There is a new player in town called Oneplus, well it’s not that much new since it was founded in 2017 but very few people know about it. Let’s take a look.
What is OnePlus?
One Plus Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., commonly referred to as OnePlus, is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer based in Shenzhen, Guangdong. It was founded by Pete Lau (CEO) and Carl Pei (Director) in December 2013. The company officially serves 34 countries and regions around the world as of July 2018. They have released numerous phones, amongst other products. It is currently majority-owned by Oppo as its only shareholder, which is a subsidiary of BBK Electronics along with Vivo and Realme. However, both OnePlus and Oppo deny that OnePlus is a subsidiary and maintains they are independent companies, although OnePlus confirmed it uses Oppo’s manufacturing line and shares part of the supply chain resources with Oppo. In this article,I am going to cover oneplus 8, 8 pro,7 pro, 7T, 7T pro and 7T McLaren edition

The OnePlus 8 is the hero of the pair, coming with four cameras. There’s a standard zoom, a super-wide angle, an 8-megapixel telephoto camera and a 5-megapixel “color filter” camera, which seems to allow you to take images with infrared-style effects. It’s one camera more than last year’s range, which lacked the color filter but was otherwise functionally similar. The front-facing camera is found in a cut-out in the display, rather than in a slide-out unit housed in the top edge. (Some may see this as a step backward.) Its 16-megapixel resolution remains unchanged
