Moving from s9plus to a oneplus/pixel device and vice versa : Discussion - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion

I have been a big fan of oneplus since its debut .
I have had oneplus x , oneplus 2 and oneplus 3 .
Then i moved to iphone 7 and now i have a samsung s9plus.
The only thing that bugged me with oneplus was randoms bugs appearing here and there in normal day to day use .
Now moving to samsung i feel that software isnt very responsive and fast .
I see slowdowns and lags here and there .
Any one who owns a oneplus 6 or 5t as well , can u compare the s9plus to oneplus ?
I am planning to sell my s9plus for the upcoming oneplus 6 ..
What do you guys say?
Please give your opinios .
Thanks.

I had the oneplus 6 along w the s9+ (exynos)
op6 is faster ( a bit ) but the camera on the s9+ is way way better. I never had slowdowns or any hiccups on the s9+ though.
but with that aside I'd go with the oneplus. more development, more choices more everything.
I'm planning to sell my s9+ and get the 6T next month.

I get the same amount of SoT with both. But charging w/ the oneplus6 is faster and more convenient.
Screen quality on the s9+ is a bit better, but hardly any difference between 1080p and 1440p.
I really loved both. But prefer the OnePlus 6. I just stayed with the s9+ and sold the 6T when I heard 6t is coming due to the s9+'s camera. I just hope the pricing for the 6T isn't that high. Phone pricing nowadays are getting ridiculously high

As per the rumours the 6t will start at 38000 ...
I don't think that it is a budget pricing anymore .
Just recently on sale the 6 was available for 27000 after applying discounts . That was a good deal

Which would you choose, s9 plus or Oneplus 6?

I can get both for around the same price range, and I actually like the notch, so that does not bother me. If I do go ahead and buy the s9 plus it will be the US variant meaning no custom ROMs or nothing while the oneplus 6 will definitely have all of that and more. But the s9 plus will probably have a better camera as it does every year. What do you guys think? In a dilemma of sorts right now....
hmmm its a close one, the one plus 5t seemed majorly less laggy than my note 8, we all know samsung fimware can be laggy at times.... benchmarks were just about equal even though my 5t had 2gb more ram... you cant beat the samsung screen though 5t was very close. i suspect the same with the 6. of course camera on the OP may still be behind the sammy's.
the extra space is a moot point as the newest SD cards almost rival internal write speeds these days ....
i loved my OP but i ultimately changed to sammy as my netwrk in the UK would not support wifi calling and VOLTE on it even though it was ecxlusively sold throigh them (O2 take heed and stop smoking crack!!). Im on three now ad they prob will not support VOLTE and Wifi Calling either on the one OP... so only choice i have is the S9 Plus with Three firmware...
As a OP 5 owner, I'm waiting to see how good the camera is on the OP6, if it sucks I'm not bothering with OnePlus this year. My Nexus 5X had better picture quality than my OP5 (sadly).
I went from the N6 to the OP5T. I couldn't be happier with. I'm not a big camera buff so the 5T camera is better in certain lighting than the N6.
I'd get the OP6
I'd pick the 6. If you don't mind the camera quality, go for the OP6, it's cheaper and will have a better development support.
A difficult one, an open, development friendly phone vs features
I would probably choose the S9 Plus for memory expansion and carrier support (VoLTE and VoWIFI) ...
I think if price is not an issue than a GS9 or LG G7 should serve well. However, for most people, oneplus becomes relevant due to it's price. And if one is hard pressed for cash then Oneplus should do well.
Samsung? NEVER!
Have been using S7 Edge for more than 18 months now and very satisfied with it. Even though the ram is only 4 GB where OP was giving 6 or 8 GB Ram, S7 edge has always stood its head above the OP 5 or 3T or 3. I also use the OP3 as my secondary phone and just love the dash charge.
One of the main reasons that I bought the S7 edge was its IP 67 certification. Hence with the new OP6 with IP certification and the notch, I am inclined to buy it. Will give my update after using both.
S9+ 1M out of 1M time
how come?
install Gcam man! op camera APP sucks, it's nearly top notch with Gcam with HDR+ working
Oneplus 6 as touchwiz or whatever they are calling it now sucks.
S9+ is an overpriced meme piece of crap just like iPhones have been since the 4 basically.

