Yet another Android brand is copying the iPhone’s Action button

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple replaced the mute switch with a customizable Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro models. OnePlus recently copied this move and replaced its iconic alert slider with a customizable button on the OnePlus 13s. Another Android brand could soon follow suit and add a customizable button on an upcoming phone. After including a silent switch on every iPhone model since the original, Apple dropped it in favor of a customizable button starting with the iPhone

OnePlus could challenge Lenovo with this rumored gaming tablet

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR A Weibo tipster claims OnePlus is testing a compact gaming tablet with a 3K, 165Hz display. The device is said to have an 8.x-inch screen and a “geeky and simple” design. The rumored tablet would follow the recently released Pad 3 and the upcoming Pad Lite. OnePlus has been pushing hard into the tablet space this year, and we might be about to see the manufacturer expand those ambitions. If the rumors prove accurate, a OnePlus compact gaming tablet may be

If this OnePlus 15 camera leak is true, OnePlus might be making a critical mistake

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The OnePlus 13 is, without a doubt, one of my favorite Android phones available today — and for a multitude of reasons. Its design is great, performance is outstanding, and battery life is amazing. Unlike a lot of past OnePlus phones, the OnePlus 13’s cameras are just as good (if not better) than the rest of its flagship competitors. And that’s why the latest OnePlus 15 leak has me worried. Earlier this week, a well-known leaker teased a few details about the u

OnePlus tablets are getting one of Android’s best, and one of its worst, productivity features

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The latest OxygenOS 15 update brings Google’s Circle to Search and a new floating taskbar to the OnePlus Open and OnePlus Pad 2. Circle to Search allows users to quickly search anything on their screen by tapping, highlighting, or drawing over it. The floating taskbar, while aiming to balance productivity and screen real estate, lacks a quick toggle to switch styles and on tablets, it requires disabling gesture navigation for the fixed version. OnePlus m

I still recommend this OnePlus Watch over competing Androids - especially at this price

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Enter the code JUNE25 at OnePlus' website to save $70 on the OnePlus Watch 2. When OnePlus announced the OnePlus Watch in 2021, I immediately placed an order because the hardware looked compelling and was priced at $159. After a few weeks, I returned the device due to its sheer lack of offering anything of value. The original OnePlus Watch was powered by the Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), which was perfectly fine, as many smartwatches run lean and mean. However, last year'

OnePlus Watch 3 Review: The Best Battery Life of Any Android Smartwatch

CNET’s expert staff reviews and rates dozens of new products and services each month, building on more than a quarter century of expertise. Editor's note, June 16, 2025: OnePlus released a smaller 43mm version of the OnePlus Watch 3 in silver stainless steel. This review has been updated to reflect the new addition to the lineup.

I recommend OnePlus' lateset flagship phone over the S25 Ultra - here's why

ZDNET's key takeaways The OnePlus 13 is a snappy, nearly no-compromise phone that starts at $899. A Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with a 6,000mAh battery and 80W fast charging, is a recipe for endurance success. IP69 is almost excessive, but you'll appreciate it when least expected. $999.99 at Best Buy Purchase the OnePlus 13 from Best Buy and you'll receive a free $100 gift card.

This midrange OnePlus phone undercuts the Galaxy S25 and delivers a flagship experience

ZDNET's key takeaways OnePlus 13R costs $599 and features a bright display, powerful performance, and fast charging. It doesn't have a flagship camera system and wireless charging. But for the money, you won't find a more balanced handset. View now at OnePlus View now at Best Buy more buying choices Purchase the OnePlus 13R at Best Buy, and you'll receive a free $100 gift card.

The OnePlus Nord 5 features a powerful Snapdragon 8 chip

OnePlus just announced the Nord 5 smartphone, a refresh of its popular mid-range handset line. This one includes a flagship Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 chipset by Qualcomm, which should provide plenty of raw power for gaming, multitasking and general use. There's an upgraded cooling system here, along with support for LPDDR5X RAM. It features a dual rear camera system and will be available in a pale blue finish that's officially called "Dry Ice." The company says the upgraded specs allow the Nord 5 to

OnePlus 15 leak teases big changes, and not everyone’s going to be happy

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR A new leak suggests that the upcoming OnePlus flagship, likely the OnePlus 15, will feature a flat 6.78-inch 1.5K display and the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset. It is expected to have a 50MP triple camera setup, with a large primary camera and a periscope zoom camera. OnePlus could also be moving away from its Hasselblad partnership in favor of launching its own “image” brand. The OnePlus 13 ticks all the right boxes for a top-tier

