Smartphones
OnePlus Series
OnePlus 1
The company's first product was the anticipated OnePlus One. It was unveiled on 22 April 2014, and was claimed as the "2014 Flagship Killer". [1] The smartphone had comparable, and in some ways better, specifications to other flagship phones of the year, while being sold at a significantly lower price at $299 for the 16 GB version or $349 for the 64 GB version. [2]
Criticisms of OnePlus One included the omission of the microSD slot. Lack of storage bottlenecked the system and lack of a removable battery gave a frustrating experience to some users. Input inconsistencies such as a flawed voice control system and oversensitive gesture shortcuts also thwarted the experience. [3] Some units had an issue where a yellow band would appear at the bottom of the display. This issue was not covered under warranty. [4] [5]
OnePlus 2
The OnePlus 2 was the successor to the company's successful first phone. It was unveiled a little over a year after the OnePlus One, on 27 July 2015. The company promoted it as the "2016 Flagship killer". [6] There were very high expectations for the second generation OnePlus phones, partly because the company managed to create a high amount of hype for the then-upcoming phone.
The OnePlus 2 had specifications comparable to other flagship phones of the time, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, though OnePlus had decided to leave out an NFC chip, as it didn't see mobile payment being an essential feature at the time. [7] The phone was also one of the first Android devices to use a USB-C port over the older micro USB port. [8]
In advance of the OnePlus 2 launch, OnePlus assured customers that obtaining invites would be easier, and handsets would ship a lot quicker than with the OnePlus One. However, in a public apology, Carl Pei admitted the company had "messed up" the launch, and that OnePlus "only began shipping meaningful quantities [the week of 10 September 2015], nearly a month after [the] initial targeted shipping date." [9] [10]
Despite promising 24 months of software updates, and telling consumers that the OnePlus 2 would be updated to Android 7 "Nougat", it was eventually confirmed that this was not to happen, leaving the device on the older Android 6.0.1. [11]
OnePlus X
Shortly after the launch of the OnePlus 2, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei hinted at the launch of a new device at the end of 2015 when interviewed at one of the popup events in New York City. [12] Being the successor to OnePlus 2, OnePlus X was OnePlus' entrance to the budget phone market, at 5 inches instead of the One and 2's 5.5 inches. The phone was unveiled on 29 October 2015. The phone was sold for $249, and consisted mostly of the same internal components as the year and half old OnePlus One, but had an AMOLED display. [13] The OnePlus X comes preloaded with Oxygen OS version 2.1.2, the OnePlus' build of Android 5.1.1 "Lollipop". [14]
OnePlus 3
The OnePlus 3 was unveiled on 14 June 2016 as a successor to OnePlus 2 in the main series. This was the first OnePlus device to be not part of the invite system. [15] The 3 was the company's first "metal unibody" phone and launched with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of UFS 2.0 storage. [16] The phone was well regarded amongst critics, mostly for its low price and high specifications. [17]
OnePlus 3T
The OnePlus 3T was unveiled on 15 November 2016 as a minor upgrade to the still relatively new OnePlus 3. The upgrade consisted the use of a newer SoC; the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 was replaced with the Snapdragon 821. Also introduced were a higher-capacity battery, 64 or 128 GB of storage and 16 MP front-facing camera. The phone launched in the US on 22 November 2016 and in the EU on 28 November 2016.
OnePlus 5
The OnePlus 5 was unveiled on 20 June 2017 as the successor to the OnePlus 3, skipping the number 4, because in China, 4 is an unlucky number. It launched with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, a dual-lens camera setup, up to 8 GB RAM, and up to 128 GB of storage. It was released in two colours: Midnight Black and Slate Gray. A third limited edition colour, Soft Gold was released on 7 August 2017. [18] Another special edition colour was launched on 20 September 2017, in collaboration with Castelbajac. [19]
OnePlus 5T
The OnePlus 5T was unveiled on 16 November 2017, as the successor to the OnePlus 5. [20] It features the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC and storage options as its predecessor. Notable features include a larger 6" 18:9 display, a new "Face Unlock" facial recognition method, and an improved dual-lens camera.
The device which came out of the box running Android 7 Nougat recently received the last major update based on Android 10 Q. [21]
OnePlus 6
OnePlus opened forums for the OnePlus 6 in April 2018 and launched the device on 17 May 2018 with sales starting on 22 May 2018. [22] [23] [24] The phone notably features a display notch and water resistance (although not IP Code rated). The smartphone was the first from the company to offer a 256 GB inbuilt storage variant.

