When i am hungry i am angry.
Anger + hungry= disaster

Besides what point will i be trying to prove if i get ulcer apart from my foolishness.

Auskyd:
Lol wetin you wan use X-ray camera do tho?

Would be very interested in your reasons

Why have a dedicated infrared camera, that you can not use?

I am on 11.0.8.8, my screen on time is about 8hrs but on xda people on A10 still get 9- 10hrs. I heard that it was worse before the last update, good thing every update brings one fix or the other except the silly update that disabled the infra red camera that allowed xray pictures on oneplus 8 pro.

Better save guard your 5k before you become their project!

The girl child because;
1. They are generally fragile and require more care and attention, unlike boys.
2. Their hair needs to be attended to regularly, which cost more than regular barbing for boys.
3. They grow quicker than boys, so you will buy cloths more often.
4. When they start seeing their monthly period you will buy pads until they are on their own.

But if you have a stubborn male child, their troubles & unexpected bills can cater for a household of girls.

If your car just dries up and starts running without any problems, it will strengthen my trust for Lexus/Toyota

Well explained, Sir can I borrow your oneplus too

See big boy like you, i'm sure u own something better.

ibawon:
No Sir, phones are getting over priced, it's our currency that's getting weaker
Remember Flagship phones, Flagship Prices

Phones are getting over priced worldwide! Our currency is not making it any better for us, yes, but even people living abroad complain of the increase in phone prices. $1000 dollars is not small money abroad, that is the price of most flagships. 4-5years ago no flagship phone was upto that amount. 2018 Galaxy note 9 launched at $1000 while 2017 Note 8 was about $930, right now almost all flagships start at $1000 range. Some are hitting $2000. In the next 5yrs flagships will reach $5000!

What is your NO for exactly? because i have just repeated my previous post, but elaborately.

PotatoSalad:
nothing do 11

I have used 2 phones since 11 came out and on their various platforms on xda you find people wanting to roll back to 10 due to unsatisfactory battery drain. Its not a disaster but still a complaint.

I am on 11 though so i wouldnt know the difference. But by all means upgrade.

viklegend:
How much is this 9 pro

Between 450,000 - 500,000.

Phones are getting seriously over priced nowadays. And our dwindling naira aint helping matters. As far as i am concerned flagships of now and 2020s best have little difference in tech. On paper the specs are different but when u hold a flagship of 2020 & 2021 in your hands you may not know which is newer if you weren't told. So why cough out so much to be up to date when you can get a 2020 flagship for almost half the price with almost equal performance in speed and camera quality?

I can only justify that kind of expense if i am going for a galaxy fold or galaxy flip which is a whole new technological package & experience.

SHABZ:
Thanks brother. How much did you pay for it?

I traded my oem toyota screen and added 40k for the screen and fixing. I cant say if i was cheated or lucky though.

This brought chills to my spine. In this hard times, I feel for you bro. Adhere to the instructions given, you should be fine. Keep us posted.

I have the 10inch screen on mine, running android 10 2g/16gb. I will advice you get a good radio guy cause its not exactly plug and play. The screen was a perfect fit but the cables connecting it had a manufacturers error that required some cut/ join.

I got mine in Abuja though. In Lagos it shouldnt be hard to get.

Benjaniblinks:
I wanted upgrading to android 11 but the complaint is just too much how is your experience with the battery drain stuff.

I will advice you remain on Android 10. 11 is androids worse upgrade so far, almost every device has complaints, especially on battery life.

freezy4me:
I upgraded from 5t to 7 pro 2 years ago and that was the best decision I've ever made regarding a mobile phone. No case nor screen protector but phone is still mint. Design wise it's still the best looking OnePlus phone and am planning on using it till 2025 as design is futuristic.

The pop up camera and full screen display is truly nice. I wonder why it was discontinued in subsequent models. Android phone manufacturers are fond of dropping stuff that actually works.

skywalker240:
If only IOS would agree for other OEMs to use their project on their (OEMS) device, that would be lovely

This is the main reason IOS excels over android, because they cater to only their devices. Their OS works fluidly with their device even with just 2gig of ram because it is optimized to their devices. Android has to cater to a plethora of devices which still adds their own skin untop, complicating things further.

The day IOS decides to cross platform that will be the end of its strength. Na that time Iphone users go begin respect Android for what it is........... A father to many!

