Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can produce anything you want out of lossless file. Other way around? Not so much

That’s true. But that still doesn’t mean that these “audiophiles” aren’t full of themselves

The Pixel is the closest. The reason you don't see long term support on Android is because of Qualcomm. Qualcomm wants manufacturers to build on new chips, so they deprecate older chips and stop support. Most manufacturers don't want to hire kernel and hardware devs. Samsung can pull off longer support because of Exynos and they have a lot of inhouse expertise to extend support on old Qualcomm chips. It's all money.…

Quite not true. LOS does not need to hack kernal of all deprecated chips to update everything to much higher android ver. There are no reasons manufacturer can't do that. It's a choice made by manufacturer not Qualcomm.

OnePlus is pretty close to stock. Very fast, very good battery. It's the only Android I've loved before switching to iPhone. I have a Samsung and a OnePlus 5T bought in the same period (around 5 years ago). The OnePlus still rocks 1 day battery with medium usage, while the Samsung is dead in a couple of hours.

If your experience with OnePlus is from OnePlus 5T times, I have some bad news for you..

That's sad to hear. I had the One, the 3T (both sold) and still having the 5T. They were all great phones.
