The OnePlus 12 is an official phone as of today, but don’t prepare your wallet yet if you like what you read and decide it should be your next. For now, OnePlus has only announced the 12 for China, although we fully expect there to be a global launch in the coming weeks or months. Ready to hear all about the Chinese version of the OnePlus 12? I think you’ll like this. Because OnePlus has not presented the OnePlus 12 in the US or for the global market, it’s hard to know the exact sales pitch. However, from looking through the live landing page for this phone, I can tell you that it is a specs a ..read more

OnePlus is allowing us to take a break from the deals and is introducing the OnePlus 12. We thank you for this service, OnePlus. With a color option called Flowy Emerald inspired directly by nature, the OnePlus 12 builds on a similar look of the OnePlus 11, though, the company does note a change of scenery for the Alert Slider. This change in position is detailed to allow for better gaming antennas to be available on the device. Described in its announcement, “Based on internal testing, it has been determined that the optimal position for gaming antennas is between the forefingers of the user ..read more

The OnePlus Open is a truly excellent foldable phone with so much to like. The performance, design, displays, and cameras are all top notch for a device that is technically the first from a company. The Open easily matches Samsung’s newest Fold 5 device, even besting it in some areas, like size and shape. It is expensive, though, with a price tag of $1,700 should you try and buy it without a discount. Thankfully, because of the times we live in, you should almost never have to buy anything at full price in the tech world. The OnePlus Open is no exception and can be had with a big time instant ..read more

OnePlus has entered the foldable arena with the OnePlus Open, a $1,700 device that’s sold direct to you with a specs sheet and custom software experience you might not expect from a 1st-gen product. That’s actually a big part of the story of this first OnePlus foldable – in no way does it feel like a 1st-gen device and instead comes off like a device ready to compete with Samsung out of the gate. I’ve spent the better part of two weeks with the a OnePlus Open review unit, received a couple of updates, and was able to dance between it and the Google Pixel 8 Pro at the same time. That double dut ..read more

We’ll have a lot to say about the OnePlus Open in the coming days, but with the device being official and pre-orders already open, we wanted to get you the best place to buy one, assuming you’ve seen enough already. Priced just below the Galaxy Fold 5 at $1,699, OnePlus is offering a lot in their first foldable, with a decent discount opportunity to sweeten the deal. For the best OnePlus Open pre-order deal, I’d point you to the OnePlus Store. They currently have both colors (green or black) available and are giving you $200 off no matter the phone you trade-in to them, but they’ll up that pri ..read more

OnePlus officially has a foldable and it is called the OnePlus Open. You knew that, because of leaks and all that, but today the device has been fully revealed by the company, plus we have one. It’s a big day in OnePlus’ foldable dreams, so let’s talk all through this big launch. The OnePlus Open is a high-end foldable that is in the same category as the Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 and Google Pixel Fold. This is not a flip phone foldable – it’s a phone-to-tablet convertible. It’s a big boy, with a phone-sized screen on the outside that unfolds to reveal a 7″-ish tablet on the inside. You know what I ..read more

OnePlus previously told us that its first foldable would arrive “soon” and now we have an official date as of today. Add October 19 to your calendars if foldables are your thing or if you believe OnePlus and the OnePlus Open has what it takes to compete in the space and convince you that it is time to try one out.

OnePlus officially unwrapped OxygenOS 14 today, the new version of its skin that sits atop Android 14. The update to OxygenOS 14 isn’t actually here yet, at least not in stable form, but OnePlus wants you to know what to expect once it hits that stage. For now, it’s available as a second beta for the OnePlus 11 with all of the new features included. What are those new features? Honestly, I’m not sure. OnePlus was kind enough to let us attend a briefing on OxygenOS 14, but it was difficult to take much from it, because the word salad of descriptors for what this skin attempts to accomplish is b ..read more

A first foldable from OnePlus is on the way, the company confirmed this morning. While they provided almost no details about that launch or the device itself, they did say to expect it “soon.” How soon? At least one insider says around mid-October. During a converstaion today at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023 to talk about their 10-year anniversary, OnePlus confirmed that they have created a new device that is “set to redefine the concept of foldable smartphones” through “flagship-level experiences in a compact foldable form factor.” This is some sort of representation of the “brand’s openness to all ..read more
