What Should OnePlus Learn From Its Previous Mistakes?

While OnePlus 9 was the most awaited phone of 2021, with the best specifications but it failed to live up to the general expectation of a OnePlus flagship device.

Here are some of the mistakes OnePlus should avoid, for its future flagship devices.

• Camera performance: While Hasselblad did turn out to be a good camera partner. But the processing of images is still has turned out to be poor.

• Over-heating problems: This could be due to the Snapdragon 888 processor. However, a report by AndroidPolice, believe that the issue is caused by the phone's software, and that would mean that a software update could fix it eventually.

• Terrible software support: It is worthy noting that as new phones arrive, older flagships phones by OnePlus stop receiving security updates for several months.

• Poor battery performance :While the 4500mAh battery size seems decent enough for a modern phone, but with high refresh rate display it proves a big challenge.
