My device

I have used a OnePlus 7 GM-1901 256 GB storage 8 GB RAM mobile phone with a Snapdragon 855 Octa-core processor. This ran android 12 earlier.

Why OnePlus 7?

1. It was on the Nethunter recommended hardware list

2. It was easily available.

3. I already had an OnePlus 7 and was happy with the service
   and assistance. My device bricked once and i went to the
   oneplus service center to get it fixed and they fixed the
   software for free.

4. It was one of the affordable phones in the pre used
   market.

5. The device firmware was provided by OnePlus Community.
