Published Date: 24 Oct 2022Posted byZedd

OnePlus, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer based in Shenzhen, China has taken its ‘Never Settle' motto and has stepped up the game to a whole new level with their new release OnePlus 6. Unlike their prior releases like the OnePlus 4 and Oneplus 5, this new release promises a premium performance experience that the previous versions lacked. Anyone who has used an Oneplus phone will tell you that Oxygen OS is one of the most cleanest and fluid version of Android.

Unfortunately, despite the hype for it in Australia, the OnePlus 6 has not made an official debut in the country hence it cannot be purchased from local Australian retailers and if you still wish to buy Oneplus 6t, you'd have to order through OnePlus directly as in yet.
