sad to see but not unexpected. Picked up a OnePlus 15 last winter to screw around with GameHub since the 15 has a lot of ram and the most recent snapdragon 8 elite. It’s such a solidly designed device with a nice flavor of mostly stock android. software updates have been lacking, which was the writing on the wall. Rip to a real one.

How the mighty have fallen. It's a good piece of hardware, but like most providers their privacy policy was crap and I didn't want to have my metadata constantly fed to a foreign government (seriously, I assume any Chinese-managed, Internet connected software is doing this). They took away the ability to run custom ROMs around OP12, and Pixel with Graphene is pretty fantastic. OP's only features that I still miss are the more attractive UI and Zen mode.

They had subpar software and pretty terrible screens. I think some builds had spyware too sending data to the Chinese

It looks like my next phone will be back to Motorola or maybe Samsung or Google. I’ve been pretty happy with my OnePlus, and it’s not even the flagship. It’s the Nord N30 5G 128GB. It’s been meeting my needs since it launched.

My family and I have been on OnePlus since the beginning, and I just recently got the 15R (which is a beautiful phone, and awesome bang for buck). I've been recycling all my old OnePlus by putting linageOS or AxionOS, and they feel like new again. The alternative Android firmware space is thriving. I just got Android 16 on a Nord N30 5G "Avicii" - it's blazingly fast. Funnily enough, N30 which is close to 6 years old has 12GB of RAM, which is the same as the latest 15R. I'm still a OnePlus flagship killer fanboy

OnePlus basically already went under a few years back. They merged with Oppo, and ever since its just been rebranded Oppo phones... they're fine, they work, but they're not the magic OnePlus was.
