I guess they made decent phones so that oppo had a foothold in western markets, but they got their asses handed to them by xiaomi. The moment xiaomi established themselves I swear oppo started phasing out oneplus. This has been a long time coming.

Tom’s hardware are corporate shills and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re overselling a bad situation so that others (intel etc) can also raise prices and have a piece of the pie. Why should only ram manufacturers be the only ones to make a killing.
