If you ask me, OnePlus has been dead for ages imo.

Carl Pei leaving right after the One+ 7 Pro appeared was a giant foreshadowing. The One+ 13 was their last triumph.

As a tech news writer, that is wild to me that you only first heard of OnePlus in 2020. And it was for the previous year's phone, no less!


The OnePlus 7 Pro was released in May 2019, (I got mine in Sept that year). By 2020, the 8 Pro was already released. So if you only heard about the 7 Pro in 2020, you were late to the game. Additionally, as a tech news writer, you should have already been very aware of the OnePlus brand, and all their previous phones.


So basically you have only experienced the last half of OnePlus phones after they had 5G. That's like being a car writer and saying you just now heard of a Tesla for the first time, even though they have been around for almost 2 decades...

Oh, I heard of One+ before, but I was using a Note Edge back then.

My first phone was a Diamond Tel in 1989. What was your first cell phone??

It died when it was pushed out of the market by bigger brands. Like many things, consumers are forced to buy what is available to them. In this case no cellular service was selling them. I know T mobile stopped some years ago as I loved their 10t. I purchased a 15 when I heard they were leaving the market. I refuse to buy Apple, Samsung, or many other brands. So I will have to wait until another brand peaks my interest.
