OnePlus has just dropped some exciting news that's shaking up the typical smartphone launch calendar. The brand is accelerating its timeline in a major way, bringing its latest flagship to global markets much sooner than anyone expected. That is a clear shift from the delayed international rollouts that have frustrated fans for years. The OnePlus 15 will launch globally on November 13, a break from past patterns that typically saw months-long gaps between regional releases.

The smartphone industry has hit a fascinating inflection point. We're asking more of our devices than ever, marathon gaming sessions, all day video calls, constant social media scrolling, navigation that never sleeps. Yet most flagship phones still leave us scrambling for chargers by dinner time. OnePlus seems to have noticed, and the upcoming OnePlus 15 might be the answer to our collective battery anxiety. Sound familiar?

OnePlus just dropped a bombshell, the kind that might make Samsung sweat. The company officially announced through Weibo that the OnePlus 15 will pack a massive 7,300mAh battery. Not just impressive; it flips the script and makes the Galaxy S25 Ultra's expected 5,000mAh pack look quaint by comparison.

OnePlus is talking a big game about its next flagship, pitching the OnePlus 15's display as a straight upgrade. Peek under the hood of leaks and official teasers, and the story gets more layered. The company's president Li Jie Louis has been teasing an "ultra-high" refresh rate display, according to NotebookCheck, and leaks point to 165Hz, the highest the brand has tried.

OnePlus has officially unveiled OxygenOS 16, a sharp turn in design that nudges the Android experience closer to iOS territory. With the OnePlus 15 launch approaching in just a few months, as officially confirmed for both China and global markets, this update represents OnePlus's most ambitious software redesign yet. The timing lands right as Android 16 has settled into the market, making this OxygenOS 16's official debut moment.

OnePlus is taking a bold step into the AI-powered smartphone era with its upcoming OxygenOS 16, and the integration with Google's Gemini is shaping up to be a game-changer. OxygenOS 16 will feature tight integration with Google's Gemini, allowing it to access OnePlus' Mind Space function and many more first-party built-in OnePlus apps. This is not just another AI feature tossed into the settings. It is a plan to make your phone actually work with your personal data. OnePlus introduced the AI...

OnePlus is making waves again, but this time with some intriguing mathematical logic. OnePlus has announced that the OnePlus 15 premium smartphone will soon debut, and they are skipping the number 14 entirely. Why the leap? Rumor has it OnePlus is dodging that number for cultural reasons, jumping straight from 13 to 15. In OnePlus math, 13 plus one equals 15, and honestly, that is not the strangest thing we have seen in the tech world.

OnePlus has long pushed smartphone design, yet the upcoming OnePlus 15 seems to take a cue from an unexpected place, Apple’s iPhone. Recent leaks point to a look that breaks from recent flagships, with major camera upgrades and a distinct feature straight from the iPhone playbook. The latest leaks show a square camera module, a sharp turn from the brand’s circular designs. The timing is no coincidence, OnePlus is moving away from the Hasselblad partnership to build its own imaging engine.

Picture this: you're juggling multiple devices, each with its own charging cable, and your desk looks like a tech graveyard. The OnePlus 2-in-1 Supervooc Cable might just be the clutter-buster you never knew you needed.

Picture this: OnePlus drops news about a 7,100mAh battery in the upcoming Nord CE5, and suddenly everyone's talking about all-day power that could outlast your weekend camping trip. But here's where things get interesting — that massive cell isn't coming to every region. The OnePlus Nord CE5 sports a massive 7,100mAh battery, but not in every region, which means your location might determine whether you get this power-packed experience or something more traditional.

A great way to incorporate a healthy exercise routine is by taking lots of steps throughout the day. While most smartphones can track and report your steps via a third-party app, you can check them right from your home screen if you have a OnePlus phone.

Your phone tracks your every move to some extent, and I'm not just talking about Google services. Smartphone manufacturers use telemetry services that run in the background to track how you use the device, mostly for ads or to improve their future products. You don't usually have a say in the matter, but if you have a rooted OnePlus, there's a way you can take control over it.

We all know Android updates have been iffy in the past. But Google has implemented several measures recently that have sped up the process substantially, and OnePlus is taking advantage of these. Still, a staged rollout update might keep you waiting for a few days or longer. So if you'd rather skip the wait, there's a better way to manually check for system updates.

