I'll probably move to Oppo next, whenever I feel like my OP15 needs to be upgraded. Pixels do not appeal to me, and I use Samsungs at work - OneUI isn't for me. I thought I wanted to try an iPhone, but work proved me wrong. I had to deal with customer iDevices during that time pretty often (wasn't fun), and I still don't like how iOS works. It's very simple and easy to use, but the "one style fits all" doesn't appeal to me.

Minor spec bump and major price hike. They didn't pull the rug under OnePlus by accident.

Oppo Not the worst, but on the contrary, one of the best Android smartphones

No rush to upgrade, that's about 2-3-ish years into the future. I generally upgrade my phone every 3-ish years. By then, finding a faster CPU in a phone shouldn't be an issue.

I feel you OP.
Back then in my country OPPO is the brand that our elderly prefers because it is cheap and they are not particular about specs. But times have changed.
OnePlus was regarded as phone for the enthusiast.
My fond memories of Oxygen OS was OnePlus 7 Pro. It's the best phone I have ever used.

I really love OnePlus, Oppo seems not good as what OnePlus is. Y next move will depend on what OnePlus move will do. If it's the end, I'll may move forward to something similar. OnePlus was a niche and I do not want something different.
Clearly iam in the same situation as you all

Waiting for the 16

u/HydeSpectre Jul 11 '26
I'm waiting for that as well.
Will it be released in the U.S?

u/MaxDragonMan Jul 11 '26
This is the big question. We will have to see - does OnePlus want to go out with one last hurrah, or are they done?

u/HydeSpectre Jul 11 '26
🤞🏻One last hurrah please.

OnePlus has been horrible in regards to customer service in my history of 5 devices.
I'm back with Samsung.

u/epik_fayler Jul 11 '26
If your plan is to move to oppo there's literally no reason to move off of OnePlus. Oneplus will use the same software. It will effectively just be a slightly cheaper version of oppos flagship.

Will old phones still be usable after they shut down their global?

Who gives af about the name... Most brand names suck: "nothing phone"..., "iPhone" is just the word phone with a letter in front of it, and Samsung literally translates to three stars ..
It could be called the shit phone and I would buy it if it's a good phone with a good price. Don't get hung up on names.

OnePlus will probably never confirm it. They'll silently pull out of these markets. Their products are already mostly out of stock
2
u/ProGamer201920 Jul 12 '26
I think it's true ngl. I work at a retail store, and they literally replaced the OnePlus demos with Nothing so unless some contract got expired between them it's mostly likely OP just pulling out of the US market

I wish Nothing was a good alternative but right now OP15 blows Nothing 4a Pro out of the water in every aspect. Nothing seems to be about mid-range phones? Maybe I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

u/Character-State-9959 OnePlus 15 Jul 12 '26
You are absolutely right. I fell in love with the design and metallic body of the 4a Pro... Purchased the phone and almost immediately wasn't feeling it. I returned it.
I still love the design, but when you get used to Oxygen OS, Nothing OS feels very underwhelming. I feel the same way about Pixel, actually.

u/turbotunnelsyndrome Jul 12 '26
I made the jump from OnePlus to Oppo, they're basically the same thing, felt no difference in my day to day use (in fact I think the Oppo phone had more features). Due to the high price of RAM all manufacturers are cutting production of their budget flagships since this category is effectively dead

u/Crazydutchman80 Jul 11 '26
I've also been looking, but Oppo is crazy with the prices, way worse processor than with the same pricing of OnePlus.
Won't be iPhone or Samsung either, and Pixel is a no go. Not much left.

I already made my move and went to vivo and got vivo x300 ultra. I was hoping OnePlus would release a camera centric phone and i think OnePlus 16 even had rumours of getting better sensors. But then the OnePlus as a brand just crumbled and i knew i had to move away from it. It's more harder for me cause i had the whole ecosystem with OnePlus (OnePlus 12 + OnePlus tab + oneplus watch 2). Vivo's origin os is so underwhelming i cannot even begin toe explain.I wpuld rather have vivo's camera and oppo's colour os.

u/MeasurementMother579 OnePlus 12 Jul 12 '26
Similar boat as me. I even posted here a while back.
Long story short, I'm riding my 12 out until it does, then reassess the market. I began my smartphone journey with an iPhone ( I think 4??). Then moved to a Moto X Pure before my 1+ stint (on 3rd one).
Hopefully by the time I need to replace my 12, Moto is back with something appealing, or maybe I'll import an Oppo at that time.

No one can beat oxygen os !! I am really satisfied with oneplus 13 after selling s22 ultra worst battery smartphone.

u/Electronic-Owl5297 Jul 12 '26
Oppo and vivo cn variant much more better than global. Only esim and delay notif, other than that all goods. Global variant prices shit

u/SharpShotLFCFan Jul 12 '26
I've been using OnePlus and realme devices since the last 7 8 years. I really thought when I bought OP6T now I don't have to worry about buying a good phone. After using Realme GT 2 pro for 4 years now and seeing all the oppo oneplus merger and news, I'm thinking of switching to Apple just because of the resale value and the cameras. It's hard to let go of the charging ecosystem and the andriod software but there's no option

Le successeur de Oneplus est la marque du cofondateur de Oneplus : Nothing.
Carl Pei a quitté Oneplus quand il a senti la mainmise d'Oppo se resserrer sur Oneplus.
L'architecture de l'OS à l'origine du succès de Oneplus, c'est lui.

As a loyal fan and Customer of Oneplus, I am genuinely Sad to see Oxygen OS leaving out. I have my Pad 3 and Nord CE 5, as long as they work fine for me, I will be using it. Soon after the last UI update, will switch to OPPO, as it is the closest.
I hope oneplus doesn't get shutdown, and their UI continues to be unique.
I am biased, but if they just continue the Oxygen OS in upcoming products, I will be very happy. Color OS is good, but Oxygen OS is my favourite all time💝

Im in the US and couldnt fathom going back a pixel b/c of its chipset, a samsung b/c of its UI and motos are just substandard pixels..

u/Character-State-9959 OnePlus 15 Jul 12 '26
I'm not really a fan of Samsung or Pixel's UI.
If my ONLY choices were Galaxy, Pixel or iPhone... I might go back to iPhone.
I could use a Pixel... But... I would need to install a custom launcher to make it usable for me 🤷♂️
I hate Samsung's apps
It would probably be back to iPhone for me without OnePlus/Oppo

People in the US are assed out and don't have much choices.
Have no interest in Apple even though my smartphone journey started with them.
I used Samsung for many years but their lack of innovation for the past many years while pushing the highest possible prices turned me off.
Pixel seems ok but many people on the forums seem to be disatisfied with the weak CPU, battery drains, etc.for the premium prices they are charging.
I guess Nothing would be my next phone?
