I was considering one years and years ago until they announced a partnership with… Facebook, iirc?
I had not heard of that and wasn’t able to find an article about it, do you have a link you could share?
There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. How are they these days?
OnePlus was bought by Oppo and doesn’t do cool stuff it used to like giving custom ROM devs free devices. They also tried to make themselves the only repairers of OnePlus phones by making the MSM tool (hardware level device restore, meaning the phones are unbrickable) that a OnePlus employee leaked at one point no longer work on newer devices after OnePlus 9 Pro. Except the OnePlus community got the newer Oppo EDL DownloadTool working anyway, so same difference.
AFAIK, OnePlus still sells some of the best hardware you can get for Android phones.

Unfortunately they make some baffling decisions from phone to phone, adding good features on one model and dropping it the next. I believe their current flagship doesn’t have wireless charging, which I don’t use often but is a nice feature to have, and pretty much standard on all but the most budget of brands
I can see why some people might like wireless charging, but because it degrades battery life, it’s not something I’m interested in (I generally avoid wireless devices like mice and headphones, I’m not a fan of disposable electronics).
OTOH, OnePlus’s warp charging is some of the fastest in the industry. Sure, it’s not for everyone, but in terms of things OnePlus does do, it seems to do well.
