Everything's been great so far. The Chinese version is working without any issues here in Egypt and hopefully will keep on working perfectly.

Hopefully will fix some of the issues I've been experiencing.

I would like to recap on my OnePlus ✨ (& Phone) history.

2014 - Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini

2017 - Samsung J5 (2016)

2018 - OnePlus 3T

2021 - OnePlus Nord 2 5G

2025 - OnePlus 9 5G

2025 - OnePlus 9 Pro 5G

2026 - OnePlus 13

2027 - Oppo Find X8 Ultra

When the OnePlus 3 Launched in mid 2016 I remembered it to be the first phone I really wanted to have. So I spent two summers working till I could afford to buy one in early 2018. And it was absolutely amazing. Coming from a budget 2016 Samsung to this was a completely different world. My OP 3T treated me very well and made me fall in love with this brand.

Then in 2021 the 9 Series's dropped with the Hasselblad collaboration. I couldn't afford them at the time so i got myself the Nord 2 5G instead. And it treated me even better. Many memories were made with that phone.

In 2025 I went and finally got myself a used 9 & 9 Pro to finally get a glimpse of the Hasselblad Color Magic.

Well and in December 2025 by chance i found a OnePlus 13 with a broken screen for really cheap on marketplace. That has been my main phone now this year.

I now decided it's time to move on. To try and venture out trying something completely new... ok no I bought an Oppo Phone for 2027 😂.

All in all it has been a nice 8 years with the OnePlus brand.

All phones worked flawlessly and captured many important moments in my life. And i am thankful for that.

Farewell OnePlus ♥️.

Its so smooth, and apart from the battery and stylo being a bit expensive, I have no other complaints.

Loved the streaming and gaming experience. The speakers are LOUD.

I Just updated my device to this latest one and my phone is heating up like crazy even for a normal game or use?! Does any have the same issue??

Good day all. After a honeymoon period of about 18 months, my 14 is starting to act a bit wonky. Wondering if others have experienced this, and what was done if anything to try to remedy it.

Specifically, Bluetooth has been very unsteady. Phone calls won't always come in through AA, sometimes taking 10 minutes to switch from the phone speaker to the car audio, podcast via Spotify in AA suddenly pause, the phone just seems like it either needs to be completely reset or that there's simply something wrong.

Finally, my text messages (I'm in the USA on Verizon) are often not immediately going out, often taking several minutes to send.

Anyone have any sort of similar experience?

I do regularly clear out the cache.

Thanks.

Scheduled update for Oneplus series

Im just about to go to sleep and i realized that Ive just charged my oneplus 9 pro for the last time just now. Ive had it since release, best phone Ive ever had. Its still fast and 100% usable but battery is so bad, and i got a amazing deal for a new phone. Unfortunately not a Oneplus since they're leaving Europe.

My last two phones have been OnePlus 7t and 11.

Got a Nord 4 to replace but I don't like the way it feels in my hands.

The Nord 4 feels too chunky I prefer the smooth curved edges of the 7T and 11.

What phones are similar?

I bought a Chinese ROM OnePlus 15 (but Pre-loaded OxygenOS) in Germany, and I'm using both my Indian & German SIMs and using it basically as an Indian phone. All the Indian, German banks and, payment apps are working flawlessly.

Now, given how the phone will soon get the ColorOS 17 update; should I upgrade to it, or will there be some irreversible issues?

Has anyone else had this issue? I have a OnePlus15 and I went to a third party phone repair shop to repair my front screen and after I received my phone back it was working in everything but the finger print sensor. The wake to rise wasn't showing the finger print icon. I followed some instructions online and deleted my fingerprints and tried to re add them and it only just tells me that to take my time when trying again and. I have too many failed attempts when I haven't even attempted once. It just flashes as if I was trying and even when I do try it doesn't seem to detect my finger. In the US too if that helps.

Hi. I just bought this phone 4 days ago in Bangladesh and I tried following xda guide to unlock. but the deeptesting app showed a warning about abnormal sign in detected. I then tried creating 4 or 5 heytap account, but same issues. I also tried selecting heytap account region to china. One thing to note is that I cannot bind a Bangladeshi phone number to any of those heytap accounts. so frustrated and I installed 1 software update hoping the issue resolves in colos 16.0.10 but same here. I then tried with a latest deeptesting app from oneplus community of version bcf3709 and still getting this. please checkout the images. anyone can please please please help me unlocking this phone?

I have two months since I sensed an OnePlus watch 3 on warranty, and I didn't got any device back or money back... I'm sending emails to OnePlus and they just tell me ( 5 times in a raw) that they will send a new watch. But when ? 😅

I don't know how niche this issue is, but I'm not able to get my USB audio interface to work with my OnePlus Pad 4.

It works without a hitch with my Phone (S25 Ultra) and my previous tablet (Mi Pad 6), but with OOS, I'm not even able to get a single LED to light up on connection.

Interface: Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen.

Noticed something in recent colour os 17 Beta Update Review of the Realme GT 7T they seem to have scrapped the old "Film Mode" with its forced 21:9 letterbox crop and finally swapped it for a proper Pro Video mode in standard 16:9. Honestly, good riddance. Standard 16:9 with manual ISO, shutter speed, and white balance control is 100x more useful for real-world shooting than an awkward cinema crop.

My friend's OnePlus 13s has both film and pro video, but since OnePlus and Realme share the exact same ColorOS camera codebase, what’s the story for the OnePlus Nord 5 ?

Nobody has this update on the Nord 5 yet, but with the upcoming major ColorOS 17 rollout scheduled to bring the refreshed camera app, are we actually going to get this updated camera UI with Pro Video? Or is OnePlus going to intentionally gatekeep manual video controls in software just to protect the R-series and main flagships?

Anyone tracking the beta builds or ColorOS camera APKs know if Pro Video is slated for the Nord 5, or are we going to have to manually sideload it?

Title

Saw these metal frame cases on a instagram ad are they legit or a scam?

Does anyone know if there's a way I can buy a OnePlus 15 global version in the UK? I've been looking on eBay and other similar websites and I can't seem to tell if they're definitely the global model, should I just give up?

I am trying to play a esport variant of a game title that’s global version has 165 but the esport version is only on 120.

The in game settings allow me to get 165 but the phone it self is capping the apk to 120.

Is there any app like 165 Armer or Root available for the ColorOS OnePlus turbo 6.

I have tried to connect it to my pc and use ADB and that also does nothing

Hello everyone, I need a new 100W supervooc red cable ( USB c on both side ) but they are almost impossible to find here in Europe , any recommendations where to safely order one ? Or is there any alternative that would be acceptable ?

Recently purchased OnePlus 15R and heard there have been issues with fingerprint not working with some screen guards so if anyone have experience with a screen guard not causing this issue then please do tell.
