The Most Important Mobile Phones in OnePlus History
With the renowned mobile phone leaker, Evan Blass (@evleaks) effectively killing the hope of a more budget-friendly OnePlus 9E/ SE/ Lite, the smartphone enthusiasts may have to do with another phone. The flagship killing brand may no longer live up to their nickname, but OnePlus still have two great budget phones in their OnePlus Nord Lineup.
However, the company is no Apple or Samsung. Rather, it’s a small company that rose to the pinnacle of mobile phone fanfare with smart strategy and incredible value propositions. So, today, let’s look back at the brilliant journey that OnePlus had so far, and find out their most important smartphone releases below.
OnePlus One
There is nothing quite like the first time, is there? Announced back in April 2014, the OnePlus One is the company’s very first attempt at a smartphone. With the ‘Never Settle’ tagline, the mobile phone came out featuring flagship-level specs and features, yet cost almost half of the most premium devices. It also listened to the developer communities, featuring a developer variant of the Android OS, and offering regular updates.
OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro
After years of manufacturing affordable flagship phones, the OnePlus finally made the leap into the mainstream with the introduction of the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro. The former is pretty similar to what the brand is renowned for, but the OnePlus 7 Pro was a truly premium device. It still cost less than the market flagships despite offering more features, but the brand was no longer just a brand of budget-friendly users.
OnePlus Nord
With the introduction of the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro, as well as the subsequent OnePlus 8T mobile phones, the manufacturer has become an integral part of the smartphone royalty. Yet, the brand didn’t forget about your ‘Never Settle’ philosophy that made them so popular. To bridge the gap between premium and affordable, the OnePlus Nord was released.