jumping from 6t to 7 pro

Does anyone have any regrets? I was really wanting to pick up a pixel XL when TMO started carrying them but for some foresaken reason it's not a JOD device. Trying to decide if worth it to get 7 pro or wait for pixel devices to be available for JOD..
Close your eyes and let OnePlus take your money. Get the OP7P and forget it!
You ordered it yet?
Only you know whether or not it's worth it. Myself personally, I switched from the OnePlus 6t to the Galaxy s10+ and then to the 7pro and this is the smoothest, beat device I've ever owned. The camera is a lot worse than the Galaxy but holy cow 256gb memory and 90hz is truly epic

Yeah with the 6T camera is good enough but not great
OSS v9.5.7 improved the camera greatly.
Go Pro and then enjoy Bro...
Install gcam, no regrets...
No ragrets on my end. Still keeping my 6T as an emergency backup phone. 7 Pro cameras are a big improvement from the 6T IMO, but with the Gcam apk I'm using, I'm getting stellar images for when I need to. The refresh rate on this display is one of the top reasons I got it and no notch/punchole too. I never use my selfie camera so this is perfect for me. I still with this had a headphone jack and Micro SD support but I know that OnePlus will never give us that.
Only mistake is I didn't think OnePlus could get better than the 6t... 7 pro so damn smooth.. Not choppy smooth... And that alone got me here
Using the 6T right now going to wait another year for the next year's oneplus model, may be in display camera/Fingerprint scanner that would be cool.
I've been enjoying mine over the 6T although that's not to knock the 6T in any way, it's still an amazing phone.
However, having an all screen display, symmetrical borders and QHD with a 90Hz refresh rate is enough to upgrade for me.
I picked one up today. So far I do believe it's a definite upgrade.
Any of you using the oneplus switch? If so, does it copy over the data with the apps too?
I updated from the op6 and it's a significant upgrade. The 9.5.7 camera improvements have it basically on par with the pixel phone hard on the camera comparisons I've seen on YouTube between the pixel and 7pro..
The ghost touches some were reporting (I tried and couldn't produce them) have been fixed and eliminated.
Just buy the phone and you'll not regret it.
Picked up the 7 pro from T-Mobile today. Used it out of box for a few hours and when I got home with it finally got to play around with it some more. It's now SIM unlocked and converted to international. Will wait a while before twrp and magisk. Overall happy with phone
No regrets whatsoever, love this phone.
People who dont like the pro are usually those who don't have it. Here it's a camera comparison with the pixel. you decide if it's an issue https://youtu.be/UA_CQ4UBgtg

Should I switch from the S10+ to the Oneplus 7 Pro?

I'm going to be straight forward:
I'm a little sick of One UI and I really miss Oxygen OS. I've felt in love with the 90hz display and the almond color but I didn't really used the phone.
I have just this questions:
Which is the best in BATTERY LIFE?
Which is the best in CAMERA? (after the most recent update)
Which is the best in ERGONOMY?
Which is the best in AUDIO? (I don't care about the headphone jack)
People that have made the switch OP7Pro -> S10+ or S10+ -> OP7Pro, can you tell me your reasons?
THANK YOU!

I own both.
Battery: about the same maybe leaning towards the S10+
Camera: S10+
Ergonomics: S10+ (much nicer phone to hold)
Audio: toss up
I get bored with phones really easily so rooting the 7 pro does have its advantages but if you're not going to root the S10+ is just a better phone.

