Since the beginning of Android I have had phones from Samsung, LG, and HTC. I had my eye on OnePlus since they began, they really piqued my interest at the OP5. However, at that time I was in the middle of a Galaxy phone contract. When the 6T hit my contract ended, but thanks to AC I heard the whispers of the upcoming 7 and held out for it and grabbed the 7 Pro the day of release. OP's build quality now is as good as any I've seen, the performance and battery life are top tier. I'll admit their cameras always seem to fall just short of the top tier, but are no slouch. Oxygen OS is brilliant, every phone I've had previously, I've rooted and ROM'd to eek acceptable performance and battery life out of them. I've not felt the need to root the 7 Pro. It's the best phone I've ever used.
