How are people getting on with the one plus 13? Seems it can be got for about £500~. Is the camera any good? Gets mixed reviews.

Yeah it's gonna be Chinese version with color os at that price , I bought it early thinking would be able to flash oxygen os like you did with OnePlus 12 and gets ota updates as normal

Although you can flash oxygen it needs work to keep stuff working and knowing how to keep update with future oxygen updates

Yeah thought as much, that's a shame. As much as I could do this, the savings aren't worth the hassle for me.

Thanks!

I'm guessing so. I purchased my Oneplus ace / 10T from there and ive received all updates as usual.

recent releases OnePlus don't make it straightforward to flash where you can forget about it mainly with future ota updates

Looks like either camera working but can't ota or ota but camera not working

Not sure if you can also relock the bootloader, keeping it unlocked brings issues with bank apps etc , if you lock it you can't fix stuff by flashing you have to unlock bootloader first, unlocking and relocking bootloader always erases data

Really appreciate the information. Thanks
 
Have been using a Vivo X200 Ultra for the past 5 days or so. Really pleased so far but need to get out and fully test the camera - so many options to try! Good to see Android Auto working out of the box and had no issues with any other apps/Google Pay etc :)

Nice one. Which colour did you go for?

It's only wear OS support that's missing this time round.

Always on display notifications icons showing for all notifications? And get notifications from all Apps without them having to be running in the background?

This is the issue I had with cn OnePlus 13 running CN coloros

I don't use AOD so haven't noticed but can test over the weekend.

Must admit I'm not sure about whether notifications are 100% coming through on time but need to monitor it. My main apps seem fine but sometimes find notifications conveniently appear right after unlocking my device. Will need more testing to be sure.

did you get the camera kit ? i have the same phone and camera kit on order to replace my huawei mate 20 pro.
 
X200 Ultra here too, thing is a beast! the speed of it is quite astonishing

Esim sorted by using a 5ber sim, G Pay works, revolut adds fine but Lloyds doesn't but have used Curve with Lloyds added and works fine, used it today.
Android Auto working native.

I get gmail on this quicker than on my iphone, you need to set each app to allow notifications as it is off by default (unlike the global phones)

There are a few minor nuances like not being able to have Google discovery page to left screen from home page.

Only 2 things it cannot do is Google Timeline and WearOS watches. (but it said to work fine with Samsung Watch Ultra)
 
I'm currently rocking a Poco F5 pro. Is there anything worth upgrading to? Everything I've looked at just seems to be the same with slightly better specs.

I'm sort of happy with the phone. Just wants something new :D

Any recommendations? Budget £400ish
 
Is the Honor a Chinese phone? I'm interested in the Honor 400 Pro, cheaper contract than my s25 ultra and specs wise? Is it better than the S25 ultra?
