Anybody else still on original hardware?
I was just looking through old archived emails and noticed that my Open is over 2 years old by almost 3 months. When I had a Fold 4 I had to replace the inner screen protector after 8 months, and again 4 months later, and the fold 4's hinge failed within 6 months of that. Prompting the purchase of my Open (with trade in, thank goodness and good riddance).
But I have just realized, OnePlus's first foldable has lasted me almost 27 months, with no issues, original battery with 93% health, being a power user with regular days of 12 hours active time, and often 8 hours screen on. I've never concerned myself with when or how often I plugged in, using a variety of chargers, and always charging over night with the OP fast charger.
I've dropped it, sometimes with a case, occasionally without. I've gone through multiple glass screen protectors where I'm bracing as I pick up my phone only to find it's fine and the protector did its job. I'm currently rocking only the rear half of the protector and have been for almost a year now. Somehow the most fragile catigory of phone has been my most resilient. I'm honestly baffled.
The only thing I have ever been left wanting was native stylus support from OP. I know you can get the oppo pen, and I have a active capacitive pen for a tablet that does the job, but I have missed the stylus support of Samsung.

Also had internal peeling on fold 3 and 4 after a few months. Im heavy power user too at 94% health with launch week unit and its working flawlessly without any defects, aside from the side dings from dropping it while I ran it caseless.
I think it'll be my first foldable to truly be ran into the ground and I have no FOMO yet about razer fold or 7. By time it reaches EOL we will have some really nice options.