I'm going to root the OP7 Pro if I get bored, I can''t root the S10+ due to warranty...
Is the S10+ better than the OP7 Pro using the Gcam? I can't install gcam on the S10+ because I own the Exynos model.

Hard to say as there are a lot of different GCam versions and so far I haven't found one I prefer over the stock 7 pro camera. The latest update really helped the stock 7 Pro camera.
Not to say a great version isn't out there for the 7 Pro but all the ones I have tried I prefer the stock camera.
I own the US Snapdragon version S10+ so no root for me either. Unrooted vs. Unrooted the S10+ has way more customization available. It's honestly the first phone I haven't felt the need to root.
This is coming from somebody who hasn't owned a Samsung since the Note 4 and has owned almost every OnePlus.
The biggest advantage is rooting, unlocking the bl etc.
If that's not important to you, you lose many features like
Wireless charging (I don't care tbh)
No IP rating (not even because of water, but because of dust. I don't trust OP in that regard, an ip rating would've been better - especially since the camera is a moving part that might let some dust in when the rubber is worn out).
No always on display (bummer for me, others don't care)
Filming in wide angle
And a very important point: The display of the s10 plus is the brightest of all flagships.
But rooting is very important to me, so I have no alternative to the OP7 pro.

I also own both and agree with this to a T! But I also get bored with phones so I can switch back and forth!

1. With 90hz + FHD my 7P appears to be close to the US S10+. Mine has been used for < 24hrs, therefore I can't point out a winner. With my S10+ I regularly hit 10hrs SOT, sometimes a bit more with lighter usage or 7-8 with heavy.
2. S10+ with an altered gcam config will win, no doubt about that. I grabbed some sweet shots on mine. I'll test the 7P at some point.
3. In-hand there's no mistaking the premium device. Not to say the 7P is bad, it's just playing in another league.
My transition from Samsung to 1+ can be reduced to root, as well as longevity. Although it's also true that reception was awful for me, whereas the 7P posts better dbm values.

Unfortunately I can't use gcam (well, I kinda can but it's worse than the stock camera) with the S10+. I intend to use the OP7 Pro with 90hz and FHD as I use the S10+ with FHD.
Please, update me with some battery stats after
I was using Samsung phones since galaxy s2 till galaxy s8+. I switched to OnePlus 7 Pro for one main reason. Better display. First of all it is 90hz fluid amoled vs very good display on S10+ but:
1. 60hz
2. Punch holed
I know that some people do not see the difference between 60 - 90hz to be honest not sure why but maybe they do not want to see it and also I know many people think that punch hole is great option. I want to use full potential of the screen. I have returned every TV and monitor with single burned pixel. I just can not stand any form of notch or hole.
That is why I did not buy Galaxy S10+
If you do not care about phones display and you can accept punch hole and if you accept that your phone will start to work slower and slower every month( intentional phone silting) and you can not root it go for s10+
OnePlus made a huge impression on me with fluid work and it is very close to IOS experience which I had sometime ago.

I have both phones also and I have to say I prefer the 7 pro. The camera is definitely not as good to me, I think the 7 pro has a better battery life ( that may just be due to my personal use) for ergonomics, I'd have to give that to the OnePlus and for audio they seem about the same to me
So all in all I think if you don't care about pics as much then I think the 7 pro is a better choice. (Pics are essential to me so I need Both). My sim card is mostly in the 7 pro ( because I live rooting and have a SD s10+)

I'm not an owner of a S10+ but I switched from Pixel 3 XL unlocked to the TMobile OnePlus 7 Pro. My best friend has the S10+ and we've done our version of a comparison. The only follow up question for you would be if your OnePlus device will be carrier locked or unlocked. If you want the 90hz refresh rate and the Oxygen OS is your cup of tea and your device will be unlocked, then I'd say go for it. Honestly those 2 things are the real difference. Yes you get the fnatic mode with the unlocked OP7Pro, as well and more RAM (if you opt for the 12GB version) but those things are minor. If your OP7Pro will be carrier locked, and rooting/unlocking the bootloader is not your jam, then I would absolutely NOT switch over to the S10+. Honestly my only regret about the OP7Pro is the fact that it's carrier locked. If I could go back, I would've purchased it unlocked for sure.

