The Rise of OnePlus: Everything About the Popular Smartphone Brand

Since its launch in 2014, OnePlus has released a series of remarkable smartphones, from the very first device to the latest models. In this blog, we dive into the brand’s history and highlight which OnePlus devices are most commonly repaired in 2025.

The Beginning of OnePlus

OnePlus was founded in December 2013 by Pete Lau and Carl Pei in Shenzhen, China. Both founders previously worked at OPPO, which allowed OnePlus to benefit from extensive knowledge and experience in the smartphone industry right from the start. Their goal was clear: to create premium smartphones at an affordable price. The motto “Never Settle” stands for high quality and smart technology.

OnePlus smartphones often feature advanced components, such as AMOLED displays and compact batteries. For repair technicians, this means that repairs require precision and specialized knowledge. With the right parts and tools, repairs can be carried out faster and more reliably.

From the OnePlus One to Modern Models

The first device, the OnePlus One, was launched in 2014 and immediately attracted attention thanks to:

• Premium hardware at an affordable price
• CyanogenMod (later replaced by OxygenOS) offering extensive software customization options

Since then, OnePlus has made significant advancements. Modern models, such as the OnePlus 13, feature:

• AMOLED screens with high refresh rates
• Advanced camera and battery technology
• Regular software updates via OxygenOS
