OnePlus started out in late 2013, and launched its first smartphone in early 2014 – the OnePlus One. It was something completely different from the other smartphones on the market. A high-end smartphone, with flagship specs, and CyanogenOS on-board for just $250. It also had a 256GB model that was not seen at the time, that was a bit more money.
However, since then, OnePlus has gone from the scrappy startup that sent out invites to buy their phones, to being one of the biggest Android makers in the world. Of course, part of that is due to its parent company – BBK Electronics, which also owns OPPO, Realme, Vivo and a few other brands. But we have seen a number of great smartphones coming out of OnePlus over the years, and today, we’re going to tell you the best OnePlus smartphones that are on the market today.
OnePlus Open
- Price: $1,699
- Released: October 2023
- Where to buy: Amazon
The OnePlus Open is the company’s newest smartphone, and its first foldable. It’s a pretty impressive foldable from OnePlus, that pretty much knocks every other foldable out of the park. It sports a 6.3-inch 20:9 front display, and a 7.6-inch main display, both of which are 2K resolution and sport peak brightness of 2,800 nits. That’s the most on any smartphone right now.
Internally, the OnePlus Open runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It also has a pretty massive battery at 4,805mAh. OnePlus Open is running on Android 13 and will get Android 14 pretty soon.
OnePlus 11
- Price: $699
- Where to buy: Amazon
- Released: February 2023
The OnePlus 11 is the newest smartphone from the company. It rights a lot of the wrongs from the OnePlus 10 Pro and 10T. Like bringing back the Alert Slider, but it also removes wireless charging. It’s a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz Adaptive AMOLED display, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Or 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There’s also a pretty large 5,000mAh capacity battery inside.
OnePlus is promising that the 11 will get four years of updates. So it should get updated to Android 17.
OnePlus 10 Pro
- Price: $899
- Buy: OnePlus.com
- Released: April 2022
We normally don’t do this, but the OnePlus 10 Pro has been announced in China, with the device coming to more markets after the Lunar New Year. Which is a major holiday in many Asian countries.
The OnePlus 10 Pro has all of the specs that you would expect from a new flagship in 2022. That includes a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz display, which is LTPO2. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. This is all powered by a 5000mAh capacity battery that should keep it going all-day long.
It also features upgraded Hasselblad cameras.
OnePlus 10T
- Price: $649
- Buy: Amazon
- Released: September 2022
The OnePlus 10T was announced in August, and released in September of 2022. It’s a really impressive smartphone that starts at just $649. It sports a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is inside, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There’s also a 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage model available. This is powered by a 4800mAh capacity battery inside.
The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 that is inside is very efficient, so the 4800mAh battery lasts quite a long time. And can recharge fully in under a half hour. Thanks to the 125W charging speeds.
OnePlus Nord N200
- Price: $209
- Buy: Amazon
- Released: June 2021
The OnePlus Nord N200 is one of the better Nord options from the company. And you’ll be surprised that it is only $209.
OnePlus Nord N200 has a 6.5-inch FHD+ 90Hz display, powered by the Snapdragon 480 5G chipset, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and a massive 5000mAh capacity battery. Obviously, this is not a high-end phone, but it is still a pretty capable phone, at just $200.
OnePlus 9
- Price: $599
- Buy: Amazon
- Released: March 2021
The OnePlus 9 is the non-pro 2021 flagship. It has a starting price of $729, which includes a 6.55-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, the Snapdragon 888 5G chipset, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. You can upgrade to 12GB/256GB too for only $829.
Of course, the OnePlus 9 series does run on Android 11 and OxygenOS 11. And it has been updated to Android 12 already, but it’s ColorOS and a lot of users are not happy. Additionally, OnePlus partnered with Hasselblad for their cameras this time around. So you’re getting some really great cameras out of this one too.
All powered by a 4500mAh capacity battery.
OnePlus Nord N100
- Price: $179
- Buy: Amazon
- Released: October 2020
The OnePlus Nord N100 is a much cheaper smartphone from the company, but it still doesn’t cut many corners, which is good to see.
Nord N100 comes in at around $180, with a 6.52-inch HD+ 90Hz display, with the Snapdragon 460 chipset inside. It also has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. With a 5000mAh capacity battery inside. And given the HD+ display here, that 5000mAh battery should last you a few days on a charge and then some.
OnePlus Nord CE
- Price; $465
- Buy; Amazon
- Released: June 2021
OnePlus Nord CE is not actually available in the US, so you’d be buying the EU variant here. It doesn’t come with a warranty but will work on AT&T and T-Mobile.
The Nord CE is one of the more higher-end smartphones that OnePlus has put out in the Nord lineup. It sports a 6.43-inch FHD+ 90hz display, powered by the Snapdragon 750 5G chipset, with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage on-board. That is all powered by a 4500mAh capacity battery on-board.
OnePlus Nord N20 5G
- Price: $299
- Buy: Amazon
- Released: April 2022
The OnePlus Nord N20 5G is a T-Mobile exclusive in the US, but it can also be bought unlocked now. It’s under $300, and a tad cheaper at T-Mobile if you plan to stay with them for two years.
It has a 6.43-inch FHD+ display, powered by the Snapdragon 695 5G processor, along with 6GB of RAM. There is also 128GB of storage available, along with a micro SD card slot, so there’s plenty of space for most people.
