I have a OnePlus 5. The final update that the manufacurer left the device on is shamefully bad. It was buggy, slower than previous versions, had an ancient security patch when it was released, and to make things worse OnePlus kept promising they would fix everything until the three year support period ended. Then they basically told everyone to go fuck themselves. I'm now using Android Ice Cold Proyect rom (www.aicp-rom.com) and it's been great. The latest version of Android runs snappily and with the Google Camera installed even the camera is better than ever. I receive weekly patches and my phone works better than before. Kudos to all AICP and Lineage OS developers for making better software than the manufacturer itself. And fuck you OnePlus for screwing over every OnePlus 5/5T owner with your garbage Android 10 build. Never buying a OnePlus phone again.

It really seems like they're currently doing the same thing to 6/6T owners, trying to run out the clock before they eventually release Android 11. Based on reports from those with newer 1+ phones, I'm not sure I'd want to upgrade anyway. I'm already annoyed that they broke hiding the notch in A10 and that's a pretty minor bug compared to some of the ones others are dealing with.

  I've got a 6T and wondered what you meant by breaking the notch hiding feature?

    In Android 9, hiding the notch would black out the screen around the notch but put the status icons on the same level as the notch [0]. In 10, hiding the notch just drops the top of the screen below the notch and pushes the status icons down [1], essentially throwing away 1/4" of screen real estate.
