OnePlus

OnePlus has announced its first challenger for the flagship foldable phone space, throwing down the gauntlet to more established rivals like Samsung and Google. The Open rocks a durable hinge, 2K 120-Hz OLED displays and Hasselblad-branded cameras.

As well as unveiling the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro flagship phones today, OnePlus has also debuted a brand new smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch. It's the company's second wearable after the OnePlus Band, which is currently only available in India.

The new year is a time to look forwards into the future as well as backwards into the past, and thanks to a series of leaks, rumors and early announcements, we already know (or think we know) what's coming down the line for smartphones in 2021.

The year 2020 has been a strange and disruptive one for all of us, but the smartphone industry has barely slowed down and we've seen some fantastic handsets appear. These are our picks for the very best phones that launched in 2020.

The OnePlus 8 phones launched in April as the flagship OnePlus phones for 2020, but OnePlus has a different aim for the newly unveiled Nord – it wants to give buyers the perfect balance between performance and price, a mid-range phone with no equal.

OnePlus has unveiled its first flagship phones of 2020, and it's fair to say that other handset makers are going to have to work hard to outdo the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro over the course of the year.

OnePlus has been running for close to six years now, launching phones that offer impressive specs without the hefty price tag of other flagships This year, for the first time, it launched two phones together, the mid-range OnePlus 7 and the premium OnePlus 7 Pro, which we're looking at here.

We've got used to OnePlus launching two flagship phones a year – one in May and one in October last year – but for 2019 it's decided to reveal two phones at once, unveiling the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro at media events held across the world.

​If you’re in the market for a new phone, Apple’s 2018 flagship phones are attractive, but there are plenty of other options out there. New Atlas is comparing the specs and features of the iPhone XR, XS and XS Max to 3 of the best underdog phones: the LG G7 ThinQ, the HTC U12+ and the OnePlus 6.

If you don’t want to buy into Apple or Samsung’s ecosystems, there are alternative flagships from decent brands with similar specs. Here New Atlas rounds up the specs and features of five of the best alternative phones: Sony Xperia XZ2, LG G7 ThinQ, HTC U12+, Huawei Mate 10 Pro and OnePlus 6.

Four years and eight phones down the line, the OnePlus mission remains the same: to offer flagship-quality phones at the cheapest possible price. We've spent the last week testing out the latest phone to aim for that goal, the brand new OnePlus 6, and here are our thoughts.

Since 2014, OnePlus has been launching smartphones that combine top specs with prices that are more in the mid-range. Though it hasn't always got the formula right, each new OnePlus phone has become eagerly anticipated, and the company just took the wraps off its 2018 flagship, the OnePlus 6.
