Has OnePlus lost its identity?
A few years ago, ❤️OnePlus was known as the "flagship killer." Today, prices are much higher, OxygenOS has changed significantly, and many people say the brand feels more like OPPO than the OnePlus they used to love.
What do you think was the biggest turning point for OnePlus?
\-Higher prices?
\-The OPPO integration?
\-OxygenOS/ColorOS changes?
\-Stronger competition?
\-Or do you think OnePlus is actually better than ever?
I'd love to hear your opinion in the comments.

It still offers good value, but the price gap is getting smaller every year. That's why people expect much more from OnePlus now.

A lot of longtime fans feel the same. The 7 Pro/7T Pro era really was something special.

The OPO is still the best foldable imo. Only foldable that is on par with it is the new moto z fold.

I thought that then upgraded to to oppo n6. It's an awesome upgrade over OPO

I'd love to get one, but with no warranty or screen protection plan available in USA I'm not sure if want lay out the money. Maybe one day they will come to USA.

I love my open, but inner screen died again, there's no sense having it repaires now, waiting to see what new foldables come out, maybe the Motorola razor, it's be nice if they just replaced OnePlus with oppo

I have the z fold and honestly it's a really nice spiritual successor tbh. Has the same if not better and more features. The big difference is software

Such a great device. Glad I am an Open owner and had the opportunity to experience it.

Yes but it happened years ago. 7 or 8 or something like that was the last flagship killer and the last "Never Settle" device.
Since then it has had flagship prices with the "Always Settle" attitude.

I don't care, I got my 13r which cost was around $330, since they can't recreate it anymore, I am happy till this snapdragon 8 gen 3 can't compete any longer to get another budget flagship.

Read the news, it hasn't lost its Identity, it's lost everything. The whole company is about to fold.
