OnePlus has always been one of the forerunners when it comes to Android implementation. Not long after Android 11 beta was released, OnePlus got in quickly and started testing it. While Android 11 isn't going to be officially released till 8 September 2020, OnePlus is already looking to unveil its latest Hydrogen OS 11.

It seems that XDA-Developers recently discovered that there’s a mid-range OnePlus smartphone currently in the works and it’s expected to come equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 5G chipset. While not much is known in regards to the new mid-range smartphone, our source did mention that the device will most likely perform up to 60% faster compared to Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 chipset.

Now that Android 11 beta 2 is out for testing, some manufacturers have started to test the preview versions on their devices. Previously, OnePlus confirmed you will be able to try it out on the OnePlus 8 series. This will continue now that Android 11 beta 2 is out.

OnePlus is gearing up for a launch in July and it's not just for the OnePlus Nord smartphone. Back in May, it was already hinted that the company could be launching a new True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds. Now, the same source has claimed that the OnePlus TWS earbuds will come in black as well.

If there's one market that's getting a lot of new additions this year, it would be smart TVs. Brands that normally manufacture other products are moving into this space, with OnePlus set to launch three new smart TV models on 2 July 2020 in India.

From our previous OnePlus news, we wrote that the company have removed the Photochrom feature which allowed OnePlus 8 Pro users to "see-through" thin plastics and clothing. This time around, they came up with another update but it's for the new OnePlus Launcher. 

Other than just releasing smartphones with different colours, some smartphone brands have also collaborated with other industries for special editions of their devices. With that being said, OnePlus has been working with British sports car manufacturer McLaren for years to release devices that come with McLaren-inspired design. However, it is reported that the partnership between OnePlus and McLaren has come to an end, so don't expect any OnePlus 8 McLaren Editions to be released.

Previously, vivo, OPPO and Xiaomi have teamed up to launch a file transfer system that can be deemed as the Android version of Apple's AirDrop. However, the file transfer system could only work between devices from these three brands, and it's not enough. Now, it has been announced that four more brands including OnePlus, Realme, Xiaomi's Black Shark and Meizu are joining the alliance as well, which could eventually lead to more brands joining to take a chance against the AirDrop.

Here we go again! Just when you think that we've seen enough true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds, another company decides it has to make one. Sources claim that OnePlus has more than just the OnePlus Z smartphone, but also has new TWS earbuds up its sleeve.

A render of a new OnePlus 8 Lite device first surfaced back in December 2019, but since then, we haven't gotten much news about the phone. Some rumours of it have finally appeared, however, though it's not about the specs and design. This new rumour suggests that the OnePlus 8 Lite could be part of a new series and will have a different name than the one currently attached to it.
