Anyone using OP15 with M1 Maxx 5G sim card? Can get 5g+ network on the phone?
Thanks!

I hope my S23U can last me till then.

Went Japan for 12 days late Nov. Can't recall how many times I got myself "Camera Failed" or "Failed to start the camera" message. Everytime that happens, I need to restart the phone to get the camera to work again. Sometimes it just straight restart itself when I turn on camera. Not quite sure if it's due to the cold weather (0 - 15C) or other factors - battery replaced in August possibly or purely software - updated to One UI 8 before the trip.

Then back in SG, it happened only once since 1/12 but taking a lot less photos and warmer temp.

Let me dream about it and see if I should just hoot OP15 or X9P and live with it

Are u using Android Auto or any 3rd party launchers on your current phone?

if yes, do note that are there some limitations for Oppo and OP.

1) Android Auto will not work well with Whatsapp Call on both Oppo and OP, it will cause your AA to exit to bluetooth screen.

2) 3rd party launchers will cause about 0.5s lag/delay when you use swipe up back to home using gesture.

if you are not concern about this both portion.. feel free to continue

Doesn't seems that worth...

yeah. specs wise top up 200+ more get OP15. provided not fussy about screen PWM dimming etc, probably more worth? but on if got more coupons, or a bit lower, probably not too bad an option.

Probably only worth considering few months later when price drop further

For 2) I've cracked it, found out how to mitigate the delay. The delay is caused by the stock System Launcher and the fix is to kill it. The issue is launchers normally don't appear in the Recent Apps page, nor are they "killable" by force stopping it. I tried force stopping the System Launcher, clicking the button doesn't do anything.
So my workaround is to create a shortcut to the System Launcher, which allows me to launch it as an app. Then it appears in the Recent Apps page, I can swipe it away and the lag is gone!

Here's how to do it, I'm using Nova but I guess other launchers might also work.

1) In Nova, press and hold on any blank space to invoke the widgets/shortcuts menu

2) In the Widgets section, the first item on the list is Nova Launcher, click on that and then press and hold on the Activity shortcut and choose an empty spot on your home page to drop that Activity shortcut.


3) You'll be presented with the Activities page, it's a long list of apps. Scroll all the way down to the System Launcher section. Look for the .Launcher option, click on it and deposit the shortcut anywhere on your home page.


4) Once you have the System Launcher shortcut on your homepage, just click on it to launch the stock System Launcher, go the Recent Apps page, it should appear there, then just swipe it away and your lag should be gone.


A few things to note:
a) Your default home launcher should be kept as the 3rd party launcher throughout.
b) Second thing is this no-lag behavior only persists till the next reboot but having the shortcut to System Launcher makes it easy to kill in future.
c) As you can see from my screenshots, I'm not using gesture navigation so I can't say for sure this also works with gestures, but feel free to try and report back.

Hope it works for you guys too.

The 5G icon got indicate 5G+?

The 5G icon got indicate 5G+?

Got 5G. Won't show 5G+.

The only difference is SA or NSA.

If anything above midwave mmWave then will show 5G+. Which is not applicable to sg.

Depends on the Telco and Phone manufacturer settings.

In Singapore as long as the settings status sim can show NSA or SA can already.

NSA - 50Mbps to 400Mbps
SA - 400Mbps onwards up to 2Gbps

when u use soft buttons, it won't have any lag, or the lag is very very negligible.

U mean if I don't kill System Launcher? Nope, I use buttons and I get the lag all the time, unless I kill the System launcher then no more lag

In 2014, OnePlus launched a phone that felt impossible. Top tier specs, clean Android, and a $299 price tag. It was not just a good deal, it was a statement. OnePlus positioned itself as the anti Apple, a brand for people who cared about performance, software, and value over logos and hype. The OnePlus One delivered nearly everything a premium phone offered at half the price, and fans showed up fast. Forums, YouTube reviews, and word of mouth turned it into a cult brand almost overnight. For a few years, the formula worked. Each new release pushed specs forward while keeping prices reasonable. OxygenOS stayed fast and simple, and OnePlus built a reputation for listening to its community. But slowly, things started to change. Prices climbed into full flagship territory. The product lineup became confusing. Leadership shifted, and OnePlus was pulled closer into Oppo and the larger BBK ecosystem. Software updates began to feel heavier. Bugs became more common. The clean identity that once defined the brand started to blur. Then came the real breaking point in India, their most important market. Hardware issues, retailer frustration, and rising competition caused OnePlus to lose ground fast. This video breaks down how OnePlus went from a cult favorite to a brand stuck in the middle, and why losing that middle ground is often fatal.
