The OnePlus Nord Buds CE are the cheapest TWS earbuds from OnePlus, featuring an open-back design. Read our full review for more details.
Following the success of the Nord Buds, OnePlus has come out with another pair of Nord-branded earbuds. The new Nord Buds CE are OnePlus' cheapest truly wireless earbuds yet, and they pack a powerful punch. However, they're not simply recycled Nord Buds with the same design and a few missing features. Rather the Nord Buds CE are an entirely different beast. They ditch the ear tips for an open-back design which is both an advantage and disadvantage, depending on how you see it. At ₹2,299 (~$29), the OnePlus Nord Buds CE are one of the cheapest TWS on the market. I have been using them for over two weeks, and here's what I feel about them.
The OnePlus 10T is a smartphone that's a top performer, but it doesn't have much else to really show for itself. Read our review here.
OnePlus has a pretty consistent flagship launch strategy at this point: a flagship launch earlier in the year, followed by another refresh later on in the year. Recently, “T” variants of the company’s phones have downgraded a little bit from their earlier flagship counterparts but bring to the table some interesting improvements, too. The OnePlus 10T follows that pattern, as while it downgrades on some things like the screen and the build, it introduces 150W charging and the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1.
The OxygenOS 13 open beta is now available to download on the OnePlus 10 Pro, and here's everything new with the software.
OnePlus faced a torrent of backlash for dropping the ball on the software front by merging its software codebase with Oppo's ColorOS. The subsequent software releases were littered with bugs, and even the stable update -- that hit many OnePlus devices including the OnePlus 9 series -- felt like an afterthought with many inconsistencies. Soon after that, the company decided to walk back on some of the changes, indicating that OxygenOS 13 will right the wrong that had been done, and will go back to what OxygenOS UI used to be in the past. Well, the update that's supposed to deliver a "familiar OxygenOS experience" is finally here as a part of the company's Open Beta initiative. That's right, I've sideloaded the OxygenOS 13 Open Beta based on Android 13 on a OnePlus 10 Pro, and here are some of the first things I've noticed:
The OnePlus 10R is a very different phone from a brand that's slowly pivoting from making flagship killers. But is it good? Let's find out.
The OnePlus 10R is a very easy phone to forget. In its flesh, it's simply a rebranded Oppo phone with a weak set of cameras, a dissatisfying build quality, and an inconsistent software experience. But on the positive, the MediaTek chip delivers sustained performance, but the real showstopper is its blazing-fast charging speeds which is probably the only feature to keep its OnePlus spirit alive. The OnePlus 10R isn't a bad phone, but it stumbles to leave a lasting impression, which is why I think it's barely latching on to the OnePlus spirit as OnePlus did arguably set a high bar in the past.
The OnePlus Nord 2T is a great smartphone, but I can't help but wonder why OnePlus even released it. It's basically just a Nord 2.
Remember the OnePlus Nord 2? It was a phone that I crowned as one of my favorite phones ever released by OnePlus at the time, and with good reason. It packed excellent performance, a decent camera, and a good software experience into one affordable package. To me, that's the entire essence of what OnePlus is about. Now the company is back with a refreshed OnePlus Nord 2T, and it's more of the same with some additional bits and subtle differences on top.
The OnePlus Nord Buds are solid entry-level earbuds with exceptional battery life and a unique design. Read our full review for more details.
OnePlus's Nord smartphones are good-looking, nail the essentials, and are always pocket-friendly. Now OnePlus wants to expand this formula to other products as it seeks to expand the Nord line beyond smartphones. The long-term goal likely involves creating a Nord product ecosystem consisting of earbuds, smartwatches, etc. The OnePlus Nord Buds is the first product in the ecosystem, offering a unique design and a solid battery life at a cheap price tag. I have been using the OnePlus Nord for over a week, and here's what I like and dislike about them.
The OnePlus Nord N20 5G is here with a 64MP f/1.8 camera, a beautiful design, an AMOLED display, and 33W Super VOOC charging.
The OnePlus Nord N20 5G is in the house, and there's a lot to love here for an inexpensive Android phone. The successor to the Snapdragon 690-powered Nord N10 5G, the Nord N20 has a Snapdragon 695 with an improved CPU and the same GPU. Aside from the internal improvements, there's a better camera, a 60Hz AMOLED display instead of a 90Hz LCD, and 33W SuperVOOC charging. It also comes with an all-new design, which actually reminds me a bit of the OnePlus X (that's right; we're going back to those days).
LineageOS 19 just released, and this is what you'll get with the official builds right out of the box. We installed it on our OnePlus 6.
LineageOS was created in 2016 as a stock-like Android custom ROM, following the collapse of the CyanogenMod project. We've seen it go through several major updates since then, but LineageOS has continued to bring a stock Android-like experience (and Google-free, if you choose) to dozens of phones and tablets. Now LineageOS 19 based on Android 12 is here officially, and this is what you get with the official builds.
The OnePlus 9RT is an affordable flagship that packs the Snapdragon 888 chipset with other compelling specs. Is it worth your money though?
Over the years, OnePlus had cemented its place in the Indian market as a brand catering to enthusiasts. It didn't take long for OnePlus to achieve the premium tag thanks in large to top-end specifications and more importantly, clean software. OxygenOS was a fan favorite due to multiple reasons -- it felt close to stock Android, had fast animations, and was fairly feature-rich. In fact, OxygenOS became one of the key selling points of a OnePlus device. It wasn't the case for long, though, since the OnePlus-OPPO merger meant that the beloved OxygenOS was now getting the ColorOS treatment.
The OnePlus Buds Z2 are OnePlus' latest earphones that have launched in Europe, and we tested them out. Read our review here!
OnePlus has been in the audio game for quite a long time now, and we've seen big hitters from the company in the form of the OnePlus Buds and the OnePlus Buds Pro. The company also launched the decidedly mid-range OnePlus Buds Z last year, which were genuinely well-received at a lower price. Now the company has unveiled the OnePlus Buds Z2 in Europe after a Chinese launch in October.
The OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition brings a visual overhaul in the form of a glowing back. Is it worth the extra premium? Let's find out!
OnePlus has partnered with several brands over the years for special edition devices. Be it the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition, the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition, or the new Harry Potter Edition of the OnePlus Watch. All of these devices follow a certain theme and are targeted towards consumers who want a unique device or those who are fans of that particular theme. Following the same tradition, we now have the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition which is essentially the OnePlus Nord 2 with a fresh coat of paint. If you want to relive your childhood memories of playing the iconic arcade game, this one's for you.
The OnePlus Watch Harry Potter Limited Edition is here! Check out the unboxing and the special experience on this new smartwatch variant!
The OnePlus Watch was released earlier this year, marking it as the company's first attempt at making a smartwatch. In our review of the OnePlus Watch, Mishaal enjoyed the wearable and considered it a decent competitor against the likes of offerings from Xiaomi and Amazfit. OnePlus is now back with another smartwatch, and this time, it's the OnePlus Watch Harry Potter Limited Edition.
The first wireless earbuds with ANC from OnePlus are impressive for the starting price of $150. Here is our review of the OnePlus Buds Pro!
OnePlus entered the true wireless earbuds market last year with the release of the OnePlus Buds. At under $100/₹5,000, they were a compelling pair of wireless earbuds for anyone looking for an AirPods-like design and form factor with full Android support. The more affordable OnePlus Buds Z arrived later the same year with fast charging support and improved durability, but OnePlus still didn't have a true competitor to the AirPods Pro and other high-end TWS earbuds — until this year's OnePlus Buds Pro.
