Good-Bye OnePlus3T

by | Oct 14, 2019 | Technology

So it has finally happened. Almost 3 years ago, I bought a phone which I absolutely loved: the OnePlus3T. Not only was it going strong with no significant battery issues, but it was running Android 9. Android users are all well aware of how you can count your self lucky to have one major Android upgrade during the life of your phone, yet I went through 3 (from Android 6 to 9)!

Unfortunately, my phone met its end yesterday when I dropped it for what was to be the last time. The ink blob on the top left started off quite small and started growing and growing until it covered the whole screen. That, my friends, is the LC in LCD (LIQUID CRYSTAL Display). With it being Thanksgiving weekend, I was totally screwed. No time to order a new OnePlus and in dire need of a phone.

Thankfully my cell phone provider was open on Sunday, so I was able to swing by today to pick up a new phone. Unfortunately, they do not stock the reliable OnePlus brand, so I had to choose another brand. This time I’m giving the Pixel a try.

In any case, this is a good-bye post to a trusty technology partner (after my previous horrible smartphone experiences – I’m looking at you Samsung and Apple + I’ve previously documented my past experiences with smartphones in a previous post). You helped me navigate the traffic-filled roads of Dubai. You were the endless entertainment for the kids and me during long car rides (I’m talking to you 10-hour drive to Montreal). You were the “you’re going to freeze your butt off” morning alerts on those cold Canadian mornings.

OnePlus3T, you will be missed ?