Auskyd:
Awesome take on this!

That lag is where I still disagree. I want to know where one UI lags. Opening apps? Loading apps? Where exactly?

Make una educate us abeg. Cos if you see lag on Infinix and Tecno then you'll understand this is lag. How it happens on One UI is what Im dying to know.

I havent played with a Samsung since after S1 & Note 4 which my wife used for almost 4yrs. But from what i hear the lags and frame drops are noticeable when scrolling through apps, and animations in the UI. All these are minute, ignorable complaints that can be overlooked whenever they occur but when you pay a premium to own a premium device insignificant issues become big issues and tend to annoy.

With phones like Techno & Infinix, you get what you pay for. Lagging, frame drops and hanging are their 3 stooges.

Performance on the oneplus 6 and s9 is about thesame due to same soc, except the exynos version. Oneplus may be slightly snappier due to its close to vanilla android os unlike the bloated sometimes laggy UI on Samsung. But it all boils down to user experience and preference.

I am biased... Go for the Corolla.

Oya make una come beat me

Go to www.xda-developers.com, search for your phones forum, you will see tutorials.

I am in Abuja, i would have helped you for free. I have owned and rooted more phones that i can remember. Been a member on xda-developers since 2012. Prior to that i have been hacking blackberry os & symbian os since early 2000s.

Batteries have actually gotten smarter with lithium ion batteries but there are still some safe practices to prolong the battery health.

Lithium ion batteries are at their best in the middle, never too high nor too low. So its best to;

1. Charge a battery to 80%. Pushing in the last
charge between 80-100% causes the battery to
age faster.
2. Never allow it to die out completely.
3. Some phone manufacturers have battery
management systems (smart charging) in their
os to regulate how long a battery is charged,
this is to prolong battery health.
4. Some experts say once in a month allowing
your phone to die out completely, then charge
to hundred percent helps re-calibrate the
system, like restarting your PC clears the cached
memory.
5. Always using your fast charger(33watts,
64watts) degrades battery faster. Use them on
the go, not over night. Get a normal slow
charger for long charges because fast chargers
heat up the batteries significantly, and heat
degrades battery life fast.
6. Just like in dieting, its better to eat many small
meals than one large meal, in battery care its
also good to go on multiple charges of 10- 90%,
20-80% than 0- 100%.
7. Every battery has a charging cycle of between
300-500cycles. Every time you charge from 0-
100, that is one charging cycle recorded. At the
end of your cycle the battery stops to hold
charge. When a battery reaches 100% it stops
charging even when it shows the charging sign,
it discharges to a percentage determined by the
manufacturer then its starts charging up to 100
again. It doesnt show it discharging while
plugged in, but the battery is busy charging and
discharging. Minus the continuous charge and
discharge, the process heats up the battery
which over time damages it. Imagine leaving a
battery charging overnight from 10pm to 7am,
by 11pm it must have fully charged from 11pm to o7 will be discharging and charging using up precious charging cycles. A battery that should
end up lasting 3yrs will suddenly run oout in one year.

Sticking to one brand gets boring. I also dont believe in limiting myself technologically when there is alot to experience and learn. Xiaomi was a good experience for me, and so was Xperia, HTC, Blackberry & the numerous Nokia phones before them. I started hacking phones from symbian days then blackberry os before my first Android phone; Samsung galaxy S1. The experience then was bliss.

Windows phone & Iphones are just too boring for my liking, i almost went for an iphone 11 before getting the oneplus. Thank God i reasoned some senses back into my head, while iphone is a great device there is still ALOT an android can do that iphones cant. Especially when you are rooted and a SuperUser.

You dont know jack about cars. No be insult, no vex.

Oneplus 9 is finer sha. I like the camera arrangement. Did you root your oneplus 8, What firmware are u on? 2 days back i got the 11.0.8.8.IN11AA update, but i am reluctant to update until i hear some positive feedbacks.

ibawon:
I remember one Bros then that used to water our eyes with Oneplus devices barely weeks when they are released, but wait oo
Oneplus 1
Oneplus 5T
Oneplus 6
Oneplus 6T
Oneplus 7
Oneplus 7T
Those are the Oneplus devices I've used

Wow, you were loyal to the brand! How was your experience?

