          Just dont buy Chinese phones, period. I live in China myself ( i'm from Europe ) and using Samsung only. No spying software and made in South Korea. I would never never buy any sh*tty brand like oppo. after one yer you will never gat any update from cheap chinese manufacturers because they release hundreds of models each year.

            kupfernigk, 17 Oct 2020What is the "CCP"? For some reason right wing Am... moreActually, CCP is much more commonly known moniker than CPC in the western world. The former is used almost exclusively in English language publications of all political and economic persuasions. Effectively they're interchangeable terms throughout all common polite and knowledgeable sources. Bit like "Republican" and "GOP", or "ISIS" and "ISIL".

            Oh, and most English language publications controlled by the CCP, refer to it as "Beijing" anyway (using the Chinese capital city's name as representative of China's government), not the "CPC" - Are they ignorant too and to be ignored lol? You need to be careful what you say, your argument could be viewed as encouraging disunity.

            Must say, people who desperately write diversionary comments to try to distract from the facts ultimately betray their own fear and insecurity to the world. But there's no need to be. Just understand that the CCP is on an evolutionary track - It's not made of stone, but flesh and blood. It's not the same CCP that mis-stepped with the Great Leap Forward, or the Cultural Revolution. It's even moved beyond the CCP that plugged China into the world trade system in the 80s. We can all see how much the CCP has developed China economically and celebrate With it. At some stage the missteps that still happen now will also disappear, with time, because history is dynamic and human progress is only possible with altruism outweighing selfishness, and we Have to believe we will continue to progress.

              Good riddance, he's the typical corporate scumbag with zero moral and dignity. Won't forget the 3.5mm jack poll where 70% of their user base wanted it, then they deleted the poll and removed the jack anyway. Disgusting. And people who buy from companies like this have zero self-respect.

                  Oneplus positioning is shifted with Oppo recently, tbh. in 2020 I rather get an Oppo than an Oneplus. colorOS is getting cleaner and OxygenOS become too customized.

Technoaltar has a video about this topic with the likes of oneplus. Oneplus is now slowly building brand recognition and brand identity. before oneplus kept changing their design philosophy each generation from op1 series to op7 series. When i saw the redesign of the brand logo i knew from that point on oneplus is moving forward, slowly becoming like samsung. When i saw the new phones now they had a new identity. i am not gonna lie they are slowly becoming like the other bbk brands like oppo vivo and realme. the only difference being that oneplus is the more refined brand, oneplus even gets good software support about 3 years, they dont sell phones at crazy mass volume like the other bbk brands with the likes of their super cheap phones.

I feel no obligation to call them by their officially translated English name. Also, many people probably associate CCP with the Cyrillic initials of the Soviet Union, CCCP, a former communist entity just as evil.

                                  OnePlus will end up selling phones high prices, no one will be able to afford during the pandemic when people are losing their jobs, they care about the company more than people livelihoods. It's a disaster waiting to happen when, they will lose profits, the end of OnePlus is just the beginning.

                                    For some reason right wing Americans always get the title wrong - it's the CPC, Communist Party of China. I find it easiest simply to discount and disbelieve any post anywhere that makes this basic mistake, because it shows the author hasn't a clue.

                                        he didn't leave his company because the company is pricing phones so high, they were always planning to reach the top to compete with the big dogs, carl included.
