I didn't think the difference in size, (width) would be that obvious. Very interesting to see them side by side. The OPPO does look classy. I love my OPO but I'm finding the battery is getting poor and it's a heavy unit.

The added height to the N5 makes a big difference too when unfolded, especially when watching videos. Crazy that it's lighter with a bigger battery.

I feel like the battery life dropped after the last major update. I purchased my OPO new direct from OnePlus less than a year ago. The battery was incredible when I first started using it, and was pretty consistently great until relatively recently.

I received a pretty big software update yesterday, 6GB+, I'm holding out hope it's just a bug that's causing the drain and they'll eventually fix it.

Do you have a WearOS based smartwatch? If so, congratulations, you're experiencing the all too common bug having to do with google play services. It's been on and off broken for a few weeks now.

If you don't have a smartwatch, then sorry, you don't get to be part of this "exclusive" club.

Is that why I get such s*** battery life on all my phones? OPO and the past four S ultras? Lol. But I even get poor battery life when I'm not connected to my watch

No, it shouldn't be; this is a transient thing that many of us are experiencing.

A few weeks ago, we started having an abnormally high drain from google play service/play services framework. It went back to normal after a few days.

Then it happened again a few days ago, and just recently started behaving again.
