OnePlus

The OnePlus 9RT will be a strategic update to the OnePlus 9R that was released earlier this year. Specs and pricing of the sub-premium device have now surfaced ahead of its expected October release, with notable takeaways including both outdated display and RAM.

OnePlus could be launching a refreshed OnePlus 9 RT some time in October. The OnePlus 9 RT is slated to sport similar hardware as the current OnePlus 9R but will feature upgraded cameras such as the 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor. OnePlus 9 RT is also tipped to be the first OnePlus smartphone that would ship with OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12 out of the box.

OnePlus' 2020 flagship 8-series have acquired new updates for their version of Android, OxygenOS 11. It upgrades the phones to compatibility with the OEM's latest TWS earbuds, the Buds Pro, now released to the European market. The OTA also adds the latest software tweaks developed for its brand, its new Bitmoji AOD feature included.

A leaker claims to have found evidence of two new model numbers from OnePlus, that might thus hint at further launch events in the near future. It is possible that one of the devices in question may be planned for 2022, although one might show up sooner. Nevertheless, a reliable source persists in their assertion that it will not be a successor to 2020's 8T.

OnePlus has teased what looks to be a new dual-screen device through its US Twitter account. The device is set to be revealed at the same time as the Samsung Galaxy foldables launch tomorrow.

A well-known leaker claims to have found out that OnePlus is making a new, special-edition version of its first-gen Watch. Unlike the gaming theme of the last, this one is apparently Harry Potter-themed. Then again, availability in only 1 market has been mentioned thus far.

The Nord N200 is one of the cheapest 5G phones sold by OnePlus in the United States. Accordingly, it is made of lower-end materials compared to the flagship of its series. However, it seems this does not necessarily mean the device will do worse in a famous online bend-test.

Google's new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have been hailed for a design that deviates from the current industry norm. Well, it appears that design may not be as novel as thought, as a new leak shows a OnePlus 7 from 2018 that looks identical to the just-revealed Pixel 6.

Recent Weibo posts showing a OnePlus 9 Pro in a new and heretofore unavailable color option have led to confusion on the point of whether the OEM actually intends to release the variant as a limited edition or not. The OEM has had to clarify its status in a new statement.

A new device has gone up in flames, this time the recently launched OnePlus Nord 2. A user has now reported that their wife's Nord 2 "spontaneously" went up in flames while cycling, with OnePlus reaching out a while ago.

OnePlus has released its shipment stats for the first half of 2021 (1H2021). The OEM claims that they have increased by 428% in the US, a greater amount of growth compared to all other brands in that market. This success is based on sales of the Nord N100 and N200 as well as the flagship 9 series.

OnePlus has become linked to a controversy in which its 2021 line of flagship smartphones' version of Android (OxygenOS for the 9 series) was found to "throttle" a slew of popular and often necessary apps such as Chrome, yet unleash full performance in the presence of benchmarks. Now, the OEM has reportedly announced a solution in an upcoming software upgrades.

While the Galaxy S21 series saw Samsung take a step back in some hardware quarters, the Galaxy S22 looks set to be a return to form, with Samsung supposedly already testing competitive charging technology on its next-gen flagship phones that should see them play on a more level field with phones like the upcoming Mi 12 and OnePlus 10 Pro.

The OEM OnePlus has been dropping spec-rich spoilers for its upcoming Nord 2 mid-range smartphone ahead of its launch. The latest in this series of teasers reveals that its battery is equipped with the high-end Warp Charge 65 technology, estimated to re-fill the phone enough to face a new day after just 15 minutes of use.

OnePlus has confirmed that its latest Nord-series smartphone will launch in late July 2021. Now, it has released a trailer for the device that reveals its looks from the back. Meanwhile, a new Geekbench listing might confirm a 12GB RAM option in the new product.

OnePlus has confirmed it will launch a second generation of its popular mid-range Nord smartphone series in July 2021. It launched at ~US$375 for an 8GB RAM SKU in one of its main markets (India); now, however, a blog claims that a Nord 2 with the same spec will pass the $400 mark in the country.

