Question OP 9 Pro vs. Mi 11 Ultra

Hi there!
Apologies if this is not the right place to post this.
What do people think of the two devices? I'm curious to hear if there are people who switched from OP to Mi devices or the other way around and why.
Cheers!

definitely xiaomi 11 ultra if 1. you can get it in China. 2. you know how to flash to xiaomi EU rom later 3. you have checked the
band frequency in your region and it is supported at least calling and 4G. 5G I doulted. 4. If you do not mind the heaviness of
xiaomi 11 ultra design.

OnePlus 9 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 11: Which should you buy?
In this OnePlus 9 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 11 battle of the flagships, find out which phone is a better fit for for you.
www.androidauthority.com

Personally, I don't like MIUI; and don't think Xiaomi will have custom ROM support as good as Oneplus on the long run. They're both pretty good phones (I haven't tried both, just assuming from specsheet), if you don't mind MIUI and custom rom support, Mi11 Ultra seems to have better specs.
Ps. I'm a OP3 and 3T user and thinking to upgrade OP9 Pro.

I went for the Oneplus 9 Pro. I actually was waiting for the Xiaomi 11 Pro or the Ultra. Bought the wife the 10 ultra and liked it. So I wanted to go for Xiaomi as well. The Ultra was just a bit over the top for me. Watched the Xiaomi event life and once I saw the two phones, the bump in the back of the Ultra and the specs of the 11 Pro basically the same as the OP 9 Pro... I clicked on pre-order for the Oneplus.

Good decision!

I saw speed test review with Xiaomi mi11 Ultra vs. OnePlus 9 Pro.
9 Pro win almost all.

Depends on you, if you want to unlock the bootloader and install custom roms, my experience with xiaomi phones was that I didn't like the idea of waiting a week for them to unlock the bootloader, even though the phone it's yours vs Oneplus you can unlock it right away, I just purchased 2 months ago a xiaomi note 9t 5g and they haven't updated, I'm still running android 10, there is no updates or support for a least this particular cell phone. So I bought OP9 Pro ( Chinese version) and I'm really happy with it.

Question Who going From OnePlus to Pixel 6?

Been with OnePlus since Op6. Getting my Pixel 6 Pro tomorrow. After the reviews and some user comments I don't think I'm going back.

I am currently using a OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren and I am about to switch to the Pixel 6 Pro.
But I am in nor hurry - the 7T Pro is still working great and fast as hell - also the design is just fantastic.
But as I'Ve been using Pixel (and Nexus) phones before, I think I am going to switch back to TeamPixel once again...

I have a OP8 pro,and going to the P6 pro
Still waiting for my device

I have a OnePlus 8 Pro and Samsung Note20 Ultra. The OnePlus 8 Pro running Android 10 was the perfect balance of clean Android with added customizations. OxygenOS 11 feels like a buggy OneUI knockoff and the shift towards ColorOS strays even further from the smooth clean feel. I know one can unlock the bootloader and run an AOSP ROM on OnePlus devices, but the occasional broken features, root incompatible apps, bootloops when upgrading or installing certain modules, having Slot A/Slot B compatibility issues, etc are annoying. I've rooted and ROM'd phones since the original Droid and the hassles now often outweigh the benefits. I actually have enjoyed Samsung's endless customization options, and with using ADB to uninstall bloatware and custom theming, I've got 95% stock Android. That said, I'm looking forward to an even more fluid experience.
With the Pixel 6 Pro, we're getting the clean stock experience and the option to root, if necessary. In many ways, this will feel more like the true upgrade to the OnePlus 8 Pro. On paper, this is the phone tech enthusiasts have been waiting for but there are few quirks that have been mentioned. It's hard to get unbiased opinions from those given free review units. Unless it ships early, I've got a couple weeks before mine arrives so I'll be waiting to hear impressions from the XDA community. Enjoy your new phone and let us know what you think. Cheers

assuming my P6P ever gets here! (Darn Tmo ) I will be finally switching over from the OP6T. This phone has been giving me some issues for the past few months, and the battery has definitely seen better days. Still LOVE this OP6T though. Hopefully the P6P will live up to the hype!

