Sounds about right. I held onto my 16:9 OnePlus 3 until the battery completely gave out in 2023 or so. It was the perfect size, and I hated the 2:1 ones that came after. Tried a OP Nord N200 for about a week but returned it.
Daily driving the Minimal Phone now. It’s not the highest resolution by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s 4:3 and makes current phones look even skinnier than when I was used to 16:9.




According to the support ticket I put in last week when I saw the first post about this, the bootloader will be unlockable. Or, at least that’s what they said. So here’s hoping we see nice debloated/de-googled ROMs.
At the very least, it should be immediately rootable with Magisk.
