My friend recommended the brand saying he never had a problem with it and it was as fast as the day he got it. My wife got one because her Pixel 3 died (apparently a relatively common thing for that model). Then after my wife got one my friend started complaining about his phone and my wife didn't like her new phone. Then he got a pixel lol. Then I got one. It's a nice phone. The Pixel 3 was my wife's favorite before it died. So 2 years later we ditched the one plus for a new Pixel for her.
It seems like one plus used to be a good brand and maybe my friend had some loyalty still or his phone coincidentally started to slow down right after he recommended it lol
OnePlus got purchased by Oppo, and it hasn't been as special since
The founder left and made "Nothing" phones after Oppo's takeover
Again, OnePlus did not get purchase by Oppo; it was always Oppo, and Carl Pei was a mid-level executive at Oppo when he founded OnePlus.
Then when they finally admitted it and Oppo wanted it to be more profitable, it stopped making decent phones
