    So this is a clickbaity headline – it isn’t happening tomorrow, but it’s a (as of now speculative) movement in progress based on investigation and reports by several analysis and marketing firms, and market trends.

    I don’t editorialise headlines ever but this is a pretty insane claim to make so I did just this once and posted it as Android Headlines has gotten things right in the past. I would suggest reading the article to form your own opinion.

      I’d be interested in your justification for saying it’s a “pretty insane claim to make,” because it doesn’t seem in the least bit far-fetched to me. OnePlus makes good products, but that’s not enough in a business world that practically prides itself upon not playing fairly.

      ETA: 1+ also shot themselves in the foot by becoming the very “bad guy corporation” they established themselves as being against - the latest evidence for which is here. The last OnePlus device I bought was the 7 Pro due to this crap.