OnePlus has issued a further statement regarding the CPU throttling controversy that has engulfed its flagship OnePlus 9 series smartphones. The latest statement builds on the optimization theme of its initial statement, but also suggests that the performance potential of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 is overkill.

OnePlus has been facing plenty of flak lately because of the whole app-throttling performance and benchmark manipulation issue that the OEM was caught implementing with the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro smartphones. The company has posted a caption challenge to its followers on Twitter, which has somewhat backfired so far.

OnePlus has confirmed several aspects about the Nord 2, the company's next mid-range smartphone. While the Nord 2 will be a 'comprehensive upgrade' compared to the original OnePlus Nord, OnePlus does not plan to sell the Nord 2 in the US.

OnePlus has issued Android 11 Open Beta 11 to the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T. Android 11 and OxygenOS 11 will be the final OS updates for the pair.

OnePlus has responded to claims that it throttles CPU performance in the new OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. The company asserts that it was helping 'to provide a smooth experience while reducing power consumption' based on user feedback, even though it did not tell anyone that it had imposed a per-app CPU performance limit.

Another day arrives with yet another issue of OnePlus messing things up. The company has now been found to be severely throttling browser performance of Chrome, Twitter, and pretty much all popular internet-based apps on the OnePlus 9 Pro. Geekbench considers this to be a form of benchmark manipulation and has now delisted the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro.

OnePlus still sells the vanilla version of its 2021 flagship smartphone, the 9, for US$729 on its official United States website. However, Best Buy offers the same device (unlocked) for as little as $549.99 - so long as it is activated via the chain's website or physical stores on the same day on which it is ordered. Alternatively, it can be had for different discounted prices without this caveat.

A new contender is supposedly planning its entrance into the growing tablet market that is dominated by Apple's iPads. The Chinese brand OnePlus could be a breath of fresh air for Android's ailing tablet segment, which is primarily dominated by Samsung and its Galaxy Tab lineup.

OnePlus has announced several changes for OxygenOS, its custom version of Android. As expected, OxygenOS and Oppo's ColorOS will merge, but this coalescence will yield a few advantages, apparently. However, it seems that OnePlus has forgotten that it used to release three OS updates to its devices. The company has not addressed the lackadaisical approach it currently takes to releasing OS and security patch updates, either.

The OnePlus Nord 2 has shown up online on the AI Benchmark database. Its listing suggests that the smartphone will run a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset and feature 8GB of RAM. This makes the OnePlus Nord 2 the first-ever OnePlus smartphone to run a MediaTek SoC.

OnePlus continues its slide from being one of the best Android OEMs for software support. While the company will upgrade the new Nord CE 5G through to Android 13, the Nord N200 5G will only receive Android 12. Three years of security patch updates are also due, but one OS update is poor.

Following the announcement that OnePlus is completely merging its operations within Oppo, a leaked memo has shed more light on how the arrangement will work. While the merger will still produce OnePlus-branded phones, the company is now a sub-brand within the larger Oppo structure.

OnePlus has released its latest official beta OS versions for its 2020 flagship 8 series against a backdrop of news concerning its integration with its sister OEM OPPO. The announcement may have led to anxiety around losing the popular version of Android in question, OxygenOS. However, a company representative has reportedly confirmed it will keep going in the future - albeit outside China only.

OnePlus launched its new Nord CE 5G smartphone about a week ago now (on June 10, 2021). Nevertheless, reports of not 1 but 2 system updates in quick succession for the device have emerged. The first upgraded its security patch level, whereas the second had camera and general system tweaks.

OnePlus has announced that it is merging its operations with Oppo. The two companies are owned by the same parent company and had already merged their R&D teams five months ago.

OnePlus has announced another Nord smartphone, albeit only for North America. The Nord N200 5G is a cheaper option than the European and Indian-exclusive Nord CE 5G, and its specifications reflect that. The OnePlus Nord N200 5G will retail for US$249.

