Known repair issues
- Merger with Oppo and loss of independent identity. In 2021 OnePlus formally merged its product, R&D, and software teams with Oppo under the BBK Electronics group. Critics argued this reduced OnePlus's ability to set its own repair, software, and sustainability policies independently of Oppo.
- Limited software/parts support windows compared to peers. OnePlus's update and parts-availability commitments have historically lagged behind Samsung, Google, and Fairphone, although the OnePlus 12 series narrowed the gap with a longer support window.
