The OnePlus Two isn’t slated to launch until later this year, but that doesn’t mean OnePlus won’t give people the ability to win its upcoming flagship for free through two contests: Your OnePlus Story and Photo Mania 2015.

Your OnePlus StoryYour OnePlus Story has contest entrants creating an original video that explains their OnePlus story. In other words, they can say anything about OnePlus, which includes what they like about the OnePlus One and what they look forward to experiencing on the OnePlus Two. The contest will judge entries based on production, quality, and originality, so it won’t be enough to just sit in front of a camera and talk.

Your entry must be in landscape orientation and have a minimum quality of 1080p. OnePlus will choose one winner, while the community will pick another. Eight runners-up will receive OnePlus gift bags and have their entries included in an upcoming OnePlus Two project.

Meanwhile, Photo Mania 2015 has entrants submitting unedited pictures taken with the OnePlus One through Instagram. Photo Mania 2015You’ll need to tag your picture with @oneplustech and explain how you got the shot you ended up with. Unlike the Your OnePlus Story contest, 10 finalists will be picked based on the number of likes their pictures receive, with the community picking the overall winner.

Regardless of the contest, winners will be awarded a trip to Hong Kong, all expenses paid, on or before June 28 and will receive a OnePlus Two. In addition, they will play “a pivotal role in a secret project” OnePlus has planned for the OnePlus Two’s launch. The company didn’t reveal what that project is, though we should expect more information on the project the closer we get to the smartphone’s launch in the third quarter of 2015.

If you want a shot at a free OnePlus Two, you have until June 15 to submit your entries to both contests.

Every Android tablet we’re expecting in 2024

It’s an exciting time for Android tablets. Into the vacuum left in 2023 by Apple’s first-ever dearth of new iPads stepped two new contenders offering distinct takes on what a tablet should be, while Samsung’s venerable Tab S9 lineup raised the bar by cementing the position of its largest tablet and bringing AMOLED screens to the entire family.

There’s no reason to believe that this year will be any less interesting as Samsung continues to up its game while Google and OnePlus try to refine their initial first-generation efforts into more mature products.

I did a OnePlus 12 vs. OnePlus 12R camera test, and there’s a big difference

OnePlus has had a very solid start to 2024 with the release of the OnePlus 12 and the OnePlus 12R. While both phones look very similar, one is a flagship, while the other is a more budget-friendly option with slightly lesser specs.

Though both devices' cameras appear similar at first glance, they’re actually quite different. In addition to different specs, only the OnePlus 12 has Hasselblad branding, meaning that it has better color calibration, white balance and exposure, and more. In short, photos you take with the OnePlus 12’s Hasselblad camera are probably going to look better.

OnePlus' merger back into its parent company, Oppo, has been both good and bad for the "Never Settle" brand. While OnePlus has seen a dismaying downfall in the quality of its previously distinctive interface, it has helped make up for that in camera performance -- thanks in large part to Oppo's partnership with imaging stalwart Hasselblad. That collaboration is rumored to bear fruit once again, this time in the form of a flip phone with a robust camera.
