Funny. I'm still on a OnePlus 6 and I see similar bizarre freezes as OP when I open the photo gallery. Or just when starting the camera often I have to wait 15-20s before the phone realizes that I have pictures. Sometimes when swiping through the gallery it will become excessively slow and stop reacting to panning / swiping / zooming.

It's what is driving me close to grabbing a new phone at some point this year.

OnePlus 6T here and finally thinking it's time to step up. My previous phone was the OnePlus 2T so seems right to go up to the 10T now and do every 4 versions.

I've not had anything quite that drastic, but there are definitely a few small niggles I think I'll notice once they're not there. Main reason I think I'll upgrade is the usb port is becoming quite sensitive, it's 50/50 if it likes a particular cable now

They skipped the 4/4T series because of some superstition about the number 4, which makes the 6T 3 years behind 2T

Not fun!

Using a custom ROM? I'm running LineageOS with minimal Google Apps.

No. The OnePlus 6 was my first phone where I really didn't feel like bothering with the hassle of custom ROMs. Back in the HTC Desire and HTC OneX days, while fun, it was always such a gamble what feature might not be working on each ROM. I just wanted to not have to worry about working camera, bluetooth or GPS any longer.

I'm not sure, but does the OnePlus 6 even have good LineageOS support nowadays?

edit: Apparently yes it seems. Wow, maybe I'll give that a try one of these days and see what it's like.
