History

OnePlus
One

OnePlus was founded on 16 December


2013 by former Oppo vice-president Pete
Lau and Carl Pei.[9] According to Chinese
public records, OnePlus' only institutional
shareholder is Oppo Electronics.[1] Lau
denied that OnePlus was a wholly owned
subsidiary of Oppo and stated that Oppo
Electronics and not Oppo Mobile (the
phone manufacturer) is a major investor of
OnePlus and that they are "in talks with
other investors."[10] The company's main
goal was to design a smartphone that
would balance high-end quality with a
lower price than other phones in its class,
believing that users would "Never Settle"
for the lower-quality devices produced by
other companies. Lau explained that "we
will never be different just for the sake of
being different. Everything done has to
improve the actual user experience in day-
to-day use."[11][12] He also showed
aspirations of being the "Muji of the tech
industry", emphasizing its focus on high-
quality products with simplistic, user-
friendly designs.[11] Continuing Lau's
association with the platform from the
Oppo N1,[12] OnePlus entered into an
exclusive licensing agreement with
Cyanogen Inc. to base its products'
Android distribution upon a variant of the
popular custom ROM CyanogenMod and
use its trademarks outside of China.[13][14]

The company unveiled its first device, the


OnePlus One, on 23 April 2014 which was
intended to capture market from the
Google Nexus series.[11] In December
2014, alongside the release of the OnePlus
One in India exclusively through Amazon,
OnePlus also announced plans to
establish a presence in the country, with
plans to open 25 official walk-in service
centres across India.[15]

In April 2014, OnePlus hired Han Han to


help market its products in mainland
China.[16]

On 9 March 2014, the company expanded


its operations to the European Union.[17]

On 16 December 2014, The Supreme Court


of India and Delhi High Court banned the
import and sale of OnePlus One phones
following a lawsuit by Micromax alleging it
has exclusivity for shipping phones with
Cyanogen OS software in India.[18] On 21
December 2014, the ban was lifted. The
device continues to be shipped with
Cyanogen OS; however, a customized
version of Android specially designed by
OnePlus and named OxygenOS has been
released, allowing later OnePlus devices to
be sold in India.[19][20]

OnePlus made its products available in


Southeast Asia for the first time,
partnering with Lazada Indonesia[21] on 23
January 2015 and was expected to expand
during that year throughout the region. In
June 2016, OnePlus decided to pull out of
the Indonesian market due to local
regulations for imported 4G smartphones
restricting sales of the OnePlus 2.[22]

At the launch event of the OnePlus 6 on 17


May 2018, OnePlus announced it would be
opening five new OnePlus Experience
stores in India, as well as 10 new service
centres.[23]

According to market research firm


Counterpoint Research, OnePlus topped
the Indian premium smartphone market
last year with a 33 percent share, beating
Samsung Electronics with 26 percent. In
the IDC survey, OnePlus ranked third in
India's market with more than $500 in the
first quarter of this year after Apple and
Samsung Electronics. And it ranked
second after China's Vivo in the 300-500-
dollar market.[24]

Advertising and marketing

Invitation system …

Early phones were only available through a


system whereby customers had to sign up
for an invite to purchase the phone at
irregular intervals. The system was
claimed to be necessary for the young
company to manage huge demand.[25]
OnePlus ended the invite system with the
launch of OnePlus 3 on 14 June 2016.[26]
Announced via an interactive VR launch
event, the OnePlus 3 initially went on sale
within the VR app itself. OnePlus touted
the event as the world's first VR shopping
experience.[27] The phone was made
available for sale later that day in China,
North America and the European Union on
the OnePlus website, and in India on
Amazon India.[17]

"Smash the Past" …


On 23 April 2014, OnePlus began its
"Smash the Past" campaign.[28] The
promotion asked selected participants to
destroy their phones on video in an effort
to purchase the OnePlus One for $1 (US).
Due to confusion, several videos were
published by unselected users
misinterpreting the promotion and
destroying their phones before the
promotion start date.[29][30] OnePlus later
revised the rules of their promotion by
allowing consumers to donate their old
phones.[31] There were 140,000 entrants in
the contest with 100 winners.[32]
Ladies First Controversy …

On 13 August 2014, OnePlus hosted a


contest to give invites, which were hard to
come by at the time, to their female forum
members. Users were asked to post a
photo of themselves with the OnePlus
logo, images would be shared in the forum
and could be "liked" by other forum
members. This received major backlash
for objectifying and degrading women
resulting in the contest being pulled within
hours.[33]

Brand Ambassador …
In May 2019, OnePlus made a deal with
‘Avengers’ actor Robert Downey Jr. to
endorse OnePlus 7 Pro. Before him, it was
Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan who used
to endorse OnePlus in India.[34]

