    Many users were buying OpenPlus Pro smartphones solely because of the ability to unlock the bootloader and flash custom ROMs. People value freedom and customization. OpenPlus is shooting itself in the foot.

      Oppo killed and ate OP a long time ago. They’ve just been wearing their skin like a suit up to this point, but their true nature is obvious at this point.

      An increasingly small amount of their userbase cares about that now, its a mainstream device now

          Sadly, at least in the North American market, Google’s Pixel phones are basically the last good phones you can reliably install your own ROM on.

          I also went with a pixel 6a with grafeneos because there are no other good options for me.

          I would have preferred fairphone 6 + calyx but that is on hiatus and I couldn’t wait longer.
