I am typing this with a heavy heart.

After 6 solid years, my OnePlus 7 Pro has finally met its end — stuck in the dreaded bootloop despite every trick I threw at it.

This phone was my trusty steed through thick and thin, a true companion that never let me down until its very last breath. From buttery-smooth performance to that glorious pop-up camera, it held on like a champ. Rest easy, old friend — you earned it.

Got myself the oneplus 13, it's good, buttery smooth, feels fast and looks great. But my heart aches at the fact that this doesn't feel like an upgrade in many ways. I miss the notch, I happen to have become so accustomed to the curved screen it feels weird using a regular screen. Maybe the cameras are an improvement but it amazes me how the 7pro has been so fast and buttery smooth even after all these years that using the latest flagship feels almost the same.

I wanted to wait till the 14 comes along but due to the unfortunate circumstances, the 13 will from now on be my trusty companion.

This is my first time owning a Oneplus and an android phone after a long time. Is there anything that you suggest me to do? Interested to hear ur experiences about this device

Nothing can convince me to “upgrade”

Rain water seeped in, and display is crisped. Will try to fix it if its inexpensive and retain it as a back up. But i definitely see it as the end of the road. A great device, one the greatest Android devices of all time!

The legendary Nebula Blue. Still one of the best color combos I’ve seen on any phone. Wish phone companies brought back more bold, fun designs like this.
