Submit Suggestion

OnePlus smartphones are made by OnePlus Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., whose EU Data Act notice gives a registered address in Shenzhen, China. The notice applies to connected products sold in Europe, but identifies a Chinese company as data holder and manufacturer. That registered base is the reason OnePlus is treated as non-European here.

Flagship and Nord phones

The official catalog separates OnePlus flagship phones from the Nord series. Flagship models focus on high performance, displays and camera systems, while Nord phones extend the range across more price points. Product specifications and availability vary by market and release.

More connected devices

OnePlus also sells tablets, smartwatches and audio products. Its EU notice names smartphones, tablets, smart watches and smart earphones as connected products. The phone range remains the brand's central offer, supported by accessories and software such as OxygenOS.

Relationship with OPPO

OnePlus announced closer integration with OPPO in 2021, including shared software planning and use of combined resources. The relationship connects it to a larger Chinese technology group, while its own legal notice names the Shenzhen company.

European smartphone alternatives

Fairphone is based in the Netherlands, SHIFT is a German company headquartered in Falkenberg, and HMD was founded in Helsinki, Finland. They offer European company alternatives for shoppers comparing smartphone brands. Their European base describes the companies, not necessarily the place where each device or component is manufactured.
