Surprised BBK/Oppo hasn't pulled them sooner. I still think BBK created OnePlus, to "break out" of the Asian only market. Have a slick salesman (Carl Pei), say you are a poor little startup, with not enough resources to produce enough phones, so you have to have an invite. Create a pretty good phone, with a rock bottom price, compared to what was a "flagship" phone at the time. Slick marketing, user forums and what not. People went nuts for that phone. THEN people found out it was nothing more than a clone of the Oppo Find 7. Oh, and Oppo was the one making the phones. Oh, and OnePlus was owned by BBK electronics.
By the time they got to the 10-11 series, the price/features to me, just weren't worth it especially when you factor trade in value. By now, most users know who BBK is, knows who Oppo is, so from a business standpoint, why bother building (on the inside) which is basically two different phones, versus how many of the OnePlus phones they sell. Just push people into the Oppo phones (if they are allowed in other countries easily).
OnePlus had their run. Their time is over. Had three of them. They were pretty good devices.
First, it's not available in the US, so they need to release it outside China.
Oppo uses MediaTek, and I think Snapdragon is slightly better.
Make sure to use Oxygen OS, instead of Color OS.
Flat screen.
Then I would totally buy one, since they have excellent cameras (still using Hasselblad), and their foldables are good enough for Apple to copy, so I'd rather have the original version.

I would love an Oppo phone. But with caveats:
