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.
In this article, we compare the Nothing Phone 2a Plus and OnePlus Nord 4. The OnePlus Nord 4 wins in terms of box contents, design, display, and performance. It has a more comprehensive package, a refreshing design, a superior display, and better performance due to its powerful processor. However, the Nothing Phone 2a Plus excels in software experience. It offers a clean, bloat-free UI and louder speakers. Both phones perform similarly in battery life, with the Nord 4 having a slight edge due to bundled charger.
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.
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.
In this comparison, we will put the newly launched OnePlus Nord 4 which comes with a refreshing metal design and a compact form factor against the IQOO Neo 9 Pro which offers exceptional performance. Both these midrange devices bring something unique to the table but which one is right for you? We will answer it in this read.

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.
OnePlus has released Android 15 Beta 1 firmware for the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus Open smartphones. The update has a few unironed issues and requires OnePlus 12 users to be on OxygenOS version 14.0.0.610 or lower and version 14.0.0.702 or lower for the OnePlus Open users.
OxygenOS 14 brought a lot of features but after recently switching to OnePlus, I've realized that the OS could do great if OnePlus adds a few new features and improves some of the existing ones. Some of them are an improved media player, a Desktop Mode, and a Quick Settings revamp.
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 has finally launched its next mid-range device the OnePlus Nord CE 4 and straightaway there's a lot to like about the device. It features Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, dual cameras with the primary being the LYT-600 from Sony, and a 5,500 mAh battery that can charge at 100W. The base variant is priced at Rs 24,999 while the upper variant costs Rs 26,999.
OnePlus has announced that the OnePlus Nord CE4 5G wil be launching on April 1st at 6:30 PM. The initial and official details revealed by the company suggests the Nord CE4 will come with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC and two colors — Green and Black. OnePlus has an official landing page for the Nord CE4 which mentions more information about the device will be revealed on March 14.
The OnePlus Watch 2 comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1, 32GB storage, 2GB RAM, 500 mAh battery that can last up to 100 hours in smart mode, and two color options. It's priced at $299 or Rs 24,999 in India and rivals the Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic.

OnePlus Nord, which was originally launched starting at Rs 33,999 in India, has now discounted down to Rs 27,999 with bank offers on both its official store and Amazon. This is a massive Rs 6,000 discount on the original retail price, and it's a deal you shouldn't miss if you want a well-rounded phone under Rs 30,000. OnePlus Nord 3 includes a 120Hz AMOLED panel, Dimensity 9000 chipset, 80W fast-charging, and a 50MP main camera, among other things.
