With a loyal fanbase and a reputation for innovation, OnePlus is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the mobile and tech industry.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2\">Latest OnePlus releases<\/h2>\n<p>Wondering what exactly OnePlus offers in terms of tech? Here are the latest releases from the 2024 OnePlus launch:<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"3\" style=\"text-align: center;\">OnePlus 12<\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mattmoniz\/video\/7324328660956237061\" data-video-id=\"7324328660956237061\">\n<section><a title=\"@mattmoniz\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mattmoniz?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@mattmoniz<\/a> OnePlus 12 Unboxing &amp; First Look! <a title=\"oneplus\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/oneplus?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#oneplus<\/a> <a title=\"oneplus12\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/oneplus12?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#oneplus12<\/a> <a title=\"unboxing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/unboxing?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#unboxing<\/a> <a title=\"\u266c 7am - RMT\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/7am-7165235951155824641?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c 7am &#8211; RMT<\/a><\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The OnePlus 12 is arguably the best OnePlus phone on the market right now, offering powerful performance and incredible camera capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Starting at \u00a3849 and increasing to \u00a3999, the OnePlus 12 is by far the most expensive flagship model OnePlus has released. The cheaper model comes in Flowy Emerald and offers 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, while the more expensive option comes in Silky Black and has 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find a 6.82-inch 2K 120Hz Pro XDR display on the OnePlus 12 with advanced LTPO for brighter, more vibrant visuals. This model also comes with Aqua Touch technology for smoother swiping. You can choose between charging this device wirelessly or via the charging cable too.<\/p>\n<p>The OnePlus 12 features the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and runs on the latest version of OxygenOS 14 based on Android 14, making it one of the most powerful Android smartphones to date. It has an IP65 rating, meaning it can withstand low-pressure water jets and is protected from total dust ingress.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the camera setup, you\u2019ll get a 4th Gen Hasselblad camera system featuring three lenses: 50MP (f\/1.6) wide, 64MP (f\/2.6) periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom and 48MP (f\/2.2) ultra-wide. On the front of the OnePlus 12, you\u2019ll find a 32MP (f\/2.4) selfie shooter.<\/p>\n<p>OnePlus has added its largest VC cooling system yet to the OnePlus 12 for improved heat dissipation efficiency. You\u2019ll also find a huge 5400mAh battery that will last you the whole day and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for added protection from accidental drops.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"4\" style=\"text-align: center;\">OnePlus 12R<\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@zenmaruu\/video\/7332172492942937350\" data-video-id=\"7332172492942937350\">\n<section><a title=\"@zenmaruu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@zenmaruu?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@zenmaruu<\/a> Unboxing Oneplus 12R in Cool Blue \u2727\u02da \u0f18 \u22c6\uff61\u02da\u2601\ufe0f\ud83e\ude75 Omg!

