Today, our hearts are undoubtedly heavy and mixed with emotion. As part of the proactive global strategy adjustment, OnePlus has decided to conclude new product rollouts in Europe and North America.

I have a OnePlus 13 and have been largely very happy with it. I just don't care much for Google's and Samsung's skins. I'm hoping my next phone is a Nothing, but they haven't been exactly hitting home runs recently. What other non-google/Samsung phones are even around these days?

    Commedore is back in business, bringing a Linux flip phone on the market. In the root it's blocking social media and browsers. Also about 90% of android apps will work on it. It's tempting, but I don't want to type out messages with an old school numerical keyboard. Also I want a browser on my phone.

    Fairphone has a nice business model. Fair product which has been produced fairly from fairly sourced materials. Price is steap but it's repairable and upgradable and it's OS is de-googled android. The hardware just isn't flagship level. There are more businesses who focus on anti Google. But most of it is still android and lack behind on some level.

    But with the recent exponentially growing evilness of Google I assume Linux phone development will have a nice boost.

    In Europe, maybe. I fully expect the remaining three carriers in the USA (Dish doesn't count, sorry) to start "locking down" their networks again just like they used to, preventing "unauthorized" devices from connecting. It's why they're pushing for eSIM-only devices, so you can't move your SIM around without their okay (and likely a fee).

    you mean, a different company with the same name. that commodore is not back in business. pointing this out because it sets the wrong expectations.

    and it's OS is de-googled android

    that's not true. it does have toogle play, and all the other google components required by license to have that.

    but it has good support for degoogled roms, even eelockable bootloader for safety with supported roms.