Your not into rooting and unlocking I guess? Because your OnePlus does not have to be carrier locked anymore....?
Naaah don't do it... Because the oneplus 7 is boring. Boring I mean you miss a lot of features you have in the s10+.
On the oneplus 7 there are not or nihil features as on the s10+ it feels to naked.

It really comes down to the experience you're after. I'm currently using a Note 9 and while it's a great all around phone, Samsung's OneUI really detracts from the Android experience. It took a lot of tweaks to get everything running fast and smoothly.
The advantage of the OnePlus 7 Pro is you're getting a near stock Android experience and the ability to root and install custom ROMs. Sure, the camera may not be as good, but reviewers are saying the most recent update makes the camera quite good.
It's a tough choice for sure. The Samsung gives you a complete solution out of the box with wireless charging and headphone jack. The OnePlus gives you a cleaner, smoother software experience.

The Pie update with OneUI is why I got rid of my Note 9. It doesn't matter how good a device is. It can easily be ruined by a terrible software experience.
Iv'e switched from an Exynos S9+, had some screen burn in's that wasen't covered by warrenty.
The 1+7 Pro is a real beast when it comes down to performance. As we don't have SD versions of the Galaxy devices in my country.
Also, i diden't used any of the "extra" features like wireless charging etc'.
Not to mention most of sammy's apps...
Iv'e traded my S9+ and got a really good deal on the 1+. My plan was to wait for the note 10, but the price would be really too much, since i upgrade annually.

Coming from a pixel 2xl, which OP should I buy?

So I see and read all the videos how disappointing the Pixel 4 series is. I'm thinking of getting a One Plus. I see that there are different varieties of the 7 series . On your suggestion please keep in mind thdt I do like My pixel 2xl size. For a big phone it's comfortable to hold and now too tall. I see that the 7 pro is very tall.
So I'm open to hear what you owners think. Also to stay with Verizon , is the One Plus website the only deal ? Lastly would you know what Google features I'd miss or not get
Thanks!

Hey man, I also used Pixel 2 XL since it was released. I was disappointed in leaks of 4 XL so I picked up 7 pro about 2 months ago. Size they are fairly similar in size, weight you definitely feel the weight difference with 7 pro bring heavier. Dimensions they are fairly close if you check. I definitely missed all the Google pixel features but a lot of roms have same experience plus more such as omnirom tresk mod. For the display alone is worth moving from Pixel 2 XL to 7 pro I think. Good luck man.
I've had pixels before, then I tried the OnePlus 7 Pro and have never looked back...
You will miss the Pixel quality camera. Works on Verizon really well. Best Android skin ever. Screen is great, speakers good. I have a 2XL and the 7pro. Android user for a long time. First time I can say in 15 yrs I have been looking at an iPhone. Google can't seem to get out of their own way. Pixel 4/4xl is just the latest example. Good luck.