Customer support
The customer support at OnePlus was
once the subject of strong criticism. In
2017, the company increased the number
of customer service staff and set-up
customer service and repair centers in
Asia, Europe and the United States, greatly
improving turnaround times for repairs
and other issues.[35]
OnePlus USB-C cable …

After several weeks of customer


complaints on OnePlus forums and on
Reddit, Google engineer Benson Leung
showed that the USB-C cable and USB-C-
to-Micro-USB adapter offered by OnePlus
at that time did not conform to the USB
specification. OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei
on 26 November 2015 admitted that the
cable and adapter did not conform to the
USB specification, and offered refunds
(although not for cables bundled with the
OnePlus 2 phone).[36][37][38]

Products
Phones …

OnePlus One …

OnePlus One

The company's first product was the highly


anticipated OnePlus One. It was unveiled
on 22 April 2014, and was claimed as the
"2014 Flagship Killer." The One 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.[39]

OnePlus One issue with yellow display


band at the bottom of the screen which
affected some units not covered under
warranty.[40][41]

OnePlus 2 …

The OnePlus 2 was the successor to the


company's highly successful first phone. It
was unveiled a little over a year after the
One, on 27 July 2015. It was highly
promoted as "2016 Flagship killer". 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 upcoming
phone. One of the marketing channels
used was YouTube tech reviewer MKBHD
who was sent a unit, which he covered in
detail leading up to the launch.

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.[42] The phone
was also one of the first Android devices
to sport a USB-C port over the older micro
USB port.[43]

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."[44][45]
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.[46]

OnePlus X …

The 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.

OnePlus 3 …

The OnePlus 3 was unveiled on 14 June


2016. The 3 was the company's first
"metal unibody" phone. The phone
launched with a Qualcomm Snapdragon
820, 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of UFS 2.0
storage.[47] The phone was well regarded
amongst critics, mostly for its low price
and high specifications.

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. 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.[48] Another
special edition colour was launched on 20
September 2017, in collaboration with
Castelbajac.[49]

OnePlus 5T …

The OnePlus 5T was unveiled on 16


November 2017, as the successor to the
OnePlus 5.[50] 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.

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.[51][52][53] 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. It has a 6.28 inches FHD+ Optic
AMOLED Display. It comes with a 16 MP
f/1.7 aperture primary sensor with OIS and
EIS and 20 MP f/1.7 aperture depth sensor
for portrait shots at the back and is able to
record at 4K resolution 60 FPS video and
16 MP f/2.0 aperture front camera at the
front with Electronic image stabilization
(EIS). It features a lithium-ion 3300 mA⋅h
battery and came with a 20 watts OnePlus
Dash Charge. It was available in 4 colours,
"Mirror" black, "Midnight" black, "Silk" white
and red. It was powered by the Qualcomm
Snapdragon 845 and Adreno 630.

OnePlus 6T …

The OnePlus 6T was unveiled on 29


October 2018. It launched with a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, a dual-lens
camera setup, up to 8 GB RAM, and up to
256 GB of storage. It also features a larger
6.41" 19.5:9 Optic AMOLED display with in-
display fingerprint sensor, and launched
with OxygenOS—based on Android Pie
(Android 9). The camera has a
'Nightscape' mode which uses a longer
exposure time to capture better photos in
poor lighting conditions.[54]

OnePlus set a Guinness World Record title


of "the most people unboxing a phone
simultaneously" on the launch of OnePlus
6T. [55]

This was the first OnePlus phone to come


with an in-display fingerprint scanner. This
is where OnePlus started to become a
huge competitor against Apple Inc, but
Apple have never had an in-display
fingerprint scanner in any of their phones.
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. [56]

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 simultaneously and
went on sale starting May 17. The OnePlus
7 Pro and OnePlus 7 are the first phones to
go on sale with Universal Flash Storage
(UFS) 3.0 storage. They are powered by
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 SoC and the
Adreno 640. Like the predecessor, they
come with an optical in-display fingerprint
sensor. The front camera has a 16 MP
sensor. They launched with Android 9.1
Pie and OxygenOS 9.5.0.[57]

The OnePlus 7 Pro features a curved edge-


to-edge 6.67" 19.5:9 FLUID AMOLED
display with a 3K resolution (3120×1440
pixels) and 90 Hz refresh rate. It comes in
three variants: 6 GB RAM with 128 GB
storage, 8 GB RAM with 256 GB storage
and 12 GB RAM option with 256 GB
storage. The OnePlus 7 Pro also features a
4000 mA⋅h non-removable battery along
with Warp Charge 30 technology.[58][59]
The budget OnePlus 7 which was
launched with the flagship Pro version,
comes in two colors, "Mirror" grey and
Nebula blue. It is available in 6 GB RAM
with 128 GB of internal storage, or 8 GB
RAM with 128 or 256 GB of internal
storage. It features a 6.41 inches FHD+
Optic Amoled Display (2340×1080 pixels
resolution). The rear camera has a 48 MP
Sony IMX 586 primary sensor along with a
5 MP depth sensor.

