                            This OS matter is why I came from Samsung Smartphone hater to Samsung Smartphone (only) user now. I am not fanboy, just a user.

                              "The versions of OxygenOS 11 that were tested were not vulnerable. As such, we consider the issue to have been introduced as part of OxygenOS 12, released in 2021."
                              Way to go, OnePlus.

OnePlus should be thanking the person who discovered the flaw and protecting customers as soon as possible. What it did was ignore the flaw until there was a risk to its reputation. Say what you like about Google, Samsung and Apple, but they are far more responsive.

                                        This is exatly why the promise of security updates in itself doesn't matter at all. OnePlus could say they "promise" whatever many years of security updates and I would still trust companies with good track record like in Apple or Samsung more than these guys.
