software updates have been lacking, which was the writing on the wall. Rip to a real one.

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.

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.
