Yup. And if you wait two years it will be even lower. Just keep waiting. Hey the galaxy s5 is around $20 right now.
As an American I would be more worried about my information going to an American company than a Chinese one
Will be 299 soon

Quote from FreePasta :
I think this is more of a "don't buy phones in China" thing. As the article says -

"One thing to note here is that the researchers tested the Chinese versions of the Xiaomi, Realme, and OnePlus smartphones, meaning the results do not directly affect smartphone users outside of China."

Even iPhones sold in China have some data privacy concerns: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/05...ina-icloud
There should be a tech FDA for US I hope

Got in on the last deal. Loving the 12R (128GB) over my former pixel 6A. The screen is great, processor is fast, and charging is crazy fast.

OP buds are terrible. You barely feel noise cancelation and sound quality is significantly below SoundCore buds with similar features. They also use the oval shaped ear tips that are more difficult to find replacements for.
they are probably the best 0$ true wireless earbuds on the market,

I ordered a Oneplus 12 on 3/2/24. Tracking stopped on 3/9/24. Sent inquires and chats to incompetent employees who had trouble with english and said that they showed I had received the phone. I suggested they look at their own website and the USPS tracking which shows that no delivery has been made. They acted like this was my problem and not their problem. They referenced some form they called MPS and said I needed to complete it without telling me what it was for or providing it. The agents have American names like Sandra Smith and Carl Roy.

I've wasted at least 3 hours on chats and responding to emails. Finally I came to my senses and filed a dispute with my credit card company.

I ended up buying a Pixel 8 and am likely done with Oneplus. I've had 6 previous Oneplus devices and have been pleased with them. If you do stay with Oneplus I would suggest you order from Amazon and Best Buy or another reputable seller. I just decided if I ended up having issues with the phone I would have an equally difficult time trying to get Oneplus to take corrective action in a timely manner. 26 days and no resolution is a problem no one wants to deal with.

The S5 was the first great phone from Samsung. It had a user replaceable battery too.

Let me repeat: Don't buy any cellphone from Chinese manufacturers. Just like you don't buy cellphones designed by Russia and north Korea. Thank me later.

You're getting brainwashed. The smart move is to avoid buying a phone from where you live, so the government can't snoop on you and throw you in the slammer. If you're in the US, watch out for the CIA or NSA knocking on your door. China and Russia? They can't touch me. I'm cool with throwing them some cash.

This or the Samsung S3 for 299, best buy deal.
Need to go through hoops to unlock and cancel the ATT service once I get the S3 tomorrow.

Is this better than the S3 deal??

With my OP8 I felt more comfortable with it since the custom rom scene was pretty robust and from that perspective are likely more secure than the stock stuff. I still have that phone on a pretty stable, but outdated version of Evolution X since development stopped and I don't want to redo everything. Either way, phone still works great, but now I require root with Magisk to get Wallet and banking apps working.

Anyway, I hear the OP custom rom scene has been pretty poor post-OP9 which is a shame. However, I do agree, not like China or Russia is going to care about me, but the US government is a different story.

It's not really possible to find them anymore. A few years back you could find them sold on eBay and the like. I think there used to be many community colleges that would issue emails to people who just signed up without paying or enrolling in classes, which people would then resell. They've now since closed those loopholes. In short, not going to find anything legit.

Unless you traded in a specific phone and got more than $100, no you don't have to send anything. I think they even tell you to just recycle it yourself as an option.
