Known for its tagline “Never Settle,” OnePlus makes smartphones that rival other flagship handsets with more budget-friendly price tags.
The latest OxygenOS Open Beta update for the OnePlus 5/5T, OnePlus 6/6T is now rolling out to those already enrolled on the beta program.
If rumors are to be believed, we could see the OnePlus 7 as soon as next month. That means we are in ripe leak territory, where any tidbit of information could be considered valuable. This new set of 5K renders of the supposed standard OnePlus 7 give us an indication of what we may see come the launch date.
OnePlus has exploded in popularity over the past few years, and the company is continually gaining traction with its new releases. According to one well-known leaker, the OnePlus 7 release date could be in less than a month, and will come with the “OnePlus 7 Pro” alongside it.
Ahead of rumors and sketchy supposed leaks of the OnePlus 7, company CEO Pete Lau has spoken about potential foldable OnePlus devices and heavily rumored smart-TVs at the European Design Institute in Milan, as reported by Italian outlet Repubblica.
Google’s Pixel hardware is slowly but surely getting more popular, and stealing users away from the competition. According to a new study from CounterPoint Research, over half of Google Pixel 3 buyers were previously using a Samsung device.
With more and more handsets adopting OLED panels over LCD, we have to contend with a few cons over the obvious pros. OnePlus has clearly understood this when it comes to OLED brightness and display flicker.

Let’s see if this one sounds familiar. OnePlus’ next flagship smartphone won’t have wireless charging because the company still thinks the technology isn’t good enough. In an interview this week at MWC 2019, the company reiterated that same old story, again, but this time OnePlus also mentioned that it’s working on better wireless charging tech.

With MWC on the horizon, invites and announcements are now being lined up ahead of the key calendar event in Barcelona. It seems that OnePlus is sending out invites for a closed-door event according to Digit.in (via AllAboutOnePlus).
Back in November 2018, OnePlus stopped the seeding program for custom ROM and kernel developers which naturally, was not very well received.
