It's a shame OnePlus so stubbornly refuses to implement such a basic feature as a microSD slot. It's not even like it's a space issue, since this is dual-SIM. If this just had that one feature, I'd buy it, since it's an otherwise great phone. But OP themselves tell people to never settle, and I'm not willing to settle on a several hundred dollar phone that doesn't even include a feature many people have been asking for years for, especially when it would probably cost an extra $1-2 to include. This omission is especially ironic considering they are probably the most welcoming OEM to rooting, yet without an SD slot there's no place to store data to keep it from being wiped when unlocking and flashing. So this will be at least the third time I've passed on buying a OP phone because of their absolute refusal to listen to customers.