JimmyCrow:
7pro is not better than 8, 8pro isn't better than 9 ..I have been using one plus since op5 to 6t to 7t and now currently using 8..just say there's no point buying a op8 if you're already using 7pro..heck 7pro is sd855 not even 855+..
I used to get overheating prompts on 7t playing pubg 90fps for long sessions but on this 8 my temp is always below 37degrees..like the phone no even d feel the game sef. 865 is waaaay better than 855

Ok. Nice insights, hence the creation of this thread. Well, the users on reddit may choose to differ on their views on 7pro. From what i have seen Oneplus 8pro is better than One plus 9. Oneplus 8pro has better screen 513ppi vs 402, ip68 waterproofing can only be found on oneplus 9pro & 9t, better battery life (SD888 over heats & thats not good for the battery)4500mah vs 4510mah, camera has ois slightly better hardware on oneplus 8pro. Its just a better phone to my opinion. To me SD 888 is powerful but not much of an upgrade to SD865, they both handle same tasks with ease.

If mediocre fuel mileage will bother you, go for a 2010 Rav4, CRV or HRV.

If you are willing to overlook fuel mileage for cost of power go for 2010 4Runner, Highlander, MDX or Mazda CX9

RuneKingThor:
Well written thread. For a while I've been thinking of getting a OnePlus device. I might just entertain that idea.

You will stand out if you do. If you can, go for the pro version. Apart from using a year old processor the pro is always better than the next gen model. For example the 7pro is better than 8, 8pro is better than 9...

Benjaniblinks:
Let me sit down here
I'm a proud owner of a OnePlus 6. Just 2 days old Sha. The phone is super fast.

Oneplus 6 is still a very good phone. I remember the oneplus 6T being a gaming champ in 2018.

Do you know that when oneplus one came out, one needed to get an invite to buy it. Talking about exclusivity.

Oneplus came into limelight with their flagship killer Oneplus one in 2014. Ever since then Oneplus has remained in the top league of android phones, and one of the first Chinese brands to challenge Samsung, Sony, HTC and LG for the top spot in mobile technology. Apart from their decent hardware their main selling point is a bloat free close to vanilla android OS; Oxygen Os(global) & Hydrogen Os(Chinese). 7 years later we now have the oneplus 9, oneplus 9pro and oneplus Nord 2 with the Oneplus 9t coming soon.

Right now as far as android mobile phones are concerned the top 5 flagship brands are (not in any particular order) Samsung S21ultra, Xiaomi M11ultra, Pixel 5xl, Oneplus 9pro, xperia 1iii. Sadly Oneplus went from one of the affordable flagships to one of the most expensive, same as Xiaomi. Oneplus 9pro is close to a whopping 500k!

After a lovely year with a Mi Note 10lite (the most beautiful phone i have used) i decided its time i jumped ship and get a new experience out of MIUI, so here i am, now rocking 2020s Oneplus 8pro, i could not afford the oneplus 9!

The oneplus 8pro is still a powerful device by todays standards, the specs are as follows;
. Snapdragon 865
. Qualcomm Adreno 650
. Curved fluid 6.78 inches amoled 120hz display
. 3168 × 1440 resolution with 513ppi
. IP68 certified water and dust resistant
. Aluminium frame and gorilla glass 5 front and
back
. 8g 128gb or 12g 256gb
. 48, 48, 8 & 5 Sony rear camera & 16 front camera
. 4510 battery with 33w wireless charging and
reverse charging to charge other wireless devices
- Android 10 out of the box, updated to android
11. Oneplus promised 3yrs os updates and 4yrs
security patches. So android 13 is a given.

While changing brands my main concern was battery life. Smartphones of today have reached a crescendo in terms of technology, most phones have good cameras and enough power but battery capacity is always an issue. From research oneplus 8pro was second to Samsung galaxy S20 ultra. In real life use it was at per with my Mi Note 10lite (a battery king with 5260mah battery) due to the battery efficient SD 865 and the optimized Oxygen OS.

The first thing i did after setting it up was to root the device by patching the boot.img with magisk. I left the recovery untouched. The advantage of this method is to be able to update my os wen needed and still maintain root. I just have to un patch and patch the boot image. Easy!

This thread is to promote all things Oneplus. Pls be free to make discussions, post your pictures taken from oneplus, tell us about your oneplus device & your experience.