TWRP has been the king of custom recovery on Android for years now, thanks to device compatibility and core features. But there's a new player in town — at least, for OnePlus devices — and it's got a lot of useful features that might finally get you to ditch TWRP.

If you have ever wanted to mod your Android device, your new best friend is easily going to be Team Win's TWRP custom recovery. This gives you access to file flashing on the fly, which can include such things as Magisk for root access, or even a custom ROM to replace the stock firmware that came with the device.

Multiple methods can be used to update OnePlus phones, but if you're rooted with TWRP installed, you might want to try this one out for yourself. The update method outlined in this guide works like a charm while maintaining your root status after an OTA update. One of the best parts about it — you don't have to rely on a computer like you did when you rooted the first time around.

When it comes to modding your Android device, you'll want to be familiar with the TWRP name and what it stands for. It's a tool that you'll be using to make NANDroid backups or to install just about any mod file you can think of — the number of uses is quite awesome. You'll mostly be after Magisk for root access and potentially a custom kernel as well.

We've seen some Android phones in the past make answering calls as simple as lifting the phone to your ear. Although it's not a highly mentioned feature, you can enable this setting on your OnePlus device in a few taps and stop having to fumble with an on-screen slider or button.

UPDATE:The OnePlus 8 Pro has been released! Check it out on the official OnePlus website or read through the rumored specs we've left below for posterity.

OnePlus phones are easy to root, but that also means they're easy to brick if you get trigger happy with your superuser privileges. If you find yourself in this situation, you'll quickly realize the OnePlus firmware download page doesn't provide files you can flash in Fastboot mode.

OnePlus releases some unique and exciting features before they start catching on with everyone else. Their OxygenOS is often considered the cleanest and most useful variant of Android. However, there are still a few key features OnePlus has yet to bring to their devices. This includes a proper lift to wake option.

There are quite a few ways to take screenshots on Android, but not all are so obvious. In fact, the best methods are often gesture shortcuts, hidden from sight by the OEM. OnePlus is no exception.

Spam calls are one of the most annoying things to happen in the world of smartphones for more than one reason. Not only are they bothersome, but they can also be dangerous to people who don't know any better. Google has come up with a crafty solution known as "Call Screen" to let the Google Assistant handle the call for you while you listen in on the caller like a stealth ninja.

OnePlus often introduces unique features that receive praise from the smartphone community. But they can sometimes change things up and confuse their users as well. Take dark mode, for example, which became a huge hit thanks to Android 10. Both Google and Samsung offer their dark mode settings in the same general location, but OnePlus took a slightly different approach here.

The biggest new feature in Android 10 is the system-wide dark mode. Both Samsung and Google phones have it, so third-party support is everywhere. The only problem is OnePlus forgot to include a way to quickly toggle dark mode on and off.

OnePlus has purposefully made their devices easy to root so that you can spend less time waiting and more time doing. These phones are a solid choice for anyone looking to dive into the rooting and modding scene. Using the same principles that Google has with the Pixel line, you can always be sure your OnePlus 7 Pro will get first-class treatment from launch day and beyond.

Something entirely new for many people is where the future of navigation is headed — gestures. Gesture navigation not only gives you more screen real estate, but it allows for a seamless experience without needing to lift your finger as much. OnePlus knows you want to tap less and do more, so they added a quick camera gesture you should be aware of to make your experience that much better.

You might prefer a dedicated button, whether physical or digital, to bring up your digital assistant. Pixel phones have the squeeze function to bring up the assistant, but what about OnePlus phones? Luckily, OnePlus has included a feature that uses your power button to act as your assistant button of sorts.

The Facebook app only supports one account being logged in at a time — but what if you need one for work and one for your personal life? That would normally involve logging out and logging in every time you need to switch accounts, but your OnePlus device offers a much better solution.

One of the more interesting power-related features for OnePlus phones is the ability to schedule a time to turn it, off then back on again. While OnePlus phones typically run blazingly fast, you can still benefit from the RAM clearing and process killing that a reboot provides. And since you can schedule this to happen overnight, you can wake up to a refreshed, restarted phone every morning.

Pixels and other near-stock Android phones have the Google Feed baked into their home screen, but sadly, the default OnePlus Launcher doesn't. Even more disappointing is the fact that the OnePlus Launcher actually has the Google Feed code built into it, but it's not activated. Let's change that.
