OnePlus has made it easier to purchase a OnePlus device in the U.S. — thanks to a monthly pricing plan that reduces the burden of paying in full up front.

For any order over $99, you can pay using installments via PayPal in OnePlus’ U.S. webstore. The option is live now, the company announced in a blog post.

There’s no contract with the installment service, and you can also switch carriers while on the plan. The new option also lets you pay off the full price of the order at any time.

“As just one of the new ways we are looking to evolve our business, the increased flexibility this new service provides is integral to our future payment structure,” said Carl Pei, co-founder of OnePlus in the announcement.

There is a 19.99 percent APR that the announcement failed to mention, which will bring up your monthly payment up a few dollars. There are also three monthly payment structures: 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months. So choosing a OnePlus 2 with the 18-month plan will have you paying $22.60 per month, and a OnePlus X will start at $16.12 per month for the same payment structure. If you’re worried about jumping the gun, the company assures that “there’s no need to worry about any unwelcome surprises along the way.”

To take advantage of this feature, if you’re ready to buy a OnePlus device, just hit the PayPal credit option when completing your order, and it will display how much you’ll be paying month-to-month through a payment calculator. There’s no word yet on whether this option will make its way to other markets.

The OnePlus 12 is the OnePlus phone I’ve been waiting for

Since it arrived, the OnePlus 12 has been sitting on a shelf, unused, behind my desk. Apart from a few days when I tested out the camera, battery, and performance, I haven't had a chance to really dig into the phone.

Don’t mistake this for indifference, though. I’ve been itching to use it for more than just those early few days, but due to various reasons, it hasn’t been possible until now. Was it worth the wait?
Why did it have to wait?

OnePlus just fixed a big issue with the OnePlus Watch 2

Owners of the OnePlus Watch 2 are about to receive a new software update that will improve the smartwatch in one key way. The OHealth v4.21.5 update adds a data migration feature that allows switching phones without losing health data, which wasn't possible previously. Android Authority first spotted the update.

Google's Wear OS 4 launched with the new data migration feature. However, it wasn't available on the OnePlus Watch 2 until now. Once you install the update, you can see a new option called "Migrate data" in the profile settings. To use this new tool, your old and new phones must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You will also need to scan a QR code to initialize the migration process. If you are logged into the OHealth app, make sure that you sign in to the same account on both devices before migrating the data.

The OnePlus Watch 2 is the Wear OS smartwatch I’ve been waiting for

The OnePlus Watch 2 -- the company's first Wear OS watch -- has entered a market that Samsung dominates. However, OnePlus' popularity as a smartphone brand can be expected to bring small, yet meaningful changes that benefit not only OnePlus users, but all of the Wear OS segment in general.

For almost a decade, Samsung and Apple have predominantly been the default options if you want a smartwatch that is actually useful and goes beyond flashy features. With Samsung shifting gears and migrating from its own Tizen OS to the (relatively) more universal Wear OS platform and Google releasing its own Pixel Watch after struggling with an identity crisis in the smartwatch world, the platform has much more traction than it did a few years ago. As OnePlus carves its way into the segment, it has the opportunity to entice people who don't wish to live within Samsung's limitations when using a Galaxy Watch with another brand's phone.