Great info thanks!
1- What about buying?
2-I want to stay with my current line would I better off buying direct from One plus? They have the finance offer.
3- How is their launcher? customization ? At least equal to the Pixel Launcher or close to Nova?
4- What features did you miss from the Pixel?
Thanks
I came from the Pixel 2XL om Verizon network. I've had mine just a few days
1 - Bought mine direct from OnePlus. Guarantee it would work on Verizon network that way. Just make that phone call to switch to CDMA Less.
2 - I pay cash for all my phones. I did see financing on OnePlus site though.
3 - I used Nova Launcher on day one that I bought the Pixel 2, I also used it on the Nexus 6P before that. I'm currently using the Stock launcher on the Oneplus. I can honestly say that the Oneplus launcher feature rich and that I don't miss Nova at all. Probably the only reason I ever really used Nova is because of the stupid Google search bar on the Pixel 2 and 6P. You don't have that problem on Oneplus, You can remove it I would say its closer to Nova to answer your question.
4 - I think the only thing I'll miss is the free original quality uploads to Goggle Photos. The pixel 4 does have the original picture quality upload and no finger print sensor so those 2 things were the deal breaker for me for the price point they are asking for the Pixel 4XL with only 6 GB / 128 GB
I bought the 12 GB / 256 GB version. Gotta love those specs more that anything over the pixel series.
Hope this helps in your decision. Feel free to ask anything else.
Hey Jeff , nice write-up!
I thought that one of the beefs is that the p4 does not upload original photo quality for free.
How would I know if I should get the 7 or 7t?
Plus is it true that it comes with a screen protector out if the box.?
Thanks

1. i have the 7 / 7T & the 7T Pro, if you're into heavy gaming i'd suggest you pick up the the 7T Pro, if not, the 7 Pro performs really well on the 12GB ram version.
2. Yes, all of the OnePlus 7 devices come with a pre-installed screen protector & a silicon case inside.
If you have more questions, feel free to shoot them my way
Jeff,
What about warranty advice?
Also, do you think my pixel sim would work or do I ned to contact Verizon for a new sim?
Plus, the One Plus website doesn't offer the 12GB ram version yet, only Amazon. . I think I may go for the 8. I can't justify the price and as is I''m going from 4 to 8.
Thanks
I must say... If you rely on a good cam, the OP should be not your choice. Unfortunately.
But if not, everything speaks OP7pro. The screen is amazing, performance great. 90hz ftw!
And i don't think the 7t pro is necessary. Unless you game a lot.

I'll be good with the 7 Pro, I'm not a gamer.
Thanks
Did anyone see my last couple questions-
Warranty advice
Can I take my pixel sim and plug it into the OP?
On buying I think I'd go with the 8GB. May this time around to enjoy a little money saving. I'm kind of tired buying super expensive phones. Plus I'd be going from 4 to 8GB.

What advice do you need regarding warranty ?
Yes you can use your sim on it
Since you're going for the 8GB ram one, If the difference between it and the 7T Pro is not sky high, take the 7T Pro.

I decided to swap my Pixel 2 xl on Oneplus 7 Pro 5g and it was serious mistake. Advantages of Oneplus 7 pro in compare to old one Pixel 2 xl are;
- ultra wide angle
- phone is a little more responsive but it's not really something which makes noticeable difference for me. I know that most nerds cannot prevent erection while talking about oneplus 7 performance but I don't share their experience at all
- fast charging is huge improvement especially in compare to Pixel 2XL
However the Pixel 2 XL also has a lot advantages in compare to Oppo Oneplus 7 Pro;
- Absolutely everything else is much much better in Pixel 2 XL. I even prefer Pixel screen because of curved display is probably the worst 'improvement' in smartphones history.
Pixel 2x is much better overall device in my opinion than Oppo op7p. I was able to find out three Oppo advantages over Pixel however if compare to g8s and probably any other flagship it's worth nothing. As example I will compare with LG G8s;
- ultra wide angel in LG is wider and overall camera experience are better mainly while recording
- G8s is still very responsive and in daily tasks the same lightning fast like OP7P
- Faster charging in Oppo is worth absolutely nothing because of limited compatibility with my chargers and it will never replace wireless charging
OnePlus is not water resistant. It's not a problem for me at all in normal circumstances but this phone has quite large gaps not only between frame and back which collect a lot of dirt. It's look terrible and I have never seen that in any other flagship. Overall Oneplus is good phone but it's not flagship. This phone is rather very good mid ranger with flagship soc because everything expect soc, ram and storage is in oneplus far worse than in any flagship phone on market. I regret that I bought this phone. Swapping Pixel 2 xl on Oneplus 7 pro was huge downgrade for me.

