Although we still have no idea when it’s supposed to go official (sometime in the next couple of months is the safe, vague bet), the OnePlus 3 has been the protagonist of several unauthorized photo-shoots of late, as well as speculative reports detailing

As we rapidly close in on the formal announcement of the OnePlus 3, rumored to go down no later than June, gossipmongers continue to do what they know best, mongering and clashing on key aspects of the new “flagship killer’s” spec sheet, while also agreeing on many things.For instance, several separate sources have been hinting at a 16MP rear-facing camera and 8-megapixel selfie-friendly front snapper, both of which would represent important upgrades over the 13 and 5MP cams of

Part of the outstanding buzz surrounding OnePlus phones a while ago seems to have ironically fizzled out as marketing controversy died down and invite-based sales gradually transitioned towards normal, open practices.The device manufacturer was probably not among the world’s top ten in

OnePlus already sells some of the most affordable smartphones around, and while that’s great for those of us looking for a good value, it becomes tricky when the manufacturer is trying to boost sales with a new promotional offer – how far can you cut costs before you start taking a loss? Instead, OnePlus has taken to the idea of making its handsets more attractive with some free bundle deals, like we ...

India, with its billion-plus population in some pretty densely packed spots, has been able to develop an immediacy-based economy. Everything can come to you in a snap or two. So, OnePlus is partnering with Amazon.in and product end-of-life management firm ReGlobe in order to deliver instant cash back for a smartphone trade-in.You can ...

Like so many other Android device manufacturers, some a lot more popular and experienced with these sort of things, OnePlus missed its own self-imposed Marshmallow upgrade deadline. But maybe not by much.Both the OnePlus One and 2 were initially due for major software renovations between January and March, which obviously didn’t happen. Granted, the newer flagship lets its ...

If OnePlus users plan on holding the company to its word, they’d better hope for a miracle, as we’re just one day away from the end of the quarter, and we’ve still yet to see the release of Android Marshmallow (in the form of OxygenOS 3.0) for the OnePlus 2. Last fall, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei told OnePlus 2 owners they’d get their Marshmallow before Q2, and so far the best we’ve had is

Right around this time a couple of years ago, OnePlus was making all the headlines, despite not yet launching or even unveiling a single phone. Advertising shenanigans left their mark on the company’s first year of existence, and while they weren’t altogether scrapped in 2015, 2016 seems to be a new beginning for the ambitious Chinese startup.OnePlus is less talk and more action lately, cranking up its marketing efforts where they truly count, and gradually phasing out the

When you buy your smartphone from an Apple, a Samsung, or an LG, you largely know what you’re getting from that experience, and so a lot of shoppers put their faith in these big manufacturers. Going with a smaller company, though, can be a bit like rolling the dice: will they still be around for hardware and software support months, or years after you make your purchase? Two years back, we saw smartphone consumers bet big on OnePlus, and they returned in 2015 to snatch up the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X. And as the OnePlus user base grows, more and more of these owners are expectantly ...

When you think about OnePlus phones, what comes to mind? That weird invite system? Hardware that offers some of the best smartphone values around? What about alternative, forked platforms like Cyanogen OS or OxygenOS? All valid answers, no doubt, but pay attention to some of the most recent software updates to come to OnePlus devices and it becomes clear that the company is very serious about one phone feature in particular: photography. We’ve seen updates that fix camera bugs, updates that

For a company that started selling smartphones in such an unusual manner, OnePlus has taken some major strides towards normalcy lately, moving past invites for its current crop of handsets and even scoring some major promo deals. While’s we’re not positive exactly where things will go from here, talk of a new focus on US sales and bringing shoppers a “better buying process” has left ...

You know you’ve truly made it as a tech company when the leader of the free world uses your products. In the case of OnePlus, a China-based smartphone manufacturer with only three gadgets under its belt and less than three years of existence, we’re of course merely talking a fictional United States President.But Frank Underwood is probably quoted more on the interwebs than Barack Obama, and even if he’s killed a few people, he could definitely take on the likes of Donald Drumpf (sic), Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio in one of those insult-filled debates going on lately.Let’s not digress, ...

If there’s one phone component OnePlus devs like to work on, it’s cameras. Just look at the software updates we’ve seen land already this year: back in January the OnePlus X saw the arrival of an OxygenOS update that delivered a new manual camera mode, and then in February we got an update fixing a bug with image corruption. Today we’re turning our attention to the OnePlus 2 instead, as the manufacturer ...
