It’s been a long time since OnePlus could claim to be a budget brand. That ship sailed a long time ago.
I believe the OnePlus 6 and 7 were the last real oneplus phones. Still have my op6 as a backup running lineage OS.
Aw, they’re bad now? I was looking forward to going back to OnePlus when my current phone dies.
I don’t care about ecosystems, they are just a fancy word for vendor lock in
I’m not sure there’s much of an ecosystem. It’s just three products and I don’t think the guy even looked at the budget tablet.
Usually you end up with products from the same manufacturer because there is a package deal or promotion sale. Which is the case now for their earbuds.
Yeah, no. I want too choose my gadgets. I want to pair a garmin watch with sennheiser headphones, running my music from a sony phone or a fairphone. That’s what standards are for.
Most consumers aren’t just buying one of the best Android phones. They’re buying into a mobile ecosystem that includes smartphones and devices like great smartwatches, earbuds, tablets, and laptops.
No? Who does this?
I bought a Pixel watch when my Garmin finally died and got a Pixel phone a few months before that to finally get out of Apple’s ecosystem. I did buy a tablet before that ran Android to make sure I didn’t hate it (and nearly gave up on it because my Amazon Fire Tablet was so shit, but I ended up replacing it with a better tablet), but I couldn’t care less about a pixel tablet or earbuds (well, headphones in my case; I despise earbuds), etc.
I wouldn’t call that a “budget” ecosystem at all. The phone alone is priced at $500 and has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 lol
