OnePlus Confirms 12 Series Launch Date in Ten-Year Anniversary Celebration Video

Leading global technology brand OnePlus today unveiled an exclusive video celebrating its ten-year anniversary with founding members and friends. The video reflects on a decade of OnePlus milestones and discusses the company’s future, including the upcoming OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R flagship devices, which will be launched globally on January 23, 2024. During the video, OnePlus also confirmed that the OnePlus R series will go on sale outside of India and China for the first time in the series’ history. 

In the short space of just ten years, OnePlus has grown from a bold but simple idea into a renowned technology brand with products and users in all four corners of the globe. To date, OnePlus has entered over 50 markets worldwide and has built up a registered community member base of more than 50.2 million users. As of the end of October 2023, global sales of OnePlus devices have grown 59% compared to the same period last year, and by as much as 40% in India, reflecting the continued international expansion and recognition of the brand. 

To express its gratitude to its users for a decade of support, collaboration, and loyalty, OnePlus has launched a special 10th anniversary celebration to give back to its fans.

Celebrating 10 Years of Innovation and Never Settle

In the video, OnePlus founding members, including Pete Lau and Kinder Liu, gather with friends who share the Never Settle spirit to discuss their original motivation and vision for establishing OnePlus as a brand that creates premium, user-centric technology to challenge market conventions and the industry status quo.

“Back in 2013, we were a small team, but we had really big ideas about building better products,” said Pete Lau, Founder of OnePlus. “Even though so much has changed since our humble beginnings, just as much has stayed the same. Regardless of how the world has changed around us, our essence as OnePlus remains the same. As long as we hold on to our 'Never Settle' ethos, OnePlus will always stay true to its roots.”

They also discussed the future of the company and underscored the significance of co-creation to the brand and OnePlus’ mission to share cutting-edge technology with the world.

“As an R&D and product person, being able to take part in the research and implementation of truly cutting-edge technologies has been the most fulfilling aspect of this journey for me,” said Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus, “Throughout these ten years, every OnePlus product, and even the company itself, has been built hand in hand with our users. Co-creation is an inseparable part of our DNA, and I hope that OnePlus will continue to push the boundaries of technology with tech enthusiasts everywhere for the next ten years and more to come.” 

A Masterpiece Ten Years in the Making: Introducing the OnePlus 12 Series

OnePlus also used the occasion to reveal new information about its upcoming OnePlus 12 Series. 

A decade in the making, the OnePlus 12 Series has been developed to address an industry-wide challenge in balancing high performance, high power consumption, effective heat dissipation, and longevity. The two devices, the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R, are designed to prove that a smartphone doesn't need to be "Plus" "Pro" or "Ultra” to provide the best hardware specs and software experience. Instead, the dual flagship OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 12R each have their own unique attributes that give users the choice to pick what's important for them on their next smartphone.

The OnePlus 12 is an all-round flagship phone that embodies OnePlus’ decade-long leadership in technology. It features the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, 4th Gen Hasselblad Camera for Mobile with a new 64MP 3x periscope lens, and a boundless Flowy Emerald colorway – all in true homage to OnePlus’ Never Settle spirit. 

In addition to the OnePlus 12, the performance flagship phone, the OnePlus 12R, will be the first member of the OnePlus R series to launch outside of India and China. Both flagship phones are set to be released at the OnePlus Smooth Beyond Belief Launch Event at 19:30 IST, on January 23, 2024.

As OnePlus begins a new decade, the company is set to continue challenging the status quo through its commitment to creating only the best smart devices. Together with its partners and global user base, OnePlus will further push the frontiers of technology to continue delivering fast and smoother experiences to users worldwide.

Function Meets Design: 3 Ways the New Samsung Side by Side Refrigerator is a Great Fit for the Modern Kitchen of Your Dreams

Food has long been an extension of love and is a way for families to strengthen their bond. It’s through meal times that they get to share stories, make plans, and build memories. Food’s role in the home is so strong that it’s no surprise that many have dream kitchens.

Ideally, kitchens should be bright to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. It’s not just for aesthetics: a well-lit kitchen promotes safety and cleanliness.

It goes without saying, beyond the atmosphere, it  is also so important to consider how space will be used. The ideal kitchen layout should be easy to move around in so it eliminates problems when cooking and cleaning. A simple design to follow is the kitchen triangle. This means putting the refrigerator, stove, and sink in a triangular shape to make tasks more efficient.

