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

OnePlus officially unveils its ‘best buds for life’, the Bullets V2 earphones [Video]

Following a teaser a couple of days ago which showed what clearly resembled the exterior of a set of earphones, OnePlus has taken the wraps off its latest product, and officially introduced v2 of its “Bullets” earphones.

While potentially being easily dismissible as a fairly simple and straightforward set of earbuds, the company has nonetheless packed some interesting tech in it…

The OnePlus 3’s Dash Charge is faster than the Galaxy S7, and OnePlus wants you to know it [Video]

Despite being a relatively new company whose products often tend to lighten your wallets less than the likes of, say, Samsung or Apple, OnePlus is a company that always makes sure its voice is heard loud and clear. This is especially true when it comes down to reaffirming its position in the tech realm; and that, often, leads to direct comparisons like the one posted today…

OnePlus struggles to keep up with demand in Europe, will temporarily stop sales of the 3 in select countries

There has to be some sort of curse in the tech world for OnePlus, from which consumers are the primary victims. However, the Chinese OEM fares no better, and amid post-Brexit price surges, it looks like other European customers too will be affected by another form of disservice, whose fault may or may not be on the firm’s shoulders…

OnePlus warns its customers that the effects of Brexit could impact its business in the UK

That the UK-EU referendum’s result has come as a shocker is not news anymore, but while the how and when of Britain leaving the EU may be an unknown, the fall in the value of the pound is a reality today, and it may well fall further as things progress. That’s a possibility that OnePlus is starting to address …

Design sketches show what an unannounced OnePlus smartwatch would have looked like

Earlier this month OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that OnePlus had been working on their own smartwatch back in 2015, but the company never decided to bring it to market. Now, we know the watch would have featured a circular display, as seen in design sketches from 2015. The image tweeted by co-founder Carl Pei shows roughly what the watch would have looked like as well as describes some of its functionality.

Carl Pei responds to OnePlus 3 display criticism in rant, says ‘we’ve cut no corners’

We’ve heard a lot surrounding the OnePlus 3 in the past week and while most of it is good, there are some negative points. This of course is the case with any smartphone, but with the OnePlus 3 and the company’s previous efforts, these downsides — compromises, if you will — are seen by many as less like flaws and more just ways for OnePlus to cut corners and achieve its super affordable price points.

Now, it looks like OnePlus’ CEO Carl Pei is tired of hearing about it and has taken to Reddit to express his feelings on the matter…

OnePlus 3 w/ RAM fix takes on the Galaxy S7 again, this time with better results [Video]

Even with its 6GB of RAM, a YouTube comparison revealed last week that the OnePlus 3 still had a bit of trouble with multitasking. When compared with the Galaxy S7 Edge, the OnePlus 3 took marginally longer to store and reload apps from memory despite its supposed advantage on paper. Later the same week, the talents over at XDA developed a potential fix for this issue and now the same YouTuber who started this is back with the fix applied to show us how it improves things.

Even with 6GB of RAM, the OnePlus 3 has some trouble with multitasking compared to the S7 Edge [Video]

Over the past couple years our smartphones have turned into powerhouses we never would have imagined even a few years ago, but things took a step even further earlier this week with the announcement of the OnePlus 3. With 6GB of RAM under the hood you’d expect this phone to be an exception in a world of laggy Android phones with subpar performance, but that doesn’t seem to be the case just yet…

You can now join Nextbit’s beta testing program if you own a Robin

One of the benefits of expanded usage of social networks is the ease through which customers and companies interact with one another. Relatively new ones — like OnePlus, for instance — owe much to their communities, and often offer them ways to be more involved with the company’s decisions.

In fact, another newcomer in the smartphone game — Nextbit — is announcing that it’s taking a similar approach…

Following the 3’s launch, OnePlus says it won’t make OnePlus X-like mid-range smartphones anymore

Amidst the myriad of (relatively) new Chinese smartphone manufacturers, OnePlus certainly has made itself distinctive. Be it for past questionable marketing campaigns, now-fortunately-gone, infamous invite systems or, all in all, good products, the company can claim to have a special flair to it.

However, to keep that “uniqueness trend” going, the company is seemingly ditching any further plans that saw it working on sequels to its mid-range OnePlus X

Paranoid Android is back with new ‘all new features’, ‘new team members’ and more

Following the acquisition by OnePlus back in February 2015, most of the team working on the Paranoid Android ROM fled to the Chinese company’s shore to work on the Oxygen OS, which eventually made its way to the OnePlus 2 and its sibling smartphones.

There was no indication that the team would make a comeback, but as per a post released today, it looks like death previsions were everything but right…
