Being bought out seems to equal corporate death, huh? They haven’t made decent phones for a bit though.
Edit: sems it was a merger in 2021, not a buy out. Still, the company truly died then anyway.
Always has been equal to such. I’ve seen a company I work with change hands three times, and with each time, something dies.
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.
LineageOS works fine on many 1+ devices

Can confirm, just switched to lineageos on a Nord 4, heaps better. The stock os even stutters when opening the app drawer after the android 16 update, lineage doesn’t.
Even running the co-founder himself away, which in retrospect should have been a sign of their enshittification.
(/s bc duh)
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.
They were bought out?
No not really. They were always a subsidiary of Oppo, since the beginning.

They merged in 2021, which is guess isnt necessarily buying them. So you are right. I’ll edit my comment to reflect the truth.
I was gonna say, has always been under bkk or whatever they’re called
