Another con: the optical fingerprint sensor is positioned too low compared to competitors.

I’ve only tried ultrasonic sensors on older phones (like the Galaxy S20 Ultra), and they were terrible. Since then, all my phones have had optical sensors, which I find fast and reliable. Are ultrasonic sensors better now?

They’ve improved a lot. The sensors are bigger and more affordable now, which is why many phones are switching to them.

Why is throttling considered a downside? It prevents overheating and improves power efficiency and battery life. Even with throttling, the performance should be more than sufficient.

An overlooked downside: even though it’s a flagship, it uses Gorilla Glass 7i instead of Victus or Victus 2.

You can still import a OnePlus if you want.

You could just ship it back. Import shops often have partnerships with repair centers, like Trading Shenzhen in Europe.
