Editorialised! No new products, not halts operations. Please be more careful. OnePlus has decided to conclude new product rollouts in Europe and North America. The difference matters for those of us on OnePlus devices: Though we will no longer launch new products in Europe, our commitment to you remains unchanged. Backed by OPPO, existing OnePlus devices will continue to receive scheduled software updates and securit…

Curiosly, they only say this to their European customers. It isn't clear that they plan to continue supporting North American customers.

My last one was 10 pro and battery is essentially dead after 2.5 years of usage. Can't make half of a day, literally unusable, and I'm not a big phone user. Case is made of some really good material, which feels very premium, but runs son fckn hot that you can't hold it in your hands anymore, this is especially true during hot summers, and it got only worse with the last major OS update. This is a heat dissipation is…
