General Discussion Should I switch to oxygen os?
I have the OnePlus 15 China version and am considering switching to the global ROM. Since there are no local stores available to assist with the process in my area, I plan to do it myself. I have already backed up all data, including photos and WhatsApp, and am ready to proceed.My reasons for switching are as follows: First, I cannot access any AI features on the Chinese ROM. Second, the camera processing on ColorOS China ROM is poor—it over-whitens everything, especially when detecting faces, and the overall optimization is subpar as it is tailored specifically for Chinese users (this is my main motivation). Third, some apps like WhatsApp and Gmail fail to send notifications despite being set to auto-launch. Fourth, accessibility features reset every time the device restarts, which is highly frustrating.I am aware that Netflix may be limited to 480p, but I do not use it anyway. I also know there is no eSIM support, which I do not need. I will ensure OTA updates are available after the switch.Are there any other considerations I should keep in mind? Additionally, is the switch worth it?
