Hi there, I'm still using a OnePlus 7 Pro as my daily driver, using a Custom rom (YAAP) and the phone is still going strong. But after 7 years, I feel it's time to get a new phone.

What I care about most: a responsive phone that is going to last a long time, good battery, good enough camera, and possibility to install custom roms in the future. When looking at the second hand prices In the UK, I've narrowed it down to two phones, at roughly the same price: OnePlus 13 or Google Pixel 10 Pro.

The Pixel line is known for GrapheneOS, but it seems the OnePlus 13 has a decent community around LineageOS.

What do you think? Any advice for one phone or the other, or perhaps another option I haven't considered?

Thanks for all your advice! I agree the Fairphone is a good option, but I'm not sure I could deal with the lower specs. PostmarketOS is tempting for the future, but it looks like it would need a bit more work until we get there.

To be honest, I think the only one that matters is the cameras, primarily the lack of a zoom lens. The performance is excellent unless you want to do things like Switch or PC emulation (in that case, the OP13 is a no brainer, why are you even considering the Pixel). I also just think the modularity and repairable aspect of it is so awesome!

PostmarketOS is tempting for the future, but it looks like it would need a bit more work until we get there.

And you'll be keeping the phone for a long while, so something that also supports pmOS (like the Fairphone) could make it useful once it is no longer receiving Android updates!