The camera has a 'Nightscape' mode which uses a longer exposure time to capture better photos in poor lighting conditions.It became the first OnePlus phone to come with an in-display fingerprint scanner. [26]
OnePlus set a Guinness World Record title of "the most people unboxing a phone simultaneously" on the launch of OnePlus 6T. [27]
In the beginning, OnePlus 6T users reported unusual battery drain issue, which got fixed after a few days of usage. The reason to this is still unknown. [28]
OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro
The OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro were launched on May 14, 2019, in Bangalore, New York, and London and went on sale starting May 17.[ citation needed ] The OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7 are the first phones to go on sale with Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 3.0 storage.

OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro
The OnePlus 7T was officially presented in New Delhi on September 26, 2019, and was available to order on September 28. The OnePlus 7T Pro was unveiled two weeks later. The OnePlus 7T is the successor to the 7 that was released 5 months prior for the European and Asian market, and to the 6T for the American market where the OnePlus 7 wasn't sold. It features a new form-factor compared to its predecessors, with a 20:9 aspect ratio instead of 19.5:9. This allowed for OnePlus to make the phone slightly taller than the older 6T and 7, while keeping the same width. OnePlus also included the 90 Hz Fluid AMOLED display previously found on the OnePlus 7 Pro. While OnePlus did keep the resolution at 2400×1080 pixels, the screen was one of its primary selling points. While the OnePlus 7T is considered a significant upgrade compared to the 7, the 7T Pro is a subtle upgrade over the 7 Pro. It features the same display, same body, same camera system; the main changes being faster charging, faster processor and a slightly quieter pop-up camera.
Both phones are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855+ (7 nm) SoC and feature the same in-display fingerprint scanner found on the OnePlus 7 Series. Only one variant was available for each phone: 8 GB RAM with 128 GB storage for the 7T (with another 256 GB storage variant for the Indian market only), and 8 GB RAM with 256 GB storage for the 7T Pro. Both have a slightly superior battery compared to their predecessors, the 7T included a 3800 mAh non-removable battery (4085 mAh for the 7T Pro) alongside Warp Charge 30T technology, which allows them to be fully charged in just under an hour. The OnePlus 7T had a new camera system, featuring the same primary and wide-angle lenses, though adding a third 2x telephoto lens (instead of 3x for the 7 Pro and 7T Pro). Both also feature a new macro mode, allowing them to capture pictures up to 2.5 cm from to the subject. The more affordable OnePlus 7T is available in 2 colors, "Frosted" silver or "Glacier" blue, and the 7T Pro in "Haze" blue, all being matte glass finishes. Both were the first phones to ship with Android 10 and OxygenOS 10.0 out-of-the-box. [33] [34]
OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro
The OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro were unveiled on April 14, 2020, and released on April 21 in Europe and April 29 in the United States. The 8 Pro is the first OnePlus phone to have wireless charging (Warp Charge 30 W). All 8 Pro models have water resistance, although for the 8 it is present only on carrier models. The 8 and 8 Pro have a circular cutout in the upper left-hand corner of the display for the front-facing camera. This was necessary to achieve the IP68 rating, as the pop-up camera on the 7 Pro and 7T Pro did not allow for water resistance. Like the 7T series, both use Fluid AMOLED displays with HDR10+ support. However, a curved display is now used on both phones, whereas the 7T had a flat display and the 7T Pro had a curved display. The 8 has a 6.55-inch 1080p 20:9 screen with a 90 Hz refresh rate, while the 8 Pro has a larger 6.78-inch 1440p 19.8:9 screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The 8 Pro is one of the first smartphones able to display 1 billion colors using a 30-bit panel.
Both phones are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor and Adreno 650 GPU. The battery capacity has been increased to 4300 mAh on the 8 and 4510 mAh on the 8 Pro. Storage and RAM options are shared between the two, with 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of non-expandable UFS 3.0 storage. The 8 has LPDDR4X RAM while the 8 Pro has faster, more efficient LPDDR5 RAM. The camera system has been changed to further differentiate the 8 and 8 Pro. The 8's camera array consists of a 48 MP wide sensor, a 16 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP macro sensor, while the 8 Pro's camera array consists of a 48 MP wide sensor, a 48 MP ultrawide sensor and an 8 MP telephoto sensor, with an additional 5 MP "Color Filter Camera" that enables one- or two- color filters within the standard shooting mode. On 19 May, OnePlus announced that they would temporarily disable the colour filter camera on the OnePlus 8 Pro in China with an upcoming software update, for creating privacy concerns online. [35] [36] Unlike the 7T, the 8 does not have a telephoto camera or autofocus on the ultrawide camera, which are now exclusive to the 8 Pro. The front camera on both uses a 16 MP sensor. Along with facial recognition, the optical in-display fingerprint scanner is carried over from the 7 series and 7T series. Both are available in Onyx Black (glossy) and Glacial Green (matte), while the 8 Pro has its own Ultramarine Blue (matte) finish. The 8 has two additional colors, a Polar Silver (matte) finish exclusive to the Verizon model and an Interstellar Glow (glossy) finish exclusive to the T-Mobile model.

