The OnePlus 12R is one of the year's best mid-range phones. It offers flagship specs, such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, an OLED display, excellent battery life, and a decent set of cameras at an affordable price. To make things better, you can save up to $100 off the phone by trading in any old device you have, no matter what condition the old phone might be in.

OnePlus Buds 3 review: It gets a lot of things right for the price

A good pair of earbuds for a reasonable price.

The new $100 OnePlus Buds 3 is a solid pair of earbuds for the company that's very easy to recommend, in my opinion. From great audio quality and noise canceling to good fit-and-finish and commendable battery life, there is a lot of value packaged here for what is a very reasonable asking price. It's not the only set of true wireless earbuds out in this price range, but they stack up very well against the competition and leave very little room to complain about.

OnePlus 12R review: Best value phone in America right now

The OnePlus 12R is a $500 phone that can be easily had for $400, and it offers flagship display, large battery and near-flagship processor too

OnePlus' R series has been selling in India the past few years as a budget version of the mainline OnePlus flagships. This year the company has decided to bring the R series to North America (and Europe) to a western audience, and I think the value proposition OnePlus is offering is going to impress a lot of people, provided they give this phone a look, because it's not available for purchase via carriers, which is going to be a hurdle in North America.

All smartphones — including the budget-friendly ones — have a built-in recovery mode, which you can use for a variety of tasks depending on the operating system of your device. On Android smartphones, it can be used for things like performing a simple factory reset, installing update packages, and clearing the cache, among other things. On an iPhone, the recovery mode is used to restore the device using your computer if it's experiencing issues like being stuck on the Apple logo while booting.

OnePlus today formally revealed its latest flagship, the OnePlus 12, although the phone was already available in China for over a month. The company's phones typically compete with the best phones of the year while hitting a lower price point, and that is truer than ever this year. To make things even better, the company is also bringing the OnePlus 12R to the global market, making it the first OnePlus R series phone to enter the U.S.

If you're looking for the perfect 2024 phone, the OnePlus 12 might just be ideal. Launched recently, this phone has everything you might want in a flagship Android device, such as the latest Snapdragon processor, up to 512GB storage, up to 16GB RAM, and a fantastic camera array. While the prices have certainly gone up compared to last year's models, you're still getting top-tier performance at a relatively lower price when compared to other flagship devices.

The OnePlus Open stole a lot of thunder from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 last fall, being named the "best foldable phone of 2023" by our team at XDA, our sister site Android Police, and perhaps the most famous phone reviewer in the world, Marques Brownlee. Can the OnePlus newest slab flagship do the same to the recently launched Galaxy S24 series?

I'm not sure if the OnePlus Open has sold enough units to make a dent in Samsung's foldable market share since not having carrier subsidies in North America is an obstacle, but it sure has stolen most of the thunder from Samsung on the critical front. I don't have an exact stat, but the OnePlus Open seems to have been hailed as the best foldable phone of 2023 by every tech publication or tech reviewer peer I've come across. And it's well deserved: Not only does the Open have objectively superior displays and camera hardware than rival foldables from Samsung and Google, but it also has arguably the best foldable software.

Dipping your toes into the Android modding world isn't a very complicated job, but you have to fulfill a few prerequisites. Be it rooting or installing a custom ROM like LineageOS, most of the aftermarket tinkering requires you to connect your Android smartphone to a computer using a USB cable, so you can use tools like the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to interact with the device. Things are usually more jolting for a power user, as they may also want to reinstall the factory firmware on the phone or tablet, which means the OEM-specific flashing utilities come into the picture as well.

5 reasons I like the OnePlus Open more than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 5

The first OnePlus foldable is much more than I thought it would be.

It's an exciting time to be a fan of foldables as the market is getting swarmed with a ton of new devices from various manufacturers. The OnePlus Open is the newest of the lot that's here to compete with the likes of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Pixel Fold in the U.S. market. It's essentially just an Oppo Find N3 that's rebranded as the OnePlus Open for the global market, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's a capable foldable. In fact, having used both the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the OnePlus Open now, I prefer OnePlus' new foldable over the tried-and-tested pick from Samsung for a few main reasons.

4 OxygenOS features that make OnePlus Open a great device for multitasking

I just wish it had stylus support, though.

One of the biggest reasons to consider a book-style foldable phone like the OnePlus Open is that you get access to a massive display. Productivity is a huge selling point for these big foldables, but only a few of them get all the multitasking features right. Google's Pixel Fold, for instance, is limited with its multitasking capabilities, whereas the Galaxy Z Fold 5 does a better job. I was a bit skeptical about using OxygenOS on the OnePlus Open's big screen mainly because I wasn't particularly impressed by its multitasking showcase on the OnePlus Pad, but OnePlus has definitely improved OxygenOS in that regard.
