Downfall of OxygenOS In this thread I shared my point of view on the downfall of OxygenOS. Repost the thread 🧵 if you found it useful.

@Pmkphotoworks But the key is to choose sponsorships based on the product value that YouTubers can do.

I respect Gyan Therapy for his journey. ​Venom Tech is one of the most fun-loving guys I've ever met in this industry. ​But to say that they don't do sponsored videos? That's not right. • ​TechBar does sponsored videos. • ​Gyan Therapy does sponsored videos. • ​Venom Tech does sponsored videos. ​In fact, every single tech YouTuber does the same. The only so-called honesty one can maintain is being honest with their own work, and that I can vouch for with our own TechBar videos. ​To be clear, it is 100% acceptable to do so. Running a YouTube channel in India is NOT financially easy; that is the harsh reality of the platform here.

@YourbroRishabh The best thing happened with smartphones. And it was so great when it launched, that even after many years Android has not reached the level of the iPhone.

Dynamic Island is one of the best things to happen to smartphone Uls. I was against it initially, but the convenience it provides is hard to ignore.

Smartphones are slowly turning into AI assistants. In next 2-3 years we will not open apps, we will just ask to do things for us to our personal assistant.

✨🇨🇳Huawei HarmonyOS 6.0.120 features the Smart Grip function! It intelligently switches the side call-answering position based on your grip, fixing the trouble of not reaching when answering calls with one hand—perfect for people with small hands.

By doing all this, they are losing their identity and loyal fans.

How is it hands free?

@saaaanjjjuuu Totally disappointing.

The OPPO Reno 15 series left me speechless with the pricing: OPPO Reno 15c : ₹34,999 OPPO Reno 15 : ₹45,999 OPPO Reno 15 Pro Mini : ₹59,999 OPPO Reno 15 Pro :₹67,999 2026 will be disappointing.

7 Gen 4 at 46K. I think we have now given a hint of what 2026 will be like.

On one hand we are getting news of the removal of the Lock Glimpse feature and on the other hand this bloatware news. It is hard to understand Nothing these days.

Only someone who has used a Windows Phone will know the experience. Nowadays we are getting clone UIs of each other, especially Android just copying iOS. Hopefully it will come back.

@ManojSaru Does not look as good as the official image.

vivo X300 FE in my hand - one word for the design?👇

@Teknovist I don't like the Nothing OS's control panel because of the waste space at the bottom when there is no music player.

Do you prefer the current solid design or this new blur concept for the Nothing Control Center?👀 Let me know your thoughts below! 👇

So this time the price of OnePlus and OPPO is very disappointing.

@GyanTherapy Congratulations 🎉🥳

4 Million+ Completed 🎉 4 Million+ = 40 Lakh+ 🤩 Bahut Bahut Thank You aap sabka 🙏

@TechJunkies Next year, OnePlus' market share will be counted among others with this price.

Reliance digital accidentally revealed the price of the new Oneplus 15 !! There should be a ₹5000 cashback but yes it seems price will go up of the new Oneplus 15...

@thegadgetshub But I think why do we have to manage two OS which are almost the same, yes, there are some differences too, but they should start giving ColorOS to OnePlus devices too.

Inconsistency in OxygenOS 16 quick settings panel In normal view, the brightness and volume sliders are pill-shaped. However, in edit mode the same slider appears rectangular, reminiscent of ColorOS 16. The same inconsistency can be noticed in the setting where you choose b/w Split and Classic QS panel. Refinements in such areas will make OxygenOS 16 close to perfect.

@TechWhirlUlt True, prices should not increase.

I have seen so many people post about "Component price increases" these days, seemingly out of the blue. Nobody is denying that components are more expensive. We know RAM and memory prices have gone up. We know that Qualcomm overcharges for its SOCs due to a monopoly. What we also know is that the price of the OnePlus 15 was *lowered* in China, thanks to a much weaker camera system and a cheaper haptics motor, and they also no longer have to pay Hasselblad for licensing. Anyone with two brain cells can see right through the propaganda going on right now. There are component price increases, which the brand has already managed by downgrading several aspects of the hardware. There is absolutely no justification to further increase the price in India, or even keep the price at 70K. If it went down in China, it must go down in India as well. Before someone says 'tax,' the taxes also applied to last year's phones, and to other brands' phones, and India is not as bad as the EU, so that is not an excuse. Companies have compromised in various ways. OnePlus: Weaker cameras everywhere. Xiaomi: No camera hardware upgrades on the base model at all. Samsung: Same (as per leaks). iQOO: Telephoto minimum focus, 1/1.56" main Everyone manages costs in their own way. Cost increases are the company's problem to deal with. Why are reviewers and content creators justifying hardware downgrades by using this 'price increase' excuse? We are prepared for more expensive phones. We are not prepared for lame excuses and false justifications. Just say they want more money and higher profit margins from India; that's just the truth. Component price increases are everywhere, and we know they're not using some 5-star hardware in India to justify the price increases. Bottom line: A single rupee increase in price is not justified for the OnePlus 15. Remember the Vivo X Fold 5? It was priced at 84,000 in China, but the price was 1,50,000 in India, which was a 66,000 jump. That got fairly called out, now it's time to do the same if another company is overcharging for Indians. This whole situation is quite sad, because OnePlus was a company that specifically lowered the price drastically for India once (8 Pro).

@adi_fications @nothing Based on the change log of beta 1, I think they will release the stable version directly now😂😂

Yo @nothing where's beta 2 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

@mehtababd Brother, This sentence looks good on our kind of accounts.

this means a lot to us small accounts 💔

@getpeid Are you happy with what Nothing did this year compared to last year?