Like the 8, the 8T is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor and Adreno 650 GPU. The battery capacity is 4500 mAh, with a dual-cell design. It marks the debut of Warp Charge 65, although it does not support wireless charging. Storage and RAM options are carried over from the 8, with 8 or 12 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128 or 256 of non-expandable storage. The camera module has a new design, the array consisting of a 48 MP wide sensor, 16 MP ultrawide sensor, a 5 MP macro sensor and a 2 MP monochrome sensor, while the front camera uses a 16 MP sensor. Biometric options remain the same, with facial recognition and an optical in-display fingerprint scanner.

Concept One Smartphone
On January 7, 2020, OnePlus unveiled the Concept One smartphone at CES 2020. The OnePlus Concept One uses electrochromic glass to “hide” the rear-facing camera setup. The glass of the phone uses organic particles to create changes in transparency so that the glass covering the camera lenses can instantly shift from opaque black to transparent, presenting a clean, unbroken surface when not in use. OnePlus calls it a manifest of its ‘burdenless’ design philosophy. This solution is called ‘Electronic CMF.' The rest of the design is inspired by the McLaren 720S supercar, with orange leather on the rear of the phone and a sliver of glass down the center of the rear panel of the device. [54]
OnePlus Ace and 10R
The OnePlus Ace was unveiled on April 21, 2022, in China. This naming of the phone (OnePlus Ace) is similar to OPPO Reno Ace launched in October 2019 and Samsung Galaxy Ace series (2011 - 2014). This phone is a rebranded 150 W-model realme GT Neo3 launched 1 month ago, the overall design and specifications is similar to GT Neo3, but has the enhanced version of Dimensity 8100 unveiled in GT Neo3, Mediatek Dimensity 8100 Max. This also has the striped design on the back left side, and the camera array side surroundings is similar to Samsung Galaxy S22, but the camera array is squared like the GT Neo3, with the LED flash next to the main camera (LED flash under the main camera in GT Neo3).

This phone also has ColorOS 12.1 with Android 12 and a punch-hole display just like in GT Neo3, and is the first OnePlus phone to use this display as the past OnePlus phones relied on corner cutouts. However, the length of the phone compared to GT Neo3 is a bit smaller (75.5 mm < 75.6 mm) and it is 2 grams lighter than GT Neo3 (186g < 188g), but it has no alert slider which has been a staple for the brand since its inception.
