When the device was released I wrote a couple of guides (rooting/ROMs) for others that imported the phone from China. With how Cyberpunk 2077's release went, it's a unique device with a bizarre background.
I still have the 7T. Not sure when I'll be upgrading next, but I'm not sure I'm sticking to OP, been with them since the OPO but it may be time to look at other androids.
When I went looking, I was simply reminded of why I stopped buying from Samsung and others. Oneplus still offers a pretty good deal, but not nearly as competitive as it used to be.

I only use It to hit a few Google searches here and there, so I don't need anything special. When I charge It overnight and purely leave It on standby from the following morning, by around 9pm, the battery Is sitting at around 15%. When I use It for normal navigation (without streaming YouTube etc nor any calls) It must be charged twice a day.

To be fair, even with them becoming more expensive, the quality and longevity is still far superior to Samsung, from my experience. I just compared prices for each of their top of the range products. We're talking £200-£300 difference. Of course, that's without specs comparison, but the OnePlus specs are more the adequate and often compete with Samsung's. Imo Samsung is just the overpriced Apple of the Android market. They're not bad phones... they're just not "good" if you want to use them beyond 2 years.
I'm using Dismas's old OnePlus 6T. It's approx 3-4 years old but you wouldn't know it. Works like a brand new phone. No battery life lost that I can tell, and I can run mobile games, video streaming and all the usual mobile habits with no issues. Before that I used a Motorola Z Play which I also loved.
Both OnePlus and Motorola appear to have very good customer support, which I can't say for Samsung.

My Android device Is around the same age, and It needs charging twice a day.

It's time for me to purchase a decent phone.

I used to also like HTC! I'm not sure how good their longevity is now though. My last few models from about 5-10 years ago died a lot quicker than the Motorola and OnePlus phones I use now. Ofc, I can't comment on their more recent models.
I've been hearing a lot about the Pixel lately too. I know very little about it, though.

I wouldn't judge anyone for having one. The last Samsung I had was probably the Galaxy S2 or S3. I doubt anyone with an S20 is complaining. At the same time, there's similar options for a lot less.

Over the years, it seems like that's happened with every brand. There will always be a new contender.

The Samsung flip and fold look cool, I don't think I'd fork out the money for the S20 like.

Huawei's making a comeback, I had one of their phones, was pretty decent
