OnePlus

OnePlus has spent the better part of a decade building its reputation on two thing: the best specs and the lowest prices. Over time, the latter has been eroded away a bit, and OnePlus also introduced its “Pro” lineup that, well, creates a device that directly goes against the “Never Settle” motto. In 2021, though, the regular OnePlus 9 still stands in the Pro’s shadow, but it’s a better alternative than ever before.

Consumer Reports just put out its yearly “Best Smartphones” list, crowning Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro Max as the best option. What about the affordable end of the spectrum? OnePlus managed to take that crown with its affordable Nord N10 and N100 models, but Consumer Reports forgot to mention the absolutely awful update policy that come with these phones.

You may already own 2020’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 8 Pro to the OnePlus 9 Pro?

After getting swept up in the OnePlus 9 series launch yesterday, one product slipped our initial focus – the OnePlus 9R.

The OnePlus 9 is here, but there’s a fair bit you might have missed from the launch event. Here are a few details about the OnePlus 9 series that weren’t emphasized, including how OnePlus 9 pre-order timing will work, the lack of 5G support, and more.

The OnePlus 9 series delivers updated specs, refreshed designs, and higher prices, but the biggest point of emphasis on the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro is the camera array. A new partnership with Hasselblad is being massively hyped up, but is it actually an improvement? We’ve been putting them to the test, and the pictures speak for themselves.

The OnePlus fanbase has been clamoring for a smartwatch for years, and finally it’s here. The OnePlus Watch is now official with lengthy battery life, a good feature set, and a bargain price tag.

After weeks of teases and snippets, the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro have now officially been unveiled during a live-streamed launch event with some notable improvements over the 2020 cohort.

OnePlus just announced that some of its current devices and its upcoming OnePlus 9 will be moving from the in-house HydrogenOS to Oppo’s ColorOS, at least in China. It has got us thinking, how much of the value for a OnePlus smartphone relies on its software? Would you switch to something else if OnePlus ever adopted ColorOS around the globe?

OnePlus phones globally have long shipped with the company’s OxygenOS, which delivers a stock-like look with lots of customization options and questionable background app practices. In China, though, OnePlus phones have always shipped with a much heavier skin known as HydrogenOS. That may soon change, though, as OnePlus is reportedly switching to use ColorOS from Oppo on its Chinese models.

The OnePlus 8 series finally ended the company’s refusal to adopt the wonderful technology that is wireless charging, and it went off with a bang with a whopping 30W of power delivered to the OnePlus 8 Pro without wires attached. Now the OnePlus 9 series is rumored to topple that with 50W of wireless charging power.

There’s been a fair bit of back and forth for the past few months regarding whether or not the OnePlus Watch would be running Google’s flailing Wear OS platform. Now, CEO Pete Lau has officially confirmed the OnePlus Watch will have its own operating system.

In the buildup to the OnePlus 9 series launch, details are now emerging on some of the extra launch products and accessories – including some OnePlus Watch specs.

The OnePlus 9 Pro is set to make its debut in just over a week, and the company’s hype train is in full effect with teasers and, now, just a dump of images showing off the OnePlus 9 Pro in a mirror finish option called “Morning Mist.”