OnePlus has introduced three new additions to its upper midrange U-series smart TV range in 50, 55, and 65-inch variants. The new U1S series feature largely similar specifications as the previous 55U1 with some features removed to keep costs competitive. The company has also launched the OnePlus TV Camera for video conferencing with Google Duo.

OnePlus has revealed the Nord CE 5G, its latest assault on the mid-range. The Nord CE 5G offers much of what the regular Nord does, but at an even more affordable price. The Nord CE 5G will be available with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.

OnePlus is projected to launch a smartphone with silicon from MediaTek, rather than Qualcomm as usual, later in 2021. Now, the notable tipster Digital Chat Station claims that this phone will have a high-end main camera sensor, as well as an increasingly popular flat display. It may or may not be available internationally on its launch.

According to a new leak, OnePlus is about to join the growing number of smartphone OEMs with its own smart tag. The report asserts that the company has registered a relevant trademark, alongside others for pre-existing products. Therefore, a product to go with that name might launch soon.

OnePlus is geared to release its next mid-range device shortly. The phone in question, the OnePlus Nord CE, will be available on pre-order starting June 11, and details have now leaked. Notable takeaways include a Snapdragon 750G, a 90 Hz FHD+ AMOLED, and a 64 MP main camera.

OnePlus is all set to launch the OnePlus Nord CE 5G on June 10 in India and some European countries. Some of its key specs include a Snapdragon 750G chipset, 64MP triple rear cameras, and a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen that refreshes at 90Hz.

OnePlus has announced a new promotion by which those who buy certain new smartphones in the UK, Germany or France can claim a new Stadia Premiere Edition from Google. The units included in this new deal are those of the new flagship 9 series, the 8 Pro, 8T or mid-range Nord. The OEM asserts that these combos will deliver "powerhouse gaming" for new customers.

The Chinese manufacturer OnePlus has patented an idea for a smart TV that incorporates a rotating pop-up camera in its body. While other companies have already released televisions with static pop-up cameras, this OnePlus smart TV would be able to track a user who was moving around a room or viewing space.

OnePlus India has revealed that it will add a new member to its Y series of smart TVs soon. It has also already confirmed some of its specs ahead of its imminent launch, its 40-inch size, Dolby Audio support and 20W speakers included. It will debut via Flipkart on May 24, 2021.

OnePlus' CEO, Pete Lau, has reportedly told several journalists that his company is planning to launch its smart screens in Europe soon. The OEM now has several TVs to its name, but has yet to sell any of them in that region. However, it now seems to believe that the time to start is at hand,

OnePlus introduced its inaugural smartwatch alongside the flagship 9-series smartphones in March 2021. The OEM also unveiled a special, limited edition of the same wearable with more premium materials, an exclusive cobalt alloy for its case included, at the same time. Now, the company has put this version on the market for the first time in its native China.

OnePlus has finally rolled out the always-on display feature that it advertised for the OnePlus Watch ahead of its launch. The latest update for the much maligned device also includes a new workout, a remote camera function and improves the system UI and stability.

The OnePlus 9 Pro is a 2021 flagship Android phone launched in 3 color choices, one of which evinced the brand's signature Sandstone Black. However, according to the reliable leaker Max J., the OEM once considered a very different new option: Matte White. It also apparently mulled other, glossy finishes for its latest premium devices that ended up never seeing the light of day.

The Nord N100 and N10 5G are OnePlus' foray into the low- and mid-tiers of the smartphone market. Despite this, it has yet to be released in all the regions where the OEM is active. A new leak hints they might be destined for a new launch in India, however.

It seems that OnePlus has gone all LG with its software support for older smartphones. The company has confirmed that the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T will not receive Android 11 Open Beta updates until the end of August, just in time for Android 12's arrival. So much for Never Settle, OnePlus.

OnePlus has released the results for its business in the European region for the first quarter of 2021 (1Q2021). The OEM asserts that sales in this market have increased by 388% compared to 1Q2020, leading to revenues of 286% more year-on-year (YoY). It also claims to be in the top 3 among smartphone brands in multiple countries of this zone.
