I feel the same way. Plus the quality of the phones seem to have gone down. I have a OnePlus 7T and it feels solid. The OS still runs smoothly, I drop it all the time and it doesn’t break, although I have it in a silicon case which I’m sure helps. I got my Mum an 8T and it feels less sturdy. Her screen has some significant scratches, and she is far more careful than I. Given this and the increasing price, I’m also unlikely to get another OnePlus phone.

Back when the OnePlus was originally designed (the original OnePlus 1), you had a flagship killer at half the price. The value proposition was insane, and you got a TON of extra software on top (fingerprint scanner, actually good screen unlock patterns, shortcuts on screen) that were years ahead of other phones. Was great.

Somewhere along the line, things shifted away from custom and starting looking more and more stock, and the value kept diminishing and diminishing. There’s no reason to buy a OnePlus over an iPhone/Samsung now.

I’ve had a OnePlus 1, 2, and 6+. I personally would never get another OnePlus unless things drastically change moving forward.
