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.

Being bought out seems to equal corporate death, huh?

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

They were bought out?

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.

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

(/s bc duh)