I'm upgrading from 1+ 8 pro to the 6 pro and I'm getting excited.
I thought I was going to love 1+ and the 8 pro but I missed Google.
The 8 pro camera has been a disappointment, so I'm excited to get back to having a top of the line camera.
With the holidays and a vacation coming up, I'm definitely going to get tons of use out of the new camera.
The 8 pro, otherwise, has been good but not great.
This is the first google phone that I'm not getting unlocked directly from google.
I ordered direct from Verizon and should have it in the coming days.
I know the downside of getting a carrier phone, but the deal was too good to pass up through Verizon.

I have had a few Oneplus devices: Oneplus 1, 3T, 6T and 8 Pro. The update policy left more and more to be desired over time and the merger with Oppo and the expected ColorOS were clearly my reason to switch. What can I say? I have not regretted it yet. The Pixel 6 Pro is a solid device with absolute strength in camera features.

So, you feel like the 6 pro is a definite upgrade to the 1+ 8 pro?

I'm moving from OnePlus 8 pro to Pixel 6 pro ...
The OnePlus 8 pro is a very nice phone overall. My device is rooted and I'm running custom Magisk module to remove the OnePlus bloatware. Even with some extra config which allows apps that normally run on Pixel (e.g. Google's recorder).
I'm a great fan of dark (black) mode ... on my OnePlus 8 pro I have:
- black wallpaper
- substratum with Swift Black (turns almost all of the Google apps into full black)
- OnePlus settings "dark mode" -> this turns other apps (e.g. banking app, strava, ...) into a "dark greyish"
I like this very much since now everything on my phone is either black or darg grey.
Actually that's what I'm slightly concerned about on the Pixel 6 (without root) .. a mixture of black/dark and many other colours ...
Anyway ... we'll see ... Pixel 6 pro will arrive Friday morning so then I'll be able to check it out.
See attached shots.

I have had the Pixel 6 Pro since yesterday and cannot give a long-term review accordingly. But yes. My first impressions are absolutely positive. What I absolutely recommend is a more slip-resistant case. The glass back does not tend to grip. And the pure Android 12 is fun, well-designed and the Pixel6 features are useful extensions.

Was always Nexus/Pixel up to the Pixel 4XL, but then I wanted to give OP a try, and went with the 8 Pro. Good phone. I still have it, still like it, but it never quite lived up to the hype. The camera was the biggest disappointment. With the 6 Pro I'm looking forward to straight forward Android, and one of, if not the best, cameras. Now if Google would just hurry up and ship the friggin' thing. My cancel button went away yesterday, so I'm hoping to get a shipping notice today.

OP6T to GP6
Should be a good replacement.

I have had several OP devices in the past. The One was great, 3 and 3T were just as good as One, the 5 was fine till the drama with the last couple updates, 6T was fine and 8T has been a nightmare to support because of their inconsistent Full Global Package Releases on OP's Download site (they moved Global to Google Servers so the only way to get a full package is when OP releases it on their website). I will be moving to the Pixel 6 Pro and hopefully not looking back.

I'm also in the boat of having multiple Oneplus devices in the past. I currently have a Oneplus 9 Pro, but my Pixel 6 Pro is out for delivery today!

I have had a OnePlus since the 3T and will be moving to the Pixel 6 Pro. Currently using a OnePlus 8 running CRDroid. I have had the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 6 in the past and want to get back to Google updates.

I'm coming from the OP6 and I switched because I wanted a better camera and a telephoto lens. So far I'm quite impressed.
Also, the USB port of my OP6 is completely busted and it takes a while to get a connection
What I don't like that much is the fingerprint reader of the Pixel, I have to aim better and I can't really use the sides of my fingers as it doesn't recognize them very well. That was easier with the OP6. Also, I might miss the headphone jack but I'm getting some free Bose headphones with the Pixel so that issue is probably solved soon
The OP6 is holding up really well with LineageOS 18.1 and GCam though, if the USB port was still fine I might have kept it a bit longer.

Ha, me too, OP6 -> P6P.

Is the OnePlus 8 Pro camera really that bad?
I'm coming from a Pixel 3 XL and am happy with my pictures.
Not sure how the OP8P camera compares with the P3XL camera?

