The tech hype is all around the brand that "never settles" in the initial quarter, with no signs of slowing down. Since 2014, OnePlus has established the benchmark for the smartphone ecosystem, giving Android giants like Samsung and Google a run for their money.

While the bar just keeps on going higher, and picking one out of the pond might seem hard, we have taken it upon ourselves to leave you with the top 7 picks and the most popular accessories, with all their flaws and fascinations in a OnePlus review.

Here are some of our favorite picks from the initial quarter of 2023, with plenty of trailblazing surprises to follow.

Top OnePlus Smartphones 2023: The 1+ Review

1. OnePlus 11 5G- 559.19 Pounds

On our list of OnePlus phone reviews, at numero uno, we have the perfect example of how OnePlus carves the ideal body with modern technology and design. This premium device has 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, and an impressive 6.7-inch display for great cinematic vibes. The 50 MP camera on the rare end allows stunning visuals, even at nighttime. It runs on the conventional OxygenOS, which offers a smooth and stable user experience.

With a power packed 5000 mAh battery, one can say goodbye to any kind of battery woes. In a nutshell, it is arguably one of the most advanced smartphones in the current ecosystem. The only chink in its armor that one can find is the average fingerprint sensor which fails to meet expectations, considering the price tag.

2. OnePlus 10 Pro 5G- 549.37 Pounds

Right behind the near-invincible OnePlus 11 5G, we have another titan, the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G, which is similar in specifications. The vivid 6.7 inches display ensures visual brilliance, while the 48 MP camera on the rear side makes up perfect portraits. This premium flagship is the ultimate pairing for people looking for explosives. However, one might argue about the price, considering it was launched with the idea of competing in an affordable smartphone market.

3. OnePlus 10T 5G- 500.43 Pounds

If it's not powerful, it isn't OnePlus. As we lower the order, another device comes into the rankings, offering multitasking abilities with smooth communication features. There are no changes in the display size, and it supports 129 Hz with a fluid AMOLED display. What makes it even more impressive is the 20.1:9 ratio for gaming and practical multimedia support. The enhanced contrast and dynamic range of the device, courtesy of HDR10+ technology that comes with this device, makes it the perfect fit for users looking to see the world from a finer lens or display. Apart from the picture-perfect build, and features, the only thing that might disappoint many tech fans is that it doesn't have infrared.

4. OnePlus 11R- 392.49 Pounds

The latest addition to the legacy of premium OnePlus smartphones and arguably the most powerful piece of machine ever made by OnePlus. Similar to 11 5G, the display size of 6.7 inches is nothing short of impressive, with a powerful rear camera and the vintage 5000 mAh battery support. All in all, the sensors can be improved to take things up a notch. With this bit of adjustment, this device can be your next mobile powerhouse.

5. OnePlus 10R 5G- 353.24 Pounds

If you want to take it a series down but want that explosive power to remain the same, we present you OnePlus 10R 5G. The device supports 5Ghz, an impressive Snapdragon 855 SoC, and a 50MP camera to ensure power is the least of a user's concerns. Night photography remains nothing out of the ordinary, being the only complaint one can come up with.

The battery support, again, is at 5000 mAh. Safe to say that this is a tank of a unit and can be your next digital muse.

6. OnePlus Nord 2T 5G- 284.54 Pounds

Sliding right into the league of the big boys, we have the Nord 2T 5G. A powerful yet sleek device that changed the game with its former variant, Nord. It is picture-perfect for multitasking, courtesy of 8GB RAM and 128GB ROM. The display couldn't improve, with the dark mode adding to the seamless user experience.

Before ending the proceedings, the Nord 2T has a lot of great filters that can enhance photo and video quality. The portrait mode is by far the best in the Nord series. The capturing lens has upgraded with AI features and dual video view, making it a delight for users that like to keep their love in a photograph or a video.

With an above-par battery support of 4500 mAh and a 6.4-inch vivid display, only an external storage card is what's missing from this masterpiece.

7. OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G- 186.42 Pounds

At the end of the line, we have a high-end device that offers excellent features at an affordable price. With a dark mode, OxygenOS, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695. It also has a 33W superfood charging, making it the best in the business in its league.

And that is a wrap on our own OnePlus phone review from the initial quarter of 2023.

Considering all the factors and understanding the value for money, OnePlus 11 5G remains the best in the business, given its storage options, performance, advanced camera system, and fast charging options, making it the complete modern generation smartphone.

OnePlus Review: Accessories Edition (2023)

Disclaimer: The order of the accessories is not to be considered, similar to buying other products when we have OnePlus. 

1. OnePlus Type-C to 3.5mm Adaptor- 3.83 Pounds

Unsurprisingly, the charging unit by OnePlus sits right at the top of the pile. With a sleek design, the adaptor matches up with the aesthetics of the devices to bring out the classy outdoor look.

The build is brilliant, and the looks live up to the conventional approach of OnePlus, with the cable being 100cm long for ease of use.

The cable screams high-quality material and, similar to the number 2 spot, holds the color scheme of OnePlus in high regard.

4. OnePlus Nord Buds True Wireless (in Ear)- 27.47 Pounds

They weigh a mere 47 grams and perfectly fit the human ear, making it the ultimate wireless audio experience. The ultra-fast charging option only adds to its brilliance. 

The only thing that disappoints fans across the globe is that it is only compatible with devices from the OnePlus series six and above. 

5. OnePlus Bullets Z2 (Wireless Earphones)- 19.62 Pounds

The Z2 took the market by storm and has become a household name. Everything about this wreaks nothing but class, be it sound quality or comfort. The drivers are up to the mark, and AI-powered noise cancellation ensures that no amount of disturbance gets in your way of solitude.

The microphone makes recording audio and phone calls more effortless than ever. The resistance to water and sweat only makes the deal sound so much sweeter. Users feel disappointed when they hear that it is only compatible with a 3.5mm jack but not a high price for the vintage feel.

7. OnePlus Smart Band- 16.67 Pounds

A great addition to pair up with a smartphone if you are looking for something sleek and not too flashy. It has 13 exercise modes, blood oxygen saturation tracking, sleep tracking, and heart rate features. Apart from a few considering the display to not be up to the mark, the band is all set to be your next smart purchase. 

8. OnePlus Triggers (Gaming)- 8.10 Pounds

Got a knack for mobile gaming? Don't stop; get started with the gaming triggers. They are attached to the side and act as physical buttons for the device, giving it a PSP-ish touch to see so that users don't have to rely on the screen entirely. The best thing is that the triggers are compatible with Android and iOS devices. 

9. OnePlus Nord Watch- 49.06 Pounds

Time is a digital asset now, so it is only fitting that the modern-day human has the right kind of accessories. The Nord watch comes with a 60Hz refresh rate and an AMOLED display to bring out the colors. The watch emphasizes health-related features, like sleep tracking, fitness tracking, and many others. The price might be slightly higher than other brands, but the features make it worth every penny spent.

And there you have it! These are some of the best OnePlus accessories and products that have been the star of the show, even in the early stages of 2023, with many more exciting releases to follow. 

Conclusion

OnePlus has been around for almost a decade and has only raised the modern tech bar every time they drop a product or flagship device. The consistency in design and user interface combined with a powerful and neat user experience means they remain a force to be reckoned with for years.
