About OnePlus
OnePlus is one of the biggest smartphone success stories of the last decade, having launched with a bang in 2013, creating major hype for its phones thanks to offering impressive specs at competitive prices, and only originally launching one or two handsets each year.
As the company’s popularity has grown so too has its selection of phones, and now along with its main numbered line (designed to compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S range) OnePlus also makes a variety of mid-range and budget phones in a newer Nord line.
But whichever model you pick you can be confident that you’ll be getting a fairly priced phone, with better specs than most companies would offer for the money.
Why choose Three for your OnePlus phone
Three has a whole lot going for it, starting with competitively priced plans. That makes it the ideal partner for a OnePlus phone, since OnePlus’s handsets tend to be competitively priced too, so you’re getting excellent value everywhere in the equation.
With Three you also get 5G as standard (which is also handy since most modern OnePlus phones support 5G), and there are plans with unlimited data. Other things that come as standard on Three include Wi-Fi Calling, 4G Calling, tethering, and access to the discounts-and-deals-packed Three+ app.
Plus, you can roam in 71 destinations throughout Europe and beyond at just a small extra cost.
Which OnePlus phones support 5G?
A wide range of OnePlus phones support 5G, including the OnePlus 10 Pro, OnePlus 9 Pro, OnePlus 9, OnePlus 8T, OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 8, OnePlus Nord 2 5G, OnePlus Nord, OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G, OnePlus Nord CE 5G, OnePlus Nord N10 5G, OnePlus Nord CE Lite 5G, and the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G.
Which OnePlus phone should I choose?
Which OnePlus phone you should buy depends on how much you want to spend and how high-end you need your handset to be. The OnePlus 10 Pro is the top of the range. This is a no-compromise handset with incredible cameras and screen, loads of power and a premium design.
But then for a lot less money you can also get the likes of the OnePlus Nord 2 5G, which still packs in tons of great specs, and might be preferable if you don’t need the best of the best.
