You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain




I think the writing has been on the wall since they started their Nord line.

Do you mean because the previous "flagship killer" company now needed a "flagship killer" sub-brand, since they could no longer be categorised as such?

Exactly, why did they end up in a situation where they are making killers of their "main" phones ?

Because all midrange phones are "flagship killers" on a features basis now, flagships are just about the exclusivity. The market has adapted and the term no longer makes much sense. OnePlus still leads on custom ROM support though, e.g. no special codes or waiting times needed for unlocking the bootloader, it all works out of the box with standard commands.

Google Pixel would like to have a word. Though they regressed since they stopped shipping device trees in AOSP.


What was the issue with the Nord line?

yeah, i'd like to know that too. i have a oneplus nord running /e/OS and i am quite happy with it. in fact it's probably the best phone i had so far performance wise (i got it refurbished at a very good price which may have something to do with that though)

OnePlus is a textbook case of that quote
