About Oneplus

OnePlus gained popularity quickly, especially among tech enthusiasts, for its flagship “Flagship Killer” devices that boasted high-end specifications at a competitive price point. The company’s devices were known for their “Never Settle” philosophy, aiming to deliver exceptional user experiences and actively listening to customer feedback for product improvements.

OnePlus devices typically run on a customized version of Android called OxygenOS, which provides a near-stock Android experience with some added features and optimizations.

In addition to smartphones, OnePlus also ventured into other product categories, such as wireless earbuds (OnePlus Buds), smart TVs (OnePlus TV), and accessories.
