    It’s literally just the OnePlus business model from scratch and people are eating up like it’s new as if they won’t be hating the brand 5 years from now. The founder is even the exact same guy. I don’t get how people are falling for it a second time.

      i don’t think that’s necessarily falling for it, it’s appreciating it for what it is. i personally don’t see the nothing as equivalent to oneplus[1], but if it was the modern equivalent to the op1 or op3 i think it’d be worth getting. i have no brand loyalty to 1+ (i doubt i’ll ever buy another 1+ phone) but damn if the op1 wasn’t the best value for money phone i ever bought.


      1. the only similarity is the “close-to-stock” rom as far as i can see, and oneplus didn’t even do that until all the issues with cyanogen ↩︎
