I'm on my 5th year with my Oneplus 6.
I suspect I'd I do a full wipe, a new OS and a fresh battery I should be able to keep it going for a couple more.
Phones plateaued for me. It runs fast. It holds more then enough data.
Camera is a little slow. I've been told to stop using the default camera app. But then the double click to open won't work.
Same, running a xiaomi mi 6 since early 2018 with LineageOS and it's still perfect for me. Sure, new phones have better cameras and screen but the difference is not that noticeable. I'm using a google camera app so that improves the pictures significantly so that compensates for my needs
This is exactly what I did on my OP7 (only 4 years old). A new battery, a new USB port and a new back (thank you OnePlus for the back in glass).
I installed another ROM... And the only drawback on that "brand new" phone is that the camera is slow and not as good than the stock one ( even with Gcam or others derivative).
Yep, Oneplus 5 with 6 years in use here.
Battery time is a little shorter but still enough for a whole day of intensive use.
Phone cameras have gotten better in the last years for sure but if I really want to make good pictures I use a DSLR.
I'm going on 4ish years with a OnePlus 9, and the battery is starting to shit out so bad
