OnePlus is a terrible company. I purchased one of their phones, I had some issues with the device within the 30 day return period. It was a popular issue, I think it was ghost touch but it has been a while. Anyway, in order to get a refund I had to do a charge back with my CC company.

I am pretty confident my next phone will be an Apple device. I was an Android fan, purchased all google/nexus devices starting with the G1. I had problems with many of those devices. I have switched to Samsung, but the amount of garbage on the phone still annoys me. Therefore, it is time to try iOS.

Oneplus had some occasional hickups in the support department but I don't think their hardware is significantly better or worse than anyone else.

What I really like about OnePlus is their software. It's hands down the best Android version ever created. Love their additions to vanilla OS.

OnePlus has a history of breaking basic Android security features. For example:

- https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6-bootloader-protecti...

- https://www.xda-developers.com/two-critical-oneplus-33t-boot...

While OxygenOS is smooth and not bloated and their phones are cheaper than other flagships (in some markets at least), their security record isn't the best.

Not saying they are without faults, but if that's all you get on them then they are pretty damn secure.

The first link is about a flaw that allowed the OS to be replaced without the user knowing. It's the opposite of "pretty damn secure".

And they had other security issues, both with their phones and servers. I'm sure you can find more info with a quick search.

OnePlus makes good phones, but this thread is about Android security... and they don't have the best record.

No band 14 support :(

I admit this is a niche issue, but it's critical for me.
