Oneplus (Chinese: 一加) is a Chinese electronics manufacturer, spun off from Oppo in 2013 as a separate brand. OnePlus sells smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, earbuds, and other accessories around the world, whereas Oppo's presence outside of China is somewhat more limited. The company has generally been well regarded in terms of consumer protection and is fairly supportive of allowing bootloader unlocking and therefore, third-party modifications for their hardware.

Bootloader unlocking restrictions (2025)
- Main article: link to the main article
Starting from ColorOS 16, OnePlus intends to make the process of unlocking bootloader more complicated by requiring developers and users to sign up for the "深度测试计划" (In-Depth Testing Program).[1] While as of now, it is only going to impact users in China[2], there is a chance that this change may come to the global version of OnePlus phones on OxygenOS.[3]
AI tools integration (2025)

adding Anti-Rollback mechanisms to devices (2026-01-18)
- Main article: Oneplus phone update introduces hardware anti-rollback
On 18 January 2026, AdaUnlocked, a user on the XDA Forums, reported that the ColorOS 16.0.3.501 update introduces a hardware-level Anti-Rollback (ARB) mechanism for OnePlus 13/13T and 15 smartphones. Updating to the version causes the anti-rollback fuse to be blown which leads to permanent bricking of the device if any older ROM (custom or not) is flashed to it. [4]
