I'm on the fence. It has yet to be seen how good their headset will be, how large the venn diagram of apple fans and VR users is. Further how well this will compel plain old VR enthusiasts to pick one up, and if it's really 10x the launch price of quest 2 and now 3x the pro (previously 2x) it better be fucking amazing

I love my OnePlus 10 Pro. It's a great phone. On Android 13 and I just received the March 2023 security update today. Battery lasts around two days, 65w charger came in the box, charges to full in like twenty minutes. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.

My biggest complaint is that I wish the case selection was better, but I paid less than $350 for it. So I can deal. It's the best phone for the money I've ever bought in my life.

The point is that it used to be the best balance of features for me in the past, we know that they've gone downhill now.

For phones available in the US, nothing at that price point offered a better display and performance with good build quality and clean software. An easy comparison is the Pixel, which has always emphasized the camera at the cost of inferior displays and processors.

This annoys the fuck outta me. I don't treat my technical devices particularly well and my OnePlus One lasted 4 years. After that I switched to the OnePlus 5t and it has given me 5 years of intensive usage without problems. I know that I'm gonna need a new phone in the next 12 months & I really don't wanna switch away from OnePlus after lasting 9 years with only two devices! But everything I've read about their newer generations has been dogshit:(((

They are in performance. Intel is faster on single core tasks and AMD fares better on multi-core tasks. So it depends on what you’re doing. AMD chips generally use less power which makes it easier to keep cool. AMD is often cheaper to get the same level of performance.

Either platform is fine for most people. The greatest thing AMD has accomplished is forcing Intel to be competitive. That means we get faster and more efficient systems for less money. I’ve used AMD products for years because they used to be a bit slower across the board and way cheaper than Intel. Overall, they’re both great and it’s just us nerds that have a preference. Completion brings excellence to the market!
