The first-generation OnePlus Nord is now finally starting to see Android 12, but, at least for now, it’s in the form of OxygenOS Open Beta 1.

High refresh rate displays have been one of the best upgrades to our smartphones over the past few years, and OnePlus was actually one of the first to adopt the technology. However, it appears some apps just can’t use the full refresh rate on OnePlus phones, and the brand’s Android 12 update has broken workarounds.

The budget-focused Nord series from OnePlus is about to pick up another sequel, this time in the OnePlus Nord N20, which is officially kicking off its teaser cycle.

You may already own 2021’s best OnePlus device and are casting an envious glance over at the latest releases. Is there enough of a difference to warrant switching from the OnePlus 9 Pro to the OnePlus 10 Pro? Let’s discuss.

The OnePlus 10 Pro officially made its debut back in January, but the phone was limited to China at first. Today, OnePlus is officially launching the OnePlus 10 Pro globally, with the phone extending to the United States, Europe, India, and other countries around the world.

After a very extended wait, OxygenOS 12 with Android 12 is now rolling out for the T-Mobile versions of the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro in the US.

Charging has always been a focus for OnePlus, with the brand usually having the fastest wired charging speeds of any smartphone sold in the US. This year, the OnePlus 10 Pro ups the ante with 80W charging, but that’s limited to 65W in the United States.

Under Oppo’s roof, the OnePlus launched its 2022 flagship in China all the way back in January without any mention of when it would come to other markets. Soon, that’s changing. The OnePlus 10 Pro will be officially announced for other regions, including the US and Europe, on March 31.

After a brief Open Beta period, the stable OxygenOS update atop Android 12 is now rolling out for the OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, 8T, and the OnePlus 9R.

After launching exclusively in China earlier this year, OnePlus has finally confirmed a launch date for the OnePlus 10 Pro in North America. The phone is apparently set to arrive within the next month.

The future of OnePlus under Oppo’s roof has been largely up in the air, but today OnePlus is finally offering some clarity. In a lengthy forum post, OnePlus’ Pete Lau announced that OxygenOS isn’t going anywhere, and plans to run OnePlus phones on a “unified” ColorOS and OxygenOS merger is no longer coming.

After what has felt like a long wait, OxygenOS 12 is now available in preview form for the OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, and 8T with the release of Open Beta 1.

The OnePlus 10 Pro still has no US release date, but the phone’s release in China is offering plenty of insight into what to expect. Unfortunately, it looks like durability on the OnePlus 10 Pro may not be ideal – a bend test snapped the phone in half.

The OnePlus 10 Pro has now been available in China for well over a month, with no signals yet on when the phone is set to make its debut in global markets. However, OnePlus and Oppo have now expanded on the device, with a OnePlus 10 Pro “Extreme Edition” that comes in a “Panda White” finish.
