OnePlus

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.

OnePlus has started rolling out an update to its eponymous smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch. While the update fixes numerous issues on the poorly-received device, OnePlus is yet to enable many features that it has advertised.

OnePlus has launched a surprise gaming accessory compatible with both Android smartphones and iPhones. The new Gaming Triggers have been designed to give a more tactile experience, and an advantage, when playing Battle Royale-style multiplayer mobile games.

OnePlus is holding a Spring sale event on its US webstore from April 21 (today) to 27, 2021. It involves a limited-time offer on the 8 Pro, the OEM's 2020 flagship smartphone. It can be had for as little as US$599 during this promotion.

OnePlus released the US$159 OnePlus Watch a while ago. Sadly, though, the watch looks set to be a colossal flop, with reviews consistently panning it for its inability to be good at being, well, a smartwatch at the very least.

The OnePlus 9R was originally presented as a "gaming" alternative variant of the OEM's latest flagship Android smartphone series that was exclusive to India. However, the company has now announced that it is to be available in China as well. The Snapdragon 870-powered device will debut in its new market in mid-April 2021.

The OnePlus 9 Pro has been shipping to people for about a week now, following its elaborate launch and extended marketing campaign. There are already countless complaints from people about their OnePlus 9 Pro handsets overheating, such as recording 4K videos or merely taking photos. OnePlus has already claimed that it is investigating the issue, but it is not a good start for the OnePlus 9 Pro.

Although the brand-new OnePlus 9 Pro flagship is available for purchase from multiple retailers, only the ~US$1,000 model with 12/256 GB of memory/storage can be ordered right now. The version with 8/128 GB is nowhere to be found and there is no official information regarding its date of arrival.

OnePlus has just launched the 9 series of flagship phones. Despite this, it has felt the need to push a software update to the 2 devices already with tweaks for their Hasselblad-branded cameras.

With the OnePlus 9 Pro, the manufacturer has made a great effort to ensure that the battery is quickly full again. It's even supposed to be recharged super fast wirelessly now. We took a look at whether this is true.

Not only has the camera of the OnePlus 9 series been optimized in cooperation with Hasselblad, but a new mode has also been added: Tilt Shift. We took a look at what you can do with it.

OnePlus has contributed to what is already an action-packed day for the mobile device market by releasing its new 9 flagship series in China. It has announced that the 2 phones combined raked in 300 million yuan (nearly US$46 million) in the first 10 seconds of this event. This performance outdoes that of the 8 series this time last year by a considerable margin.
