OnePlus is a phone brand with a passionate fan base, with bustling online communities in its forums and Reddit, and its various lines of mobiles all inspiring hype when they near launch.
OnePlus was formed in late 2013, with the company releasing its first handset, the OnePlus One, in early 2014. The brand rapidly expanded, launching in new regions across 2014 and then putting out new phones on an annual basis.
Part of the reason behind OnePlus’ speedily growing popularity was its ‘invite’ system for buying its smartphones – you had to sign up to receive an invite to purchase the phone. This created extra hype around OnePlus devices, akin to ‘forbidden fruit’ – although the scheme was dropped with the launch of the OnePlus 3.
In 2018, OnePlus moved into non-phone products, launching its first wireless earbuds, which you can read more about further on.
Alongside Oppo, Vivo and Realme, OnePlus is owned by a tech conglomerate BBK Electronics. Its biggest sibling from that list is Oppo, however thanks to a merger in 2021, OnePlus and Oppo actively pool resources, with similar phones and software as a result.
OnePlus’ flagship line of phones is its numbered one: the OnePlus 7 and 8, for example. In recent years, these phones have had a ‘Pro’ version accompanying the standard model, enabling the brand to sell to the high-mid-range and fully fledged premium market at time.
The T-line of handsets, released roughly six months after the numbered line, takes the half-year-old phone and tweaks it little to encompass technological advances. The OnePlus 7T was an upgrade on the 7, and so on. OnePlus has always maintained that a T-series phone isn’t a definite release, but precedent suggests they’re all but guaranteed.
The numbered OnePlus phone series launches in the first few months of the year – typically April or March – with the T version of the device being released roughly six months later, around September or October.
The Nord line doesn’t appear to have an annual cycle – although it’s pretty new, so we could see such a pattern over time.
Alongside its ranges of smartphones, OnePlus also makes wireless earbuds, such as the Bullets Wireless and Buds. These are designed for use with OnePlus phones, and are often pretty affordable.
OnePlus is also taking its first steps into the wearable tech market, with the OnePlus Band fitness tracker already having been launched in certain countries, and the OnePlus Watch expected soon.
We’ve also seen a range of OnePlus TVs, but these are available in only limited countries.
