OnePlus 13's China launch teaser revealed the phone in all its glory and its release date which is October 31. The teaser and images reveal a slightly different back camera design compared to the OnePlus 12. Finally, there are three colors to choose from - Blue, White, and Wood.
OnePlus has revealed OxygenOS 15's announcement date and it will be held next week, on October 24 at 3:30 PM IST. The tagline of OxygenOS 15 is "Speed meets AI" indicating the update will focus more on AI features. Some of the key features the update might bring are more lock screen customizations and more iOS-esque design elements.
OnePlus' next flagship phone, the upcoming 13 series might come with MagSafe like magnetic charging support. This was hinted at by OnePlus China President Louis Lee on Weibo. The new standard, Qi 2, offers a magnetic charging setup, compatible with iPhones since 2023. If OnePlus 13 incorporates this, it would be the first major Android device to support Qi 2, potentially opening up MagSafe compatibility for Android devices.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is here, and we have compared it to the OnePlus Open. From the looks of it, the latter is the better foldable for much cheaper. Take a look at the detailed comparison right here!
OnePlus is reportedly working to introduce quite a few iOS-inspired design choices and features to OnePlus phones with the upcoming OxygenOS 15. From a revamped Control Center to Live Photos and more, here's everything that's on the way!
OnePlus seems to have pulled all the OxygenOS ROM/firmware files of all devices from their servers, and leaving thousands of Custom ROM users on OnePlus devices stuck with their favorite third-party ROMs. The Oxygen Update app had also been effected until the developer figured out a workaround which is live in version 6.4.0 of the app.
OnePlus Buds Pro 3 is the successor to the widely popular OnePlus Buds Pro 2 and brings a lot of changes over the past generation with a more balanced sound output, Dynaudio tuning, long lasting battery life and a complete design overhaul. Like always, I went in depth to discuss each and every single major aspect of these buds and discussed them in this review.
The OnePlus Pad 2 offers solid performance with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a superb multimedia viewing experience with its impressive display + speaker combo, and a commendable battery backup to support it all. There's barely any room left for complaints, allowing it to easily be one the best all-rounder Android tablet I've used in a long time. The starting price of Rs 39,999 is also not that big of an ask taking into consideration all that it has to offer.

Alongside the new color, this new edition brings VIP mode integrated within the alert slider which is decorated with an orange accent now, and a 1TB storage. However, other key specs like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, the 6.3-inch inner display, 7.8-inch internal display, a 4,805mAh battery with 67W fast charging and more remain same.

The OnePlus Pad has received a big price cut, bringing its usual Rs 36,000 starting price down to Rs 27,999. To bring this price further down, buyers can use select bank cards to get an instant Rs 1,750 discount. Key specifications of the tablet include the Dimensity 9000, 11.6-inch 2.8K 144Hz LCD display, 9,510mAh with 67W fast charging, and more.
The OnePlus Nord 4 brings a lot of changes in design as it brings back the premium metallic back, features the latest Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 sensor, a large 5,500 mAh battery capacity and a 100 Watt charging. But is it enough to go against the behemoths that we have seen so far in the midrange category and what makes the phone stand out among its competitors. Find out in this review.
The OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro gives you a balanced sound quality, good microphone clarity, and impressive noise cancellation of up to 49 dB. The device supports Bluetooth 5.4 and Google Fast Pair, and offers a battery life of approximately 6 hours with ANC. The Hey Melody app provides a straightforward user experience. However, the buds' design and build quality are not significantly different from competitors in the same price range.
The OnePlus Watch 2R has launched for Rs 17,999 in the Indian market, making it Rs 7,000 cheaper than the OnePlus Watch 2. However, it renders the Watch 2 pointless in the subcontinent, since it arrives with the same health sensors, OS and processor. The only difference lies in the design, where the Watch 2R shines as well due to its chronographic dial. However, the Watch 2 sports a more superior build quality, thanks to being made out of stainless steel and undergoing military-grade testing.
OnePlus has launched a new budget truly wireless earbuds - Nord Buds 3 Pro. It comes with 49 dB of noise cancellation, 12.4 mm dynamic drivers, and 44 hours of listening time on a single charge. The earbuds cost Rs. 3,299 and will be available starting July 20.
The newly launched OnePlus Nord 4 certainly seems like a better option over the Realme GT 6T. That's just not because of the superior all-metal design, but better performing cameras and an impressive 6 years of software updates. The display of the Realme GT 6T is its only worth-it redeeming quality which, if you want an entertainment-centric phone, will make more sense. For the most part, the Nord 4 is the more versatile device.

The OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite has gone official with the Snapdragon 695 in India. Other key specs include a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a big 5,500mAh battery with 80W SUPERVOOC charging, a Sony LYT-600 primary sensor with OIS, and more. Price of the device has been set at Rs 19,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, while the higher 256GB variant costs Rs 21,999.
OnePlus has taken the wraps off of its Glacier Battery Technology that will feature on its upcoming Ace 3 Pro smartphone. The upcoming device will pack a massive 6,100mAh battery with 100W fast charging. While this is a big battery, it will be lighter than a 5000mAh unit since it uses silicon-carbon anode technology which reaches an energy density of 763Wh/L. This density is lighter than the standard graphite batteries out there, hence the reduced heft. This allows the phone to be slim and sleek while offering a massive battery unit at the same time.
The OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite has been officially scheduled to launch on June 24. It will go official as the toned-down version of the Nord CE 4 and will be powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3. Other expected specifications include a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, a 50MP primary rear camera sensor, and a big 5,500mAh battery with 80W fast charging support. While nothing is known about the pricing of the device, going by OnePlus' pricing strategy, it will probably start at Rs 19,999 in the Indian market.
Vivo X Fold 3 Pro vs OnePlus Open: Which Is the Better Foldable?
Sagnik Das Gupta
View quick summary
There's no doubt that the latest Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is a more modern foldable in comparison to the OnePlus Open. From bigger and brighter displays to a bigger battery and faster charging, the X Fold 3 Pro has a lot of good things going for it. However, the one area where OnePlus Open undeniably shines is the software experience. OxygenOS is understandably superior to the FuntouchOS 14, and is also backed by an additional year of major OS updates. But, the FuntouchOS experience on the X Fold 3 Pro isn't bad per say and also brings some AI features to the table. The primary camera performance of the X Fold 3 Pro is also slightly better in most scenarios. Overall, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is the best foldable I have used in recent years, eliminating most of the problems that this form factor brought in the past.
I recently purchased OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Edition and switched from a Pixel 6 which served me for almost three years. Although I despised OnePlus' decision to merge the ColorOS and OxygenOS codebases, buying the OnePlus 12R meant I had to shift from Pixel's clean UI to OxygenOS (ColorOS). After trying it I can say that I don't hate it, rather it feels like a breath of fresh air.
The OnePlus Ace 3V recently launched in China and it is highly likely to be rebranded as the OnePlus Nord 4 for global markets. I was fortunate to get my hands on the OnePlus Ace 3V recently, so here are my first impressions of what will be the Nord 4.
The OnePlus Nord CE 4 has gone official as the brand's latest offering in the Rs 25,000 price category. While it comes with average cameras, it makes up for it with a stellar performance, a clean (but unoptimized) software experience and long lasting battery with 100W fast charging. If you take into consideration all the things that it brings to the table and if you prefer performance over cameras, this is the phone to get in the Rs. 25,000 price segment.
OnePlus Nord CE 4 vs POCO X6 Pro: Which Is the Better Performer?
Sagnik Das Gupta
View quick summary
The Nord CE 4 is here, and costs just Rs. 1,000 less than the POCO X6 Pro at Rs. 24,999. I compared the two phones, and the POCO X6 Pro is undoubtedly a much better performer. If gaming is what you are looking for mostly, the POCO X6 Pro should be the better option. The POCO X6 Pro is also equipped with better cameras, but the Nord CE 4 offers a much cleaner software experience. You also get more SoT and faster charging with the Nord CE 4. However, for the most part, the POCO X6 Pro is just the better phone.