OnePlus is readying 5 new devices for its July launch, including a smaller Watch 3 and Buds 4

TL;DR OnePlus has announced its Summer Launch event, which is set for July 8. The event will feature five new devices, though not all will be available in the US. The launch includes the OnePlus Buds 4 with dual drivers and low-latency features, and the smaller OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm). In addition to wearables and earbuds, OnePlus will also unveil the OnePlus Pad Lite tablet, the OnePlus Nord 5, and Nord CE 5. OnePlus has been making not just great phones, but also some great audio and wearabl

OnePlus announces the Nord 5 and four more products

OnePlus has announced five new products, including a new phone from its popular Nord lineup, which will launch in Europe and India next month. The company will release two phones, a tablet, a smartwatch, and a pair of earbuds, and has already shared a handful of details for each device, though full specs and prices will have to wait until the launch event on July 8th. The Nord 5 is the latest in the company’s mid-range smartphone line, and is the first Nord to feature a flagship Qualcomm chip —

I love the OnePlus 13, but the official wireless charger is just maddening

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’m a chaotic gadget charger, topping up my phone as and when rather than sticking to a rigorous overnight routine like a normal person. As such, you might think that wireless charging would be right up my street — pop the phone down, give it a little juice, and be back on my way. Unfortunately, wireless charging is notoriously slow, meaning that even half an hour on the dock is seldom enough for me. Thankfully, a few brands, mainly from China, offer fast(er)

It’s time for OnePlus tablets to copy the iPad

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I like the OnePlus Pad 3 — in fact, it might be my favorite Android tablet right now. It’s big and powerful, yet light enough and slim enough for life on the go. There’s just one problem: It costs $700. The series didn’t always cost that much, but it does now, and there’s no good way around that. There’s also no good way to recommend another OnePlus tablet to someone who can’t afford the Pad 3, because OnePlus has a habit of retiring its older slates as soon as a

OnePlus Watch 3s with the ‘Meda’ typo are limited editions, OnePlus jokes

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Early buyers of the OnePlus Watch 3 have noticed there’s a typo on the backplate. The standard “Made in China” engraving reads “Meda in China.” OnePlus has now apologized for the typo and says users can send their smartwatch back, no questions asked. The OnePlus Watch 3 just launched this week, but it didn’t take long for early buyers to notice something off about the smartwatch. OnePlus is now apologizing for the error. If you’re unaware of the quirky i

OnePlus 13R vs. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: Which Cheaper Flagship Is Best?

The $600 OnePlus 13R and the $650 Samsung Galaxy S24 FE each have a similar mission: Provide a phone that includes all the essential features of more-expensive phones by scaling back on certain hardware and software features. Ideally, this approach should get you all the essential features of the more expensive OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy S24 phones, and in-turn, scale back on features that are less noticeable or important. However, I do think OnePlus and Samsung take very different approache

The OnePlus Watch 3 has an unfixable but endearing typo

is a senior reporter focusing on wearables, health tech, and more with 13 years of experience. Before coming to The Verge, she worked for Gizmodo and PC Magazine. When I received my OnePlus Watch 3 review unit, part of me wondered, “What’s gonna be wrong with this one?” Now, I know. On the backplate, permanently engraved in stainless steel, is a typo. Instead of reading “Made in China,” it reads “Meda in China.” To be fair, this is a minuscule error. I didn’t even notice it on my review unit u

The world’s thinnest foldable phone doesn’t come cheap

Oppo has launched the Find N5, the thinnest foldable phone in the world. It’s launching in markets worldwide, including across Europe and Asia, at $2,499 SGD (about $1,867 USD). That’s more expensive than either the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold in Singapore, though comparable once you adjust for storage. There won’t be any US release at all though, as sister brand OnePlus has already confirmed that it has no plans to launch a foldable phone this year. The Find N5 is slimme

Whoops: OnePlus ‘meda’ big mistake with the OnePlus Watch 3

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority TL;DR OnePlus appears to have made a surprising manufacturing typo on the new OnePlus Watch 3. The standard “Made in China” engraving has been misspelled as “Meda in China” on the watch’s backplate. The Watch 3 is an impressive upgrade otherwise, delivering enhanced battery life and a robust suite of health and fitness features. OnePlus recently unveiled its new OnePlus Watch 3, a feature-packed smartwatch sporting Wear OS 5, improved battery life, and a ref