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+ 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 128GB 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.

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
optimal solution is called ‘Electronic CMF.'
The rest of the design is inspired by the
McLaren 720S supercar, with Papaya
Orange leather on the rear of this concept
phone and a sliver of glass right down the
center of the rear panel of the device.[60]

OnePlus 8 and 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 30W). 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. 3D Corning Gorilla
Glass feature has been given for the
protection of the display in OnePlus 8. 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 identical 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.[61][62] 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 7T series,
they ship with Android 10 and OxygenOS
10.0 pre-installed.

OnePlus Nord …

The OnePlus Nord was unveiled on July


21, 2020, and will be released on August 4
in Europe and India. The Nord is the first
midrange smartphone from OnePlus since
the OnePlus X. It does not have wireless
charging or water resistance, but supports
Warp Charge 30T. Additionally, the Nord
has a single loudspeaker without Dolby
Atmos in place of the 8 and 8 Pro's stereo
loudspeakers. The Nord has a display
cutout in the upper left hand corner like
the 8 and 8 Pro, which is elongated to
accommodate the dual front-facing
cameras. It uses a Fluid AMOLED display
with a 1080p 20:9 resolution and 90 Hz
refresh rate like the 8, however it has a
compact 6.44-inch screen with a flat
display and it does support HDR10+.

The Nord is powered by the Snapdragon


765G, Adreno 620 GPU and supports 5G.
The battery capacity is slightly lower than
the 8 at 4115 mAh. It is available in three
non-expandable storage configurations, 6
GB RAM / 64 GB UFS, 8 GB RAM / 128 GB
UFS, and 12 GB RAM / 256 GB UFS. The 6
GB RAM / 64 GB UFS variant is exclusive
to Indian market. The camera array
consists of a 48 MP wide sensor, an 8 MP
ultrawide sensor, a 5 MP depth sensor, and
a 2 MP macro sensor. The front has a 32
MP wide sensor and an 8 MP ultrawide
sensor. Facial recognition and an optical
in-display fingerprint scanner are present
as well. It will be available in Blue Marble
and Gray Onyx, and ships with Android 10
and OxygenOS 10.5 pre-installed.
Wireless earphones …

OnePlus Bullets Wireless …

Oneplus Bullets Wireless

At the launch event of the OnePlus 6, the


company also announced the OnePlus
Bullets Wireless earphones. The
earphones have the company's Dash
Charge technology with a USB-C port that
allows five hours of playback for 10
minutes of charging. The earbuds feature
a weather-resistant design and operates
on Bluetooth connectivity with aptX
technology. The Bullets Wireless
earphones also supports Google Assistant
from a button click. They went on sale at
their website for $69.[63]

OnePlus released the Bullets Wireless 2


alongside the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro on May
14. The primary improvements to this 2nd
generation are the sound quality (using a
10mm driver instead of a 7.2mm one in
the Bullets Wireless v1), better battery life
and charging speed (Warp Charge
compatible), as well as a new design
which removed the need of earhooks,
while still fitting comfortably in the ears
and not falling on their own.[64]

In the month of May 2020, OnePlus


introduced a less expensive version of the
predecessor OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 in
the form of OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z, in
India.[65]The major highlight of this product
is 10 minutes of charging powers 10 hours
of playback time.[66] The overall playback
time is 20 hours.

OnePlus Buds …

The OnePlus Nord's announcement was


accompanied by the release of OnePlus
Buds earbuds. The Buds have an entirely
plastic design with a case similar to
AirPods. The case allows for ten hours of
playback for 10 minutes of charging; the
earbuds have seven hours with a total
playback of thirty hours. The earburds
support Warp Charge and the charging
case has Type-C port. The Buds have an
IPX4 water resistance and support for
Dolby Atmos. They are priced at $79 on
the OnePlus website.[67]

Wireless Chargers …

OnePlus Warp Charge 30 Wireless …


With the release of the OnePlus 8 Series,
the company also announced the OnePlus
Warp Charge 30 Wireless. This is the first
ever wireless charger manufactured by
OnePlus, and it is able to achieve a peak
output of 30W when charging the OnePlus
8 Pro.[68] The company promises that it
can charge 50% of the phone's battery in
under 30 minutes, making it the fastest
wireless charger available in the
market.[69] The Warp Charge 30 Wireless is
also compatible with regular Qi devices,
although at a slower rate of 5W. It was
initially released at a starting price of
$69.95 for the pad and $79.95 for
stand.[70]
TVs …

OnePlus TV …

In September 2018, the company


confirmed[71] it plans to venture into the
smart TVs market with the OnePlus TV.
The new division will be headed by the
company CEO Pete Lau. OnePlus has later
specified that the OnePlus TV will run a
version of Google's Android TV operating
system and that it will cost less than
competing televisions.[72]
