OP, My mom was on a OnePlus 3T, and has been getting steady updates. The phone still runs very well. I got the OnePlus 6T for her and used it for a few days of compare it to my XS Max. The only reason I upgraded her or because the network we’re on, T-Mobile, has released two new LTE bands that the 3T didn’t support and she wasn’t getting a great signal.
The OnePlus 6T is insanely fast and it’s camera is very good. It’s not as good as the XSMax, Note 9, or Mate 20 Pro, but honestly, it’s more than good enough, and all of those phones have great cameras. We’re lucky enough to live in a time where almost every flagship phone has a great camera and is more than quick enough.
If I lived in EMEA, didn’t have a MacBook (you have Alienware right?), and didn’t have a lot of family and friends on iOS, I would switch if I could get a reasonable price selling the XSMax, or if I was within my return period. The price difference there is simply insane, and as good as the XS Max is, it’s most certainly not that much better, and in some areas, the OnePlus is better.
Personal I like both OS’, but recognize that each has its strengths and weaknesses because I use a MacBook as my primary laptop, and I can afford the XS Max, I’m sticking with that for now.
FWIW, I had the Note 8, and S9+, and they were not as unstable as some others experienced. They had a lot of great features that I really miss. But having the XSMax with a MacBook and an Apple Watch is the best experience for me. Nothing wrong with the others, and I’m paying a hefty price for all of this.
