OnePlus 8 Android 12
Ok I'm about done hearing that the Unlocked variants OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are on Stable versions of android 12 while being stuck with the carrier variant means we probably won't see Android 12 on T-Mobiles OnePlus 8 or 8 Pro until Android 13 drops this is ridiculous thanks T-Mobile!

unlike popular belief… Carriers have little control, and don't touch the code like people think they do. Multiple times OEM(manufacturers) have admitted it, but here in the states we still blame carriers. Ever noticed Google doesn't blame carriers anymore after about a year of them complaining? Why? They did an AOSP project with Sony and found out that carriers DON'T actually delay updates no more than a month in 90% of cases. They only time there is any lengthy delay is where a security flaw was found.
Other OEM's have pushed out their updates on T-Mobile except OnePlus. They chose to update process for T-Mobile. Why would T-Mobile delay 1 manufacturer over all the others they have? Think about it for a second. IF you device is paid off you can actually load the OnePlus version and run it instead of waiting for a T-Mobile version coming out. OnePlus forums will show you how to do it.

yeah i didnt step into the LG world until i think the G7, G8 and then the V60..never ran into any screen burn in issues and im considered a power user..they were pretty solid simple phones to deal with..

Loved everything about the V30 except the screen uniformity issues.

dont get me started on that duel screen for the V60..it was like trying to walk around with a couple of bricks in your pocket..i yanked that thing right off soon as i felt the weight of it..was kind of cool but the weight was just not happening. my vehicle phone holder/charger set up couldnt even keep the thing upright..one small bump and the screen was facing the floor.

Think about it for a second. IF you device is paid off you can actually load the OnePlus version and run it instead of waiting for a T-Mobile version coming out. OnePlus forums will show you how to do it.We do have a space in the support space that talks about the Android 12 update and there we do show that the manufacturer is still working on that update for the OnePlus 8. I worked in tech support for T-Mobile for years and, believe me, we would love all phones to be updated at the same time and everyone to be running the same thing. It makes troubleshooting confusing when phones haven't gotten their updates yet. On the flip side of that, it could lead to disaster if all phones got the update at once because servers that push the updates would not be able to handle that workload. If there were serious bugs with updates and they just pushed it to all phones and then everything crashed for every customer that owned their brand of phone!! Doing things in waves sucks for those that have to wait, but I can totally see why companies want to take the time to do it right or give themselves time to make it right when something goes wrong.
