Should rather have invested the $150m in software engineers. Google has shown its software related more than hardware related. Apple too, to an extent. Actually it's probably 60/40 software.

70/30 on Pixels.

OnePlus seems to have transformed into a mainstream brand with broad appeal, but the old fans are not happy with this direction.

Unsurprising.

They've lost significant appeal by offering flagships at too close a price to the big boys by following their trends/feature sets rather than focussing on what they were doing best, i.e. providing a select set of pirority premium features at a good price point with frequent software updates.

OnePlus have lost their way...

Yesterday, AnandTech posted some information about “weird behavior” it spotted with the OnePlus 9 Pro. According to the team’s research, Oxygen OS apparently limits the performance of some popular Android apps — but none of those apps are benchmark suites.

Geekbench, one of the more popular benchmarking sites, took these allegations seriously. After conducting its own investigation, Geekbench recently announced that it has removed all OnePlus 9 benchmarks from its charts.

OnePlus appears to be limiting the performance of certain apps, likely in an attempt to conserve battery power. This isn’t a problem, but the fact that benchmark apps are not also affected by these optimizations misrepresents what the user will actually experience with the phone. In other words, it’s not blatant cheating but still could give a false impression to a potential buyer if they just looked at OnePlus 9 benchmarks.

It appears OnePlus is in trouble again over benchmark cheating allegations. The OnePlus 9 benchmarks were just removed from Geekbench.

OnePlus officially teases white OnePlus 9 Pro, but you can't buy one

After seeing the first live images of a pure white OnePlus 9 Pro, the company has officially teased said smartphone and has published official images of the phone to its Weibo handle. Here’s what the teaser says, machine translated into English.

”The world’s only customized white 9 Pro

white body excludes a clever and pure temperament.

At the same time, this is a collection of works, dedicated to the 8th anniversary.

It gently moved its palms with a sense of voluptuousness.

How do you like it?”

We thought there may have been some mistake when the translation said, “world’s only customized white 9 Pro,” as to mean that there is only one white customized white OnePlus 9 Pro. It turns out there is no such mistake, we reached out to a OnePlus spokesperson who offered the following statement.

The white OnePlus 9 Pro that was posted on Weibo was just a prototype. There are no plans to mass produce this device." - OnePlus spokesperson

It’s possible that OnePlus did intend to release a white 9 Pro at one point, but it could be that those plans were scrapped.
