It's a bit nice innit.
Though, 10gb ram on any phone is just overkill.

Just because lol

I mean I have a fair chunk of ram on my desktop, but editing and grading 4k has needs...
Candy crush saga will never need such memory, not will having 20 apps running in background.
But ... There are always some who think:
more ram = better, faster phone.
In reality, often is slower by a few nanoseconds.

Would've been better with the 855 in it

Not at all. I remember when they were top of the lot. They still hold 2nd place for constructor championship wins.

Things have changed since then, which is a tragedy. There you go.

Well Stirling Moss hasn't won anything for a long time so does that make him cr@p too ?

No, difference is, he's retired (which makes your point irrelevant)

McLaren haven't quite managed to do much since the hybrid era.

No point me having an opinion that's different from yours but I don't think they did too bad this season.
Certainly an improvement over previous years.

Agreed and that was due to Alonso dragging that dog of a car round.

So they came 6th with 62 points.

Compared to the other 5 you can quite clearly see the failings

Merc 655

Ferrari 571

RBR 419

Renault 122

Haas 93

Anyway, let's just agree they aren't what they were. However, if One Plus wants to link with them, it will please McLaren fans...

I haven't figured out if it's to elevate OnePlus or McLaren yet, but if they (McLaren) benefit from some Chinese money it won't hurt them at all.

Mika, I presume?

Re: Coming soon (but probably not to O2).

Mika Hakkinen. One of the best McLaren F1 drivers of all time.

There were so many "flying finns" to choose from......

Yes but only ONE was given that nickname as far as I recall?
