I am another One Plus 5 owner. I love how fast this phone charges and how long the battery life is even when using it constantly. I will replace it with another One Plus product when the time comes for replacement.
The one plugged into the wall - to be fair I use a smart phone grudgingly. I write software... I'm not anti smart phone. I'm just not pro smart phone. I'm pro conversation, pro doing things, pro not caring about things when you're doing other things...
I took a risk and got myself a Cubot - Power from China, I've been very impressed so far. All tye standard shiz you find from expensive companies (fingerprint scanner, 20 megapixel camera etc), 128gb storage and a mighty 6000mah battery capacity meaning I just have to charge it once every 3-4 days with pretty heavy usage. All for €280. Boom!
Got a samsung s9 plus sitting in a box as still using my old s7 edge and iphone x for work which i hate but its a required tool for my work. I also hire a sat phone when required dont see the point in buying one as will not be used enough.
I'm rooted already But ROMs are hard work now due to the A/B partition and the bootloader checks when upgrading. No more flashing straight from TWRP, gotta hook up to a PC now.
Not if you stay on the same security patch I don't think. Ive not looked into fully because it looks far too much hassle but the way I see it if you go up a security patch everything now (bootloader, vendor, rom) all have to match otherwise the phone won't boot. It means hooking up each time and booting into TWRP, flashing your ROM, booting again, then back into TWRP (unsure if this is temp or permanent one) then flashing root. For the first time though I'm running stock and I'm happy with it but it's android, why not tinker?
I could be well off now but after waiting so long (not many ROMs, on a Google phone!) and the process looking more complex I've not been interested since.
