I don't know why this thread is complaining specifically about Chinese OEMs when Samsung has been doing this for years.

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

I also own a 6T as my main phone, but it seems LineageOS support had ended :(

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

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

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.

so does that mean we're done with OnePlus?

[–] pulsey@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

Havent we for a while?

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I personally never trusted Chinese phone no matter how good they were.

Ironically, the best phones for security and privacy are Google's Pixel phones because they're the only ones that GrapheneOS supports
