Why a OnePlus ban could ruin Android phones in the US as we know them

OnePlus has seen better days in the US, but it’s still one of the best alternative brands in the market. Between the cutting-edge hardware and competitive pricing, these Android phones are great rivals to Samsung and Google’s devices.

However, two US lawmakers have reportedly asked the Commerce Department to investigate whether OnePlus phones are sending data to China. This isn’t just potentially bad news for OnePlus; it could also have awful ramifications for US smartphone shoppers.
