Chinese conglomerate BBK owns several smartphone makers in the country, including Iqoo, OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo, and Realme. Android fans in western markets are more than familiar with some of them, with OnePlus easily standing out when it comes to brand recognition.
Chinese conglomerate BBK owns several smartphone makers in the country, including Iqoo, OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo, and Realme. Android fans in western markets are more than familiar with some of them, with OnePlus easily standing out when it comes to brand recognition. OnePlus came out swinging a few years ago with its “Never Settle” mantra, launching flagship “killers” that featured impressive specs and excellent prices, albeit plenty of compromises were made to keep costs low. The company has significantly improved its devices over the years, matching the newest Android flagships and offering the same overall experience as its main competitors — that includes features like 5G connectivity, a high-end display, wireless charging, and water and dust resistance. But the prices have gone up as well, with OnePlus launching last year a new set of “killers,” budget Android devices.
