Ask any Android enthusiast what their favorite manufacturer is, and they'll inevitably say OnePlus. The Chinese company figured out the audience it wanted from the get-go, and its ability to deliver flagship hardware combined with best-in-class software meant it automatically attracted power users. While that direction has changed in recent years, OnePlus continues to deliver standout devices.
I distinctly remember being excited about getting my hands on the OnePlus One back in 2014; it wasn't as straightforward as it is today, as you needed an invite to pick up the phone. But I managed to secure one and bought the phone in the U.S. several months ahead of its release in India, and used it as my daily driver for well over a year.
