EU and NA models still have unlockable bootloaders.
i just today pulled the back off my old oneplus 8 pro and put a new battery in it after putting lineageos on there. i decided i was tired of using my locked down Samsung that's full of crap
Every single day I miss my slider switch. They kept the notification LED longer than most others too.
My OnePlus 13 has a slider switch. Isn't the 15 the only flagship OnePlus that dropped the slider?
The loss of the slider switch still breaks my heart. It is my most loved feature on the phone.
This is written on a OnePlus 13 with a slider running lineage os. Amazing phone.
I still have my OnePlus 9 Pro, sadly I smashed the screen on day 2. Despite the broken screen it still feels and looks like a more premium device than my Pixel 9 Pro XL in terms of hardware, but the software really went down hill after the switch to the OPPO software.
Now I want rid of the pixel because they destroyed battery life with an update in march they've still not fixed.
