These are the best OnePlus phones you can buy in 2020

It started as a small enthusiast brand back in 2014, but OnePlus has quickly exploded into a mainstream hit that's responsible for making some of the best Android smartphones every year. If you know you want to buy a OnePlus phone but aren't sure which model to get, we've got a quick list to help you decide which one is right for you!

Best of the best

OnePlus 8 Pro

Staff Pick

With the OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus finally released a phone without holding back a single feature. All of the OnePlus essentials are here, such as a gorgeous 120Hz display, Snapdragon 865 processor, a huge 4,510 mAh battery, and up to 12GB of RAM. The 8 Pro has the best camera setup we've ever seen on a OnePlus device, in addition to 30W wireless charging and an official IP68 dust/water resistance rating.

Familiar formula

OnePlus 8T

If you like what the OnePlus 8 Pro has to offer but just can't justify its steep price, it's worth checking out the OnePlus 8T instead. The display is lowered to a 90Hz refresh rate, but it still looks outstanding. You also miss out on wireless charging and that IP rating, but everything else is mostly the same. There's still a Snapdragon 865, 12GB of RAM, and a very respectable 4,500 mAh battery.

Superb value

OnePlus 7T

It's no longer the latest OnePlus phone on the market, but the OnePlus 7T still has a lot to offer. It has a 90Hz AMOLED display, three rear cameras that allow for a lot of photography opportunities, a fast in-screen fingerprint sensor, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855+ CPU paired with 8GB of RAM. For the price, it's a pretty fantastic value.

For international markets

OnePlus Nord

The OnePlus Nord isn't officially sold in the United States, but if you happen to live in a market where the phone is available, it stands out as one of the best values of 2020. For just £379 in the UK, the OnePlus Nord delivers a 6.44-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 765G processor with 5G connectivity, and four rear cameras.

Get the OnePlus that fits you best

If you were to ask us what the best overall OnePlus phone is, it shouldn't be any secret that it's the OnePlus 8 Pro. This is the first flagship from OnePlus where the company didn't hold back any punches, and the end result is seriously impressive.

Right off the bat, the phone impresses with its 120Hz AMOLED display. It's buttery smooth, super colorful, and has virtually no bezels save for the small hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera. Around back, you'll find the most impressive camera array in a OnePlus phone to-date. Pair all of that with outstanding performance, wireless charging, and an IP68 rating, and this is a flagship smartphone through and through. The price tag is quite high, but compared to something like a Galaxy S20, there's still an argument to be made for its value proposition.

For folks that can't stomach the price of the OnePlus 8 Pro, the OnePlus 8T delivers 80% of the same experience for considerably less money. The biggest disadvantages are the lack of wireless charging and that IP rating, but the rest of the experience is still excellent. The 90Hz display looks great, performance is every bit as fast, battery life is solid, and it has an even more striking design.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
