I have been considering getting a OnePlus phone but it seems like the price just keeps going up and up; for that sort of price wouldn't it be better to get an official Google released phone? I'm just unsure of the benefits of the photos on the new OnePlus when considering an upgrade - because I know FOR SURE that the Pixel line will give really great pictures.
While the Pixel phones are much cheaper they are dated as far as the censors for the camera are concerned and they feel cheaply constructed in my opinion. Sure Google manages to produce great photos considering their dated censors by utilizing their AI but if you really feel the need for that style of photo you can get the gcam apk and produce similar photos on non Pixel phones. OnePlus is always at the forefront of features and development in my opinion while producing a near stock android experience with Oxygen OS and they provide you with the unbrick tool for their device so you can unlock your bootloader and root without worrying about turning your phone into a paperweight.
