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.

Thanks. I once proudly owned a OnePlus One. Now that company is on my shitlist. And that is permanent. Samsung is on my shitlist since 2011 and I hold that up even today, 15 years later.
@momo Keep holding that up, Samsung Smartphones are utterly awful.

I can tell you stories about samsung hard disks, SSDs, printers, DVD players, TVs and laptops. Most of them from own experience. I learned that Samsung is korean for "3 Stars". Probably 3 out of 5...
