It's a bit odd that you've not mentioned that OnePlus is closing its operations here in Europe. They've already fired and closed their office here in Denmark.
QuoteTypically, a OnePlus 15 should receive security updates for six years.
If even in 2026, devices with A78 cores come out and get 6 years of software support. Imagine how long devices with cores in this Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 would get based on that? Someone wants to calculate that (ignore battery life as an argument not to give more than 6 years)? EU, time to be useful again and force makers to offer at least 1-2 models with extended 10 years of software support and easily replaceable battery.
PS: Dumb anti-spam protection doesn't allow posting when the word "ph()nes" (replaced the 0 with ()) or "smartph()nes" was used, so I used "devices".