The refrigerator plays a key role in the kitchen but often is bulky and takes up too much space. Many also have straightforward designs that may not go well with the kitchen’s design. The Samsung RS3000BM Side By Side Refrigerator with All Around Cooling is an appliance that combines both function and design, making it a great fit for the modern kitchen of your dreams.

Stylish design, new sleek exterior

The Samsung RS3000BM  Side by Side Refrigerator has a strikingly beautiful and sophisticated look that enhances the kitchen interior. Its minimalist stainless steel finish is versatile and complements modern households and designs. The recessed handle is clean and contemporary. Inside, the refrigerator and freezer are bigger to store more food and groceries.

Keep it cool all around

Samsung uses a proprietary technology to cool the fridge evenly from corner to corner. The All-Around Cooling system blows cold air through multiple vents on every shelf level, so the entire refrigerator has an equal temperature. This guarantees that food stays fresh for longer.

Energy saving

Samsung’s cutting-edge technologies won’t break the bank as the RS3000BM  Side by Side Refrigerator is equipped with energy saving features. The Digital Inverter Compressor uses nine sensors that track internal and external temperature and humidity levels, as well as usage patterns. This keeps electricity bills lower while preserving food longer. The refrigerator’s reasonable price, along with its ten year warranty and 4-star Energy Rating, promise more savings. 

Upgrade the kitchen with the functional and design features of the Samsung RS3000BM Side by Side Refrigerator. For more information, please visit samsung.com/ph.

How Samsung Became the Undisputed Global Leader in TV Technology

For 17 straight years, Samsung TV has been the go-to brand for entertainment lovers globally. With its established legacy of innovation, Samsung has been the undisputed leader by ensuring its customers get the best in TV technology. And the best part? Samsung is only getting started on its TV technology innovation journey.

“We are proud of the work we have accomplished these past 17 years. Our success is rooted in our commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation and listening and understanding our customers wants and needs. We have transformed the way people consume content with our innovations and bold thinking, and we strive to continue to give our customers the best for years to come,” says Chris Almazan, Head of Audio Visual – Samsung Philippines.

Changing the TV tech landscape, one innovation at a time

Samsung’s dominance in the TV market began in 2006 with the release of the Bordeaux TV, which signaled the mainstream adoption of LCD TVs with sophisticated designs and lightweight form factor. The Bordeaux TV came at a time wherein most TVs were thick, heavy, and vacuum-tube-based and what the model offered was the opposite of that: sleek, and with a frame that resembled a wine-glass. The Bordeaux TV was a hit, and sold more than one million units within the first six months of its release. 

In 2009, Samsung continued its winning ways with the launch of the world’s first edge-lit LED TV. For two years, a team of 50 engineers developed more than 3,000 patents to build the LED TV which brought ultra-high contrast ratios and vivid colors right into your living room. At that point, it was also the world’s slimmest TV being one-third thinner than most units available in the market at that time. 

Samsung introduced the Smart TV two years later, in 2011, which brings with it the “Smart Lifestyle”—allowing viewers to enjoy an expansive range of content similar to a personal computer. 

And since then, Samsung has continuously broken boundaries and redefined the world’s viewing habits with never-before-seen releases: the world’s first curved UHD TV, The Frame, the QLED TV, 8K TV, and more.

Samsung’s 2023 Neo QLED QN800C

Undisputed Global #1

For its commitment to providing a seamlessly connected, customizable experience for its customers, Samsung has definitely earned its way to be at the top of the global TV industry. 

According to global market research firm Omdia, Samsung remains to be the world’s top TV manufacturer in the first quarter of 2023 with a 32.1% market share in terms of value and 46.25 million units sold globally. Additionally, in 2022 alone, the brand sold 9.65 million QLED and Neo QLED TVs around the world.

Samsung has also been bestowed a range of awards for its products. Recently, the brand was recognized in 46 categories in the CES 2023 Innovation Awards from the Consumer Technology Association. The annual award recognizes outstanding design and engineering across a multitude of consumer technology product categories.

With over half a century in the game, Samsung has delivered breakthrough after breakthrough in TV technology, truly paving the way for innovation and setting the standard higher with each release. As a pioneer and industry leader, the brand looks to always provide top-of-the-line products for all—and the best is still yet to come.
