Being bought out seems to equal corporate death, huh? They haven't made decent phones for a bit though.

Edit: sems it was a merger in 2021, not a buy out. Still, the company truly died then anyway.

Always has been equal to such. I've seen a company I work with change hands three times, and with each time, something dies.

Yeah, I had multiple one+ phones for years. The last one I got was literally unusable after the first update and customer services was non existent.

Can confirm, just switched to lineageos on a Nord 4, heaps better. The stock os even stutters when opening the app drawer after the android 16 update, lineage doesn't.

No not really. They were always a subsidiary of Oppo, since the beginning.

They merged in 2021, which is guess isnt necessarily buying them. So you are right. I'll edit my comment to reflect the truth.

Even running the co-founder himself away, which in retrospect should have been a sign of their enshittification.

(/s bc duh)

I guess they made decent phones so that oppo had a foothold in western markets, but they got their asses handed to them by xiaomi. The moment xiaomi established themselves I swear oppo started phasing out oneplus. This has been a long time coming.
