OnePlus 5 Series Has Reached EOL

OnePlus 5 and 5T are now marked as EOL (End-Of-Life)

The devices received a last build OxygenOS 10.0.1 with September 2020 security patches, OnePlus now announced there won't be any further updates

Sad, but inevitable. The OnePlus 5 was a definite gamechanger for me when it debuted. Especially after coming from a 1st generation LG Stylo.

Not all hope is lost, however. At least it can live on with custom ROMs.

OnePlus 5: thanks for the memories.

I would only consider them EOL the moment OnePlus 6 receives Android 11.
In between I'll use Oxygen Updater one more time then put it to rest (maybe only until my next phone).
I'm not planning to stop using my trusty OnePlus 5 though and will start looking into custom ROMs.
Long live the king!

Yeah same I'm going to consider my OnePlus5 EOL once it develops a hardware fault like a failing battery.

Mine shared a similar fate, last spring. Moved on to a OnePlus 8 soon after.

No wonder I haven't seen you around much lately. My battery's at 2/3rd the capacity now, so might jump to something new soon-ish.

I still visit the forums, just not as often. I'm satisfied with the stable setup on my current device. Might as well stick with what works, right?

And as they say, "nothing lasts forever." It was a good run with the OP5, though. I'll keep in touch.
