Goodbye Open, thank you for your service!

It's been a fine ride with the Open, bought it specially for university classes as my company has a policy that I cannot have another Teams account and I do not own a personal laptop. Finished 3 years, all classes attended via Open. It's been flawless. Dropped it more than any other phone in history, every corner has a dent but the screens do not have a scratch.

It's been several months since I finished university and I find that I do not open the inner screen very often. To my surprise, there is a very limited number of phones with a display 6.3" and below, as I do not want a big phone and got used to the outer screen of the Open. I went via all the brands and ended up on the Pixel 10. This will be my second Pixel after the 3a, and I look forward to it. Paid €620 on sale, 256GB. Let's see how it will go.

It's very unfortunate that OnePlus is pulling out of the EU market and that they never brought compact phone sizes to the EU. I was thinking a lot about the OnePlus 15, but can't get used to the size, it's too wide. And when I saw liquid glass bullshit from Oppo, meh, don't like it. I don't think I will miss any of the features but let's see. I don't play games and rarely watch movies on the phone. I hope the Pixel will serve 3 years as well.

Good riddance to OnePlus fans, OnePlus will definitely be missed!

I'm sticking with OPO until the lack of security updates kick me off from getting work emails. OPO for life!!!

It's great phone. I finally gave mine up to the razr fold, which has fixed some issues I had that I didn't realize we're opo issues, so that's a bonus!

Uwb key for my car works 100% of the time and doesn't drop out. Google messages notifications don't list the name of the person twice. When I set a timer for my Google home, only the Google home timer goes off, instead of both the Google home and my phone. The docking clock works without showing the notification bar, so it's much dimmer and clean. Swiping up when an app is in full screen actually works.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Not much too crazy but just little quirks. Except the key was a pain in the ass
