For now, you still need an invitation in order to get the OnePlus One. Luckily, those who don’t currently have invites will be happy to know that online retailer OppoMart is currently selling the handset. However, before you make the purchase, there are a few things you should be aware of.

The most glaring caveat is the price tag. OppoMart has the 16GB Silk White model available, which OnePlus will sell for $300 unlocked. However, the online retailer is selling it for $400, representing a $100 mark-up. In addition, the model sold through OppoMart comes with Color OS, Oppo’s Android skin. In comparison, the One sold through OnePlus comes equipped with CyanogenMod 11. According to the retailer, you’ll need to install CyanogenMod manually.

Wherever you get the One from, specs include a 5.5-inch 1080p display, Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor coupled with 3GB of RAM, a 3100 mAh battery, and a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera. Shipments to early invite holders were delayed due to software issues, though according to OnePlus, the issues have been resolved and early invitees should receive their handsets very soon.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs. Galaxy S24 Plus: one’s (probably) better than the other

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs. Galaxy S24 Plus.

Samsung's Galaxy S FE smartphone series holds a special place within the Galaxy S lineup, and the newly unveiled Galaxy S24 FE is no different. It was announced almost nine months after the mainline Galaxy S24 range and offers many of the same high-end features as the earlier models at a more affordable price. This "Fan Edition" model is most similar to the Galaxy S24 Plus, so it makes sense to compare the two models. Here's how the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE compares to the Galaxy S24 Plus, along with our take on which one you should buy.

OnePlus is one of the most incredible consumer tech companies in town. Known for smartphones, tablets, wearables, and audio devices, OnePlus products are often reliable, packed with features, and priced reasonably. And while the OnePlus 12 smartphone (which we gave a 9 out of 10 to in our hands-on review) is priced competitively to begin with, the company just marked its class-leading mobile gadget:
