  1. OnePlus 8(Glacial Green)- I’d never switch unless there’s a massmarket foldable. I strongly believe that the OnePlus 8 Pro was peak rectangular slab phone and every other slab phone that came after it(from any OEM) isn’t really an upgrade. I went with the 8 only because of the Pro’s size.

  2. 1More Colorbuds - I just fell in love with the Mint Green colour. What’ll make me switch? Nothing 😛

    In all seriousness, what I didn’t like about the 1More buds is that the build is flimsy and the bluetooth range isn’t that great.

  3. Waiting for a watch with the new Wear OS and Snapdragon Wear 4100/4100+. I’d want a great build, the new wear OS, 4100, 1+ day battery life, good quality sensors (I really don’t need an OEM to compromise on existing sensor quality just to add an EKG sensor, glucose sensor or something).

      How do you find the OP Watch without all the Google functionality? I use a TicWatch Pro 3 and won a OP Watch from one of the forum things, but I was left a little underwhelmed from a software POV (basically not being able to use any of the apps that I wanted to). Design and build wise I think its brilliant, not quite sold on the strap mechanics as it’s fiddly.

        So I didn’t pay for my watch. I won it in a contest. Functionality wise it doesn’t do much. The design is beautiful. Believe it it not, I do like that it doesn’t have much function lol. I have enough gadgets. I don’t need my watch to take up more of my time lol. I like that it just feeds off my phone’s notifications and that’s that.

          which features would move me to my which features would move me to change my headphones would be very good operation, good noice canceling without feeling of pressure, true wireless, operation freely adjustable, good sound and juicy bass

          I use a OnePlus 7T, running Android 11. It handles the daily tasks and light gaming, and I’m in love with its CMF 😘.

          I use the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z, due to the great battery life and the middle ground between wired and TWS earphones.

          A Fossil Gen 5 smartwatch, because I love its design 😉

            I turned on my iPhone 5S a few days ago, and was shocked to see that a software update was available with security updates and bug fixes 😋. Apple’s software support is mind-blowing.
            The phone’s battery, however, was on the verge of dying.
            P.S - it fell on the ground and the battery percentage increased from 20% to 43% in front of my eyes. Is it charging itself with potential energy 🤣?

            I was very tempted by a Fossil Smartwatch yesterday… since they’re having a big sale at the moment - are you happy with the 5? Does it do everything you want it to?

              Rob ⚡️
              Everything works pretty well, however the battery life is on the lesser side 😉
              Charging time is also not that low.
              Except that, its pretty well, but you can wait for the Samsung’s event - it has some promising leaks for the watch, especially the OS.

                Yash

                Haha OK, I’ll take your advice - Samsung has some of the more compelling smartwatch options on the market anyway - so I’m excited to see some new ones!

                Now that it’s been some time, I wonder if you’re still using your watch? I also won my OP Watch in a contest (perhaps it was the same one you won it?). I’d be keen to get your thoughts on the device now that a few months have passed and, assuming, updates have been issued on it to make it a bit better?

                  Louis ☕️ the navigation update is sweet. The watch has very minimal function, but it just so happens that those functions are all I use my watch for. I basically use it when I’m going out. I don’t really use it in the house unless I’m doing at home workouts and I want to monitor my heart rate. I also use it randomly to check my blood oxygen levels and monitor my sleep from time to time.

                    My current daily driver is the Snapdragon Insiders phone. The device is a power house and received a 133 DXO camera score and a 77 DXO audio score. Has 512 GB of storage and 16 GB of ram lol.

                    Thanks for the update on this. Interesting to get someone’s view on it. I agree that it is a great watch to minimal functionality, which definitely suits a lot of people. I think for me, if it added more 3rd party app features then it would probably be my go to watch also, as it does look really nice!

                      Louis ☕️ Think of that watch as a notification hub for your phone. The watch doesn’t really do much, that’s how it can get 2 weeks of battery life. It’s literally only an accessory for your phone. Nothing else.

                      The things I use atm:

                      1. Galaxy S20u
                      2. Sony WH-1000XM4 / Nothing Ear(1)
                      3. Galaxy Watch 4 classic

                      Next year I will probably upgrade my phone to S22u unless HTC will bring back a new phone… 😂

                      No other headphones beats my Sony in ANC. So no need to upgrade that. Maybe the new black ear(1) to upgrade my white ones. Depends if I won them too. 😅

                      Just got my Smartwatch this year so no upgrade needed.

                      I somehow missed this post!

                      1. Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro

                      2. Ear 1 B/W

                      3. XIAOMI Mi Watch (The round one)

                      I would replace my phone only, if it’s really needed. (I replaced my Oneplus One 2019 😄) It runs everything super smooth (games, apps, etc) and it’s expected to get at least one new major version next year. I’m also able to use it for up to 1 ½ days depending on what I do and that’s more than enough for me.

                      Same goes for my watch. It doesn’t has all the Google stuff like @Antonio_Luis’s Watch, so no new apps etc, but it runs straight for around 2 weeks and the main use cases for me are: Time, Stopwatch and “Light”. Sure pulse, sleep data and such is a nice gimmick, but not necessary as I use my phone for everything else.

                        Kastello Awh huge respect for using that OPO for so long! Mine is still in a drawer somewhere 🤔

                        Glad to see this thread back in action! It’s great to see all the unique combinations of tech people use everyday.
