Can’t wait to get your OnePlus 2 or OnePlus X smartphone delivered? If you live in London, it could be worth hoping for a traffic jam or two, because the company is offering a 60-minute delivery service where if it’s even a minute late arriving, the phone won’t cost you anything at all.

OnePlus has teamed up with Henchman, an on-demand delivery service that promises to get any item at all delivered to you, meaning eager buyers wait no longer than an hour before the phone is in their hands.

The order process is a little different to usual (and no, we’re not going to suddenly start talking about those pesky invitations), in that it’s done through Henchman’s website, and not the OnePlus store. In addition to the advantage of that super-fast delivery, you may be in line to get a cool limited edition free gift bag with OnePlus goodies.

Also, if you decide to pick up the gorgeous OnePlus X, one person will get the Ceramic limited edition model, instead of the standard OnePlus X Onyx. It doesn’t do anything different, but there’s on denying the finish is something very special. There’s no change on the prices, even with the one-hour delivery, so a OnePlus 2 will cost £290 and the OnePlus X £200, unless you select one of the higher storage capacity models.

Henchman’s delivery service stretches across London, but there will only be a few phones available on January 21, although OnePlus says it will keep the stock topped up at various points during the day. Head over to Henchman’s website here to order a phone that’ll be with you less than an hour later, or it’ll be free.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this kind of fast delivery service for a smartphone. OnePlus did the same thing in India late last year, and before that, Xiaomi teamed up with Uber to hand-deliver the Mi Note smartphone to buyers in Singapore and Malaysia.

5 phones you should buy instead of the Google Pixel 8

The Google Pixel 8 is a well-received Android-based smartphone. However, there are reasons why you might not choose it and opt for something else. Perhaps its 6.2-inch display does not meet your requirements, or its camera system does not match your expectations. It could also be possible that you would prefer a phone released in 2024 instead of one launched late last year.

If you’re not interested in buying the Google Pixel 8, several alternative phones may be more suitable for your needs. For instance, the Samsung Galaxy S24 has the same-sized display as the Pixel 8 but with better internals. Alternatively, you could consider the OnePlus 12R, which offers a bigger display and better internals at a lower price. And that's just scratching the surface.

OnePlus just fixed a big issue with the OnePlus Watch 2

Owners of the OnePlus Watch 2 are about to receive a new software update that will improve the smartwatch in one key way. The OHealth v4.21.5 update adds a data migration feature that allows switching phones without losing health data, which wasn't possible previously. Android Authority first spotted the update.

Google's Wear OS 4 launched with the new data migration feature. However, it wasn't available on the OnePlus Watch 2 until now. Once you install the update, you can see a new option called "Migrate data" in the profile settings. To use this new tool, your old and new phones must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You will also need to scan a QR code to initialize the migration process. If you are logged into the OHealth app, make sure that you sign in to the same account on both devices before migrating the data.

In the market for a new phone? You might be considering the latest offering from Samsung, which includes the Galaxy S24. It’s the entry level model for the S24 lineup, but still packs great performance and power with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and 8GB RAM, a beautiful LTPO AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and 2,600 nits peak brightness. And even though it’s a base model, you get a triple lens camera system.

But the Galaxy S24 isn’t the only option you have out there. Here are five great alternatives to consider if you’re thinking about the S24.
