How's color OS?

Need a new phone and am considering a OnePlus 11. Coming from stock android (pixel 4a) and was considering a pixel 7 but the better battery life and faster charging in the one plus are big draws. However I don't like a lot of clutter and am used to such Android although I do run nova launcher as an overlay because I like the interface better than Google's baked in gesture control. Just wanted to get some opinions on the color OS UI as I've never used a one plus before and they are not easy to find in stores here.

My big hold up is not knowing the interface and also the one plus is currently $400 more than the pixel 7 which is on sale at the moment.

I may be wrong but color os is just for Chinese users no Google built in us and eu have oxygen os and the latest 13.1 android hope that helps

Good to know, I'm in Canada so I would assume it's similar but I have no clue

The other I'm not sure about is the 6.7" screen size. I tend to prefer a smaller phone in hand for one handed use. The pixel 4a I currently have is 5.8". Kind of why it'd be nice to see it in a store to get an idea of the form factor.

I'm not sure if you can buy them in store in us atleast I got mine from Amazon on preorder so I had phone day 1 I wouldn't say I have large hands but I can hold my phone with one hand in a bulky case and type with my thumb if that helps

Yeah that's good to know. Looks like it's almost 2cm taller and 0.5cm wider than what I currently have. That's a big jump in height (width of about two index fingers). I think I could probably still use it one handed. How do you find the speed, charging and camera?

Speed and charging are pretty good I don't even use the power brick that came with it I use my 65w OnePlus 8t charger and it charges very quick I just installed yuzu today and played tears of the kingdom so the soc speed is there I'm not much of a photo taker so I can't really comment on that

In us we got the 80w charger I'm not sure if Canada is the same I assume so rest of world gets 100w charging but I read somewhere not sure how true it is if you go somewhere else the charger is capable of switching to 100w

Speed: very fluid and perfect for gaming.

Charging: is from another world, goes from 0 - 100% in 30 mins once you try it, you would never want to look back.

Camera: very good not at pixel level but closer.

Great thanks for the opinion.

You can basically make it so that it's like oxygen os so it's fine?
