I have a OnePlus 5 (a device from 2017) that's suffering the same fate. The hardware itself is fine. It has 6 gigabytes of RAM and a SoC that's fast enough that I don't notice any slowdowns in day to day usage. Yet the officially supported software by the manufacturer has been abandoned two years ago. I'm currently running LineageOS, and the phone is working as good as ever. Running a modern version of Android with monthly security patches.
It's a shame that expensive devices nowadays are made to be disposable. After getting a battery replacement, this phone is ready to go for a few more years at least. SoCs have gotten so good that even a half a decade old chip will perform well for the vast majority of users that don't play big games on their phones. It's not like you need a supercomputer to browse social media, websites and use maps for navigation.
