Although I thank you for acknowledging and making this post, I think it came too late. Stable updates are promised within about 2 months, it has been 4 months. The community was built in order to be transparent, people asked about the update but no one ever answered, until this very post.
Not only that, A10 already seemed rushed. There's no EIS for recording, I'm sorry what? The phones that lack OIS can't even support EIS? What about the regular users that don't keep up with technology like this community does? They won't know and their recording experience will drop significantly. Launching A10 to stable without EIS was a horrible idea. It should've continued on as beta as it is broken.
Other issue is, which I can't blame the developers for, is the amount of phones being released. You guys went from 2 phones in 2017 to 3 (6t TMobile) in 2018 to 4 unlocked + carriers + 5g variant in 2019 to now even adding on a Nord lineup. How can the developers support all this? We used to get monthly security patches (although not promised) to bimonthly, that too to end or the next month. Definitely showing signs of slow down.
Oneplus 5/5t got the update about a month after 8 series launched. Since then Nord has launched, you guys have done OEFs which possiblly included future prototypes and a smartwatch, now we're getting rumors for another budget device, N10 and 8T. It's great the company is expanding its reach and accessibility according to price, but what about the people that already purchased a phone? What about supporting them?
Display issues is another, until
@B_Wrath , made a huge thread about it, it wasn't even acknowledged. The display issue has been here since the 7t lineup but took you guys until 2-3 weeks ago to accept it exists.
The company was created with the help of the community, it should continue being transparent to the community. Not making a thread 4 months later for a device you'll very soon stop supporting and delivering a broken A10 build to begin with.
Thanks for reading, I have never been this negative about OnePlus but this year seriously felt like the "community" word the company throws around, doesn't even exist. Hopefully this turns around soon.
