Using OnePlus One in 2018
Year 2018. Inspired by Erica Griffin to take the challenge to use one of the older generation phones today. I've chosen to use the OnePlus One. By far my most fav phone to date overall. Before that i want to cover the latest handset i'm using as my daily driver. They are Samsung Galaxy S8 and Iphone 8.
Starting with Samsung Galaxy S8, i find it very slippery. After a couple of slips and drops i finally decided to paste a screen protector and silicon cover. What i love about this phone is the camera be it night or day the picture turns up better than all of my other phones to date which includes the Iphone 8 which i will talk about later. In terms of software performance, it is finally light weight enough for me but the bixby is of no use for me at the moment. I've tried it a few times but am still not used it. With my job constantly exposes me to splashes of water the waterproof feature is very useful for me. I no longer need to worry my mobile phone got wet during work. Battery life is average as i still need to charge during the day occasionally.
Satisfaction rating 4 out of 5
Next iphone 8, not much have change in terms of using and iphone the experience is usually seamless when switching from the older generation to the other so i'm just gonna talk about what have improve for my usage. Battery life iphone 8 have the best battery life i've got on an iphone or android phone.. constantly i manage to use the phone without charging while at work.. only need to charge when i get home more then 8 hours later. Other than that, the iphone 8 is of course faster than the older generation iphones but sometime this is not so obvious. Well That's all i have to say about iphone 8. Satisfaction 3.5 out of 5.
Now the review on using Oneplus One in 2018. I was especting a lagging software experience as a lot of new apps are uses more ram and requires more processing power in general to run.. but to my surprise my oneplus one still able to go through my daily usage like a breeze as if it hasn't age. Since cyanogenmod no longer exist.. and oxygen OS last update was in 2015, i've opted to flash in the latest LineageOS version for this test. This phone is still able to last me at least throughout the time i'm in office so battery life is still awesome on this phone. So overall still standing strong good enough to use if anyone still wants to use it... for me i missed the fingerprint scanner to unlock my phone so sorry Oneplus One, i'm going back to my S8 for now. Till the next phone comes along. Rating 3 out of 5
It's been a long time since my last blog perhaps i should continue this again. Feels good to write down my thoughts. Been fun take everyone!