The OnePlus 12R is essentially a budget-friendly version of the 12, keeping the fan-favourite features and switching out the lesser desired ones to make the model cheaper.<\/p>\n<p>Priced at \u00a3649, you can buy the OnePlus 12R in only one colour and storage size: Iron Grey with 16GB RAM and 256GB of storage. The OnePlus 12R makes up for the limited colour and storage options with its massive 5500mAh battery. This is the biggest battery to ever go into a OnePlus smartphone and offers ultra-fast 100W SUPERVOOC charging to give you up to two days&#8217; worth of charge in just 26 minutes!<\/p>\n<p>The OnePlus 12R has a slightly older Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor when compared to the OnePlus 12, but the performance speeds will still be just as impressive. You\u2019ll notice that the OnePlus 12R is a little smaller when it comes to the display; it has a 6.78-inch 120Hz ProXDR display with the same advanced LTPO and Aqua Touch technology. You\u2019ll also find the same VC cooling system on the OnePlus 12R as the OnePlus 12.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the camera setup, you\u2019ll get a 50MP (f\/1.8) wide lens, an 8 MP (f\/2.2) ultra-wide lens and a 2 MP (f\/2.4) macro lens on the rear of the phone. On the front, you\u2019ll find a 16MP (f\/2.4) selfie camera.<\/p>\n<p>The IP rating and charging features have been reduced to keep costs lower, so you won\u2019t be able to use wireless charging with the OnePlus 12R and will have to be a bit more careful around water. It has an IP64 rating, meaning it\u2019s protected from total dust ingress and water spray.<\/p>\n<p>While this model lacks a few of the premium features of the 12, the OnePlus 12R is the best OnePlus phone for those on a budget!<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"5\" style=\"text-align: center;\">OnePlus Buds 3<\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@danielsinfilms\/video\/7332132024112663850\" data-video-id=\"7332132024112663850\">\n<section><a title=\"@danielsinfilms\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@danielsinfilms?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@danielsinfilms<\/a> Unboxing the OnePlus Buds 3! <a title=\"oneplus\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/oneplus?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#oneplus<\/a> <a title=\"oneplusbuds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/oneplusbuds?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#oneplusbuds<\/a> <a title=\"oneplusbuds3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/oneplusbuds3?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#oneplusbuds3<\/a> <a title=\"earbuds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/earbuds?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#earbuds<\/a> <a title=\"wirelessearbuds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/wirelessearbuds?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#wirelessearbuds<\/a> <a title=\"unboxing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/unboxing?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#unboxing<\/a> <a title=\"\u266c original sound - Daniel Sin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7332132295895190318?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Daniel Sin<\/a><\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The OnePlus Buds 3 is a great set of midrange earbuds for those who want better quality than the Nord range without paying the hefty price of the Buds Pro series.<\/p>\n<p>For \u00a399, you\u2019ll get dual dynamic drivers with Basswave Enhancement technology and hi-res audio with LHDC 5.0 for a crisper, clearer sound. You\u2019ll also get up to 49dB adaptive noise cancellation!<\/p>\n<p>These OnePlus earbuds have touch volume control and an IP55 rating, meaning they are protected from limited dust ingress and low pressure water jets.

OnePlus has got you covered there too! The OnePlus Watch 2 is the newest OnePlus smartwatch to hit the market, featuring a 1.42-inch AMOLED display with a sapphire crystal front.<\/p>\n<p>Priced at \u00a3299, this smartwatch has Bluetooth and wifi connectivity, however it doesn\u2019t offer cellular connectivity. The battery life is quite impressive, offering up to 100 hours of battery life when in Smart Mode.<\/p>\n<p>This OnePlus smartwatch model sports a Snapdragon W5 chipset with dual frequency GPS, 32GB ROM and 2GB of RAM. You\u2019ll notice enhanced sports tracking and an IP68 rating, meaning it can withstand up to 1.5m for up to 30 minutes. It\u2019s currently available in Black Steel or Radiant Steel in 46mm.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"7\">Still to be released<\/h2>\n<p>Since we\u2019re still in the first half of 2024, it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll see a few more OnePlus products released later in the year. While there aren\u2019t too many rumours spreading so far, it sounds like OnePlus will release another foldable phone and their next line of Nord devices.<\/p>\n<p>The OnePlus Nord models are midrange smartphones, so we\u2019re expecting to see smaller price tags compared to the OnePlus 12. While you can find the Nord 3 in stores right now, leaks suggest that the next Nord series will skip the 4 altogether and be named Nord 5 instead. We expect there to be a OnePlus Nord 5, OnePlus Nord CE 5 and a OnePlus Nord CE 5 Lite to match the previous Nord range. Since last year\u2019s Nord models were released in July, rumours suggest that OnePlus will drop their Nord 5 range in July 2024.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also expecting a successor to last year\u2019s OnePlus One foldable phone, the OnePlus Open 2. There\u2019s not much yet known about this device, although we expect OnePlus to release the phone later this year in October. As we know, foldable phones are on the pricey side, so the OnePlus Open 2 will no doubt cost a pretty penny!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Get cash for your old phone when you sell mobile phones with musicMagpie!
