I switched from Samsung Galaxy (first S, then S3) to OnePlus years back, and I've been a happy camper.

I currently have an OnePlus 9, I've heard no so good (compared to previous) reviews of their newer models, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. My current phone has been running great for multiple years, minimal bloatware, would recommend.

I have the 10 pro and although the camera is definitely an improvement over the 5 I used to own, the overall performance is about the same. I still have my 5, and use it a lot for POS stuff and it's great still. I even have a OnePlus 1 around and it still works decently although it struggles a little with some apps. That's a TEN year old phone.

I have a recent OnePlus and it's been excellent. I like it even more than the older ones I had, which is directionally quite different than my experience with Apple and Samsung.

I bought a Motorola G73 5G a few months ago, paid $160 for the 256GB variant including 25% VAT.

Compared to my primary phone, Samsung S21, it's a ridiculous amount of phone for the money.

But I find the default Google apps to be quite limited compared to Samsungs offerings. Google's calculator app has no unit conversion and a very bare-bones "scientific" mode. Google's file app has no way to search for files containing special characters, while Samsung's can do that just fine by using \ to escape the character.

I don't have a SIM in the Motorola as I just use it around the house, other is "work phone", so haven't tested the phone and messaging parts yet, but I recall Samsung were better there too several years ago when my SO had a Sony or something phone.

But yeah, seriously considering getting something else next time around.

Surely there are untold many suitable calculator apps on Google Play or F-Droid?

Yeah, I'm honestly afraid to buy a new phone with all the horror stories. I still have my OnePlus 6T, Oxygen is fine but it seems like the ROM scene isn't what it use to be.