Same here. I've had Oneplus since the 5T and am switching from a 7 Pro. I had the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 6 and loved those devices and the crazy development options. I hacked the hell out of those things. I won't rule out going back to Oneplus but I need to see how the Oppo/ColorOS reviews are and let that shake out. I was going to get either a 8 Pro or 9 Pro, or the Asus Rog phone 5 which looked super cool, but decided to get the Pixel 6 Pro. I hope I'm not disappointed and that also there will be decent development eventually.

Question [CLOSED] Opinion About 9 Pro And Is It Better Than 8 Pro ?

Is this device worth buying right now with OOS13 already released ? Is battery timing fine on OOS 13 ? How will you rate OnePlus 9 Pro as compare to OnePlus 8 Pro ? I also heard that camera of OnePlus 8 Pro is better than OnePlus 9 Pro but I don't know if it is true.

I wouldn't recommend any oneplus phone anymore. What they did with the "merge" with oppo and their garbage color os is unacceptable, for me that was the nail in the coffin.

A13 is fine. OP9 is the last OPs with a public MSM, so it'll probably have the most support long into the future unlike the newer OPs.
If you want to buy a OnePlus device, this is pretty much it.

Yes, it is, despite what the cryers and naysayers have to say about OnePlus (some of which is valid, I'll admit). Stay away from the 10 series, as it doesn't have a publicly available MSM tool to recover from bad flashes, which is why there's no custom ROM development for the 10 series. Might also apply to the 11 series, too, we'll see. The 9 Pro, by contrast, has healthy third-party support, so it'll be usable for a long time to come. (I'd be inclined to say the same about the 8 Pro, though I've never used it.)

I wasn't going for 10 series anyway. I asked which one is better between 8 pro and 9 pro. I have decided to buy a 9 pro.

Good choice. I know you were deciding between the 8 Pro and 9 Pro; I only mentioned the 10 series just to contrast it with the 9 Pro's healthy third-party development. I was personally hoping to get a 10 Pro a little while back, but its lack of third-party development pushed me away from it (I got a refurbished 9 Pro off Amazon for a good price instead).

The 9 Pro still rocks on XDA with Development. I sold my 10 Pro since it had no development at the time...

I have both, I bought the 9 Pro because the 8 pro broke the screen, I can say that Only I noticed difference in the cameras, the 9 pro is better in this matter.

Just bought a used OnePlus 9 Pro for 340 USD in clean condition.

Thread closed at the OP's request.

Question If you want custom roms which is better to get OnePlus 11 or Pixel 7 Pro?

Specs wise I would like to get OnePlus 11 but I've been seeing some info that maybe custom roms won't be coming. Any guidance is appreciated.

The Pixel 7 Pro definitely has more development. OnePlus made it difficult to recover from bricking so many developers have passed them up. A OnePlus 11 running LineageOS or AOSP based ROM would be amazing though.

Get a OnePlus 9 Pro. Comparable CPU, faster GPU with better support than Mali, display is kind of a wash (it's dimmer on the OnePlus but people tend to think the colors are better than the Pixel 7 Pro), much better modem, $600 new on Amazon or you can get them pretty cheap on Swappa and there are a ton of custom ROMs as well as unbricking tools available in case you need them. Don't buy the T-Mobile model though, you'll be hating life. Just get the regular unlocked model, LE2125.
Peep the OnePlus 9 Pro forum and see just how much dev support the thing has.
OnePlus 9 Pro
The OnePlus 9 Pro is a 6.7" phone with a 1440x3216p 120Hz display. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset is paired with 8/12GB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage. The main camera is 48+8+50+2MP and the selfie camera is 16MP. The battery has a 4,500mAh capacity.

If you want privacy, Pixel 7 Pro with Graphene OS.
Oneplus 9 pro is still great.

So far nobody is recommending OP11. So you guys don't feel very confident about OP11 custom rom prospects?

Not without a recovery tool being available. Just look at the 10 Pro and 10T before it that didn't have one either.

As long as there is nothing like MSM Tools, noone will recommend Oneplus'es new flagship phone Oneplus 10 Pro upwards.

OnePlus 9 pro seems like it'll be the only OP device with support for ROMs. I like the 9 pro. It's been a good phone. Soon as I can sell my S22 ultra I'll be going back to it more than likely.
