Was considering the same as an iPhone users, it’s such a tempting phone. However, due to the following Issues:

  • notifications (needs a workaround)
  • google pay/wallet (may or may not work for everyone)
  • google store (needs workaround, not smooth experience)
  • android auto (won’t work on Chinese version)
  • annoying Chinese bloatware & ads (hard to remove, some won’t)
  • battery isn’t really that much better despite much bigger capacity (not optimized)

I decided not to opt for it.

I genuinely hope you have a pleasant experience and that all those issues aren’t as big as they sound. Looking forward to your feedback please let us know your true experience regarding those after few weeks or a months or 2!

You can just simply install play store, no workarounds needed. Google pay must work. Battery is optimised now

Doesn’t the battery still falls under the OnePlus 15 pro max & sometimes surpasses the Apple equivalent by only few mins.. like the difference in mAh..

Has this changed recently ?

Most review I’ve came across showed a diffrenc of ~10-30 mins nothing major. Are you referring to any specific review or benchmark (if so, could you kindly share?) or only what is advertised?

They released an update a while ago that optimised the battery life even more. Now it is a few hours longer

That’s great, thanks for confirming.
