Exactly one year ago, OnePlus crashed the expensive phone party with the announcement of the OnePlus One, a phone that brought the heat with powerful specifications at a relatively low price tag. Fast forward one year later, and OnePlus is celebrating its birthday by announcing several discounts and giving away a few phones.

Starting with the discounts, OnePlus discounted a good number of them, including the screen protector, several cases, earphones, and an OTG cable, which turns the Micro USB slot on the OnePlus One into a regular USB port. Unfortunately, the Bamboo StyleSwap Cover isn’t discounted from its rather expensive $50 price tag, but you still have a good selection of discounted, useful accessories. You can find the complete list of them at the end of this post.

There are also other discounts, including 50 percent off OnePlus t-shirts and a whopping $1 off the One. This is more of a symbolic discount, since both the 16GB and 64GB One variants are already pretty affordable. They normally go for $300 and $350, respectively.

In addition to the discounts, OnePlus also announced that four people will each win a OnePlus One bundle. This bundle includes either the Silk White (16GB) or Sandstone Black (64GB) One and a matching Power Bank. The Power Bank seems to be in high demand, since as of this writing, the page doesn’t even exist for it.

OnePlus recently removed its invite system for the One, allowing everyone to buy the phone outright. It might not be the newest phone on the block, but with the recent rollout of the in-house OxygenOS and CyanogenMod 12S, it manages to stay relevant.

The OnePlus 12 is the newest phone from OnePlus — and one of the best new phones of 2024. It features a 6.82-inch 2K (QHD+) AMOLED display that uses LTPO technology. It also has a triple-lens rear camera system comprising a 50MP primary sensor, a 48MP ultrawide sensor, and a 64MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom. Additionally, it's powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and has up to 16GB of memory and other exciting features. It's a packed spec list, to say the least.

However, there's one thing we haven't addressed yet: Does the OnePlus 12 have a curved screen? And if so, is it a problem you should worry about? Here's what you need to know.

This new Android phone is one of the most stunning I’ve ever seen
OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Edition.

One of the problems I have with smartphone design these days is that most phones are boring. We have the same old glass slab phones in muted, boring colors that aren’t fun. They get the job done, but that's about it. And I’m tired of that! I want something cool and exciting in terms of phone design.

OnePlus revealed a new Genshin Impact Edition of its OnePlus 12R phone during Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024. Though I’m not a huge Genshin Impact fan, this is one of the prettiest collaborations I’ve seen in a long time. It’s a breath of fresh air in a stale market, and I want to see more of this.
Striking and elegantly designed hardware
