I don't know why this thread is complaining specifically about Chinese OEMs when Samsung has been doing this for years.
Miss my Oneplus 7 Pro. popup cameras <3
I’ve still kept my 7T pro. Peak Oneplus 🪦
I bought my secondhand OnePlus 6T only last year. Installed Linux on it, and I love it. I'm using it as my daily driver.
Sent from my OnePlus 6T and from my bed
OnePlus is a Chinese company. Anybody who trusted a Chinese company to respect privacy, consumer rights, and ownership freedom is a complete idiot.
FYI: this is CHINA ONLY that they did this. With China being a totalitarianism shithole this was to be expected
Doesn't effect OnePlus 12 thankfully, anyone have info on custom roms for it?
im on the OP12R, but i dont have anything custom on it.
I've been running LineageOS on my OnePlus12 for a few months and it's been pretty solid for me. Good battery life, but the camera app isn't quite as robust. Lineage on Waffle
Last I hear OnePlus was on the verge of collapse. Not because of this, but because of the mismanagement since carl left. It will probably be absorbed into oppo soon enough https://www.androidheadlines.com/exclusive-oneplus-collapse.
At the end of the day the makers of smartphones determine if you can mod their products to their liking or not, and in most cases they really hate it because they want to continue selling phones and make them more difficult to fix without special tools.
How I was then doing fine with a feature phone allowing me to play music and take pictures. That was in 2009.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