Whoa, this is the first negative comments I've seen so far. I'm a bit confused now.

First of all, it's his own opinion, it should not affect what you decide on buying or not.
To simply put it out for you, if you want an AMAZING camera, don't buy the oneplus, if you want a good camera, then go for it. That's for the camera only.
As far as the reply from the guy/girl above, i have really no idea why the negative bash over the OnePlus, i've been a OPO user since their 1st device, and tbh i've never..EVER.. considered any of thir devices a Flagship or a Flagship killer like they say.
The OnePlus 7 Pro and the 7T and the 7T Pro, i have all three, and all three are performing AMAZINGLY for me in all situations, except for the camera, when it comes to taking pics i user another device, but that does NOT mean the OnePlus camera is bad, no, you just cant expect it to perform like the Pixel phones, that is all.
You want the OnePlus to perform super good camera wise? Get the GCam port APK and unleash the camera powers with that
Again, like i said, go for the 7T Pro, since you're aiming for the 8GB Ram 7 Pro, if the price difference is not huge

1 - I do not have a warranty on mine. You have 30 days after purchase to signup for whatever it is Oneplus is selling. I probably won't get insurance at all.
2 - I just switched my sim from the Pixel 2 to the Oneplus 7 Pro and called Verizon's 800 number and talked to tech support and they did the switch my device to CDMA less over the phone. Took just a few minutes.
3 - I though about going for the 8 myself over the 12. I used my sons student beans discount so I got mine for just a little over $700. If I did have the discount I would have gotten the 8 for sure. Plus buying from Oneplus you can avoid paying tax. That is it or miss on Amazon these days. Far as 7 pro 12 Gig Ram, I see its no longer available on Oneplus web site. They must be out of them.
To answer a few questions from your other posts:
1 - I know can always pay to have your photos upload to original quality to goggle photo/cloud service. But free is free. And it was free on the Pixel 2, lol.
2 - Yes the screen protector comes pre-installed. They also give you a nice clear silicon case as well.
3 - I would of considered the 7T if it came with 256 memory or a Micro SD slot.
4 - Far as that negative review. I would take that with a grain of salt. You show me a new flagship phone and I will show you a negative review, lol.
IMHO, I feel that OP7 Pro is superior to the Pixel 2XL in every way. Even the Camera with its 3 lenses. You won't be disappointed.
To Inpain and JeffBea, Thanks!!!
Now I'm a bit on the fence for the 7T pro or the 7pro.
I'm not a gamer
I want a good camera, but it;'s not a deql breaker.
I'm a performance guy but I'll probably go for the 8 Gig on either model. Can't see spending the extra $200 plus unless you have a serious case to persuade me
Thanks Again,
Rich

If that 200$ is the price difference between the 7 Pro and the 7T Pro, and you're not a gamer like you mentioned, then go for the 7 Pro

Pixel 5 or OnePlus 8T

Deff 8t especially if you can get a deal. If you are in EU there is the 128gb version which is cheaper than p5. In the US its more expensive but you still get a phone that has higher specs and essentially the same cam.
Hey there,
I hear that the pixel 5 has screen issues meaning that it's slighty "off" the bezel. Check it out. I hope I'm wrong.
Where are you thinking of buying your oneplus 8t? Let me know. I have a oneplus 8t. :good:
S9+ is quite good actually. Pixel 5 will be a definite downgrade for you. But 8T is an upgrade in several areas (screen, charging, 5g).
8T for the hardware , Pixel5 for software
100% OnePlus 8T. You get a better version of Stock Android IMO.
Back in end of October, I had had the OnePlus 8T for 2 weeks. Then I wanted the pixel 5 since I thought it just be better.
I returned the pixel 5 after 2 hours.!!!
Screen, sound quality, build quality, brightness etc...the OnePlus 8t wins hands down!!
To me it was not even close.

Couldn't agree more. And the Pixel 5 is supposed to be their "Flagship" device
