Known for its tagline “Never Settle,” OnePlus makes smartphones that rival other flagship handsets with more budget-friendly price tags.

Due to the open nature of Android, updates are generally a fairly big issue when looking at the ecosystem as a whole. As Android 11 starts preparations for release later this year, a report card for Android 10 shows how companies like OnePlus and Samsung are leaving the competition behind.
After just a few months, T-Mobile is apparently phasing out the OnePlus 7 Pro to make room for the company’s latest device, the OnePlus 7T.
The OnePlus 5 and 5T don’t get updates as often as they once did, but the duo of 2017 handsets are now receiving the OxygenOS 9.0.11 OTA update.
The follow-up to the genuinely superb OnePlus 7 Pro is right around the corner even with delays and setbacks due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Despite that, the rumor mill has been in full flow with the OnePlus 8 series.
OnePlus’ claim to fame has, for quite some time, been affordable prices on high-end hardware. That may change this year, though, as prices continue to rise on all Android flagships, the OnePlus 8 will apparently follow thanks in part to 5G connectivity.
OxygenOS is arguably the best way to experience Android, however, OnePlus is not resting on its laurels and wants input and ideas on how to improve its software experience.
OnePlus is really pumping resources and investment into the Indian market, with exclusive features for fans and device owners in the region. The latest being the OnePlus Door Step Service for device repairs.
After potential launch delays due to the growing concerns over the spread of the coronavirus, supposed specs of the OnePlus 8 series have now leaked, hinting at expectedly impressive internals for the upcoming devices.
Things have been fairly quiet for OnePlus since the company’s Concept One was shown off at CES earlier this year, but now information is coming out about when the next set of phones will debut. Apparently, we can expect the OnePlus 8 series to launch as soon as mid-April.
Variety is the spice of life, and while there are a ton of third-party skins on Android that offer the same core experience, in our opinion, OxygenOS is most definitely one of, if not, the best out there.
We recently saw the OnePlus 6 and 6T receive the latest Open Beta update, but for those on the stable path, the OxygenOS 10.3.2 OTA is rolling right now for the former flagships.
Hot on the heels of the latest stable updates for other OnePlus hardware, the OxygenOS Open Beta 5 OTA is now rolling out for the OnePlus 6 and 6T.
Earlier last year, OnePlus opened up a beta program for some of its default applications including the Gallery app. The latest OnePlus Gallery beta has added a number of features that might be of interest to OnePlus fans out there.
Update and editor’s note: This story originally claimed that OnePlus is not holding a physical launch event for the OnePlus 8, and suggested this was directly tied to COVID-19 concerns. While we still believe there won’t be a physical event for the OnePlus 8, our report that this decision was made as a direct result of COVID-19 did not meet our high editorial standards. We’re retracting that claim.
On the tail of the recent update for the OnePlus 7 Pro, the OnePlus 7T is now receiving the OxygenOS 10.0.8 update with fixes and improvements for many of the same issues, plus the January 2020 security patch is also in tow.
OnePlus makes some pretty great Android smartphones, but the company often settles on some of the premium features expected from modern flagships. In 2020, it’s looking like OnePlus might finally fix two gaps with the arrival of wireless charging and, more importantly, proper water resistance too.
The Android 10 update for the T-Mobile variant of the OnePlus 6T is now rolling out after quite a substantial delay.
The OxygenOS 10.0.4 update is now rolling out for the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro, with the update bringing some notable changes alongside the January 2020 security patch.
OxygenOS Open Beta 9 is now rolling out for the OnePlus 7 Pro with a number of fixes, while also including the January 2019 security patch.
The Google Assistant Ambient mode for OnePlus devices is rolling out right now, with all previously “flagship killers” also included — as far back as 2016’s OnePlus 3/3T.
Last November, Ambient Mode rolled out to more Android phones following a debut on Nokia and Lenovo devices at IFA 2019. OnePlus announced this evening that the proactive Google Assistant experience will soon be available on its phones.
The latest update based upon Android 10 for the OnePlus 6 and 6T is now rolling out in the form of OxygenOS 10.3.1.
OnePlus has been evading wireless charging for years now but with the OnePlus 8, it finally looks like the company is set to adopt the technology. To add fuel to the fire, it was recently discovered that OnePlus has joined the Wireless Power Consortium, pretty much guaranteeing that the company is bringing the long-awaited tech in the near future.
The OnePlus Concept One won’t be going on sale, but the company really wants to show people just what this phone can do in person. To do that, the OnePlus Concept One is going on a world tour starting next week.
