OnePlus has an interesting set of deals going on right now: Simply type in HELLOMAY upon checkout at OnePlus for select items to get big savings. It’s a great way to celebrate the month, but what items are they? Here, we’re going to go through all of the deals, show you what you can save, and show you our take on the goods. If you don’t want to think too hard, however, these are all good items — favorites from OnePlus enthusiasts — with savings that range from $40 to $140, and many of the offers include a free gift. So, if you want to shop, you really don’t have to think that hard about anything other than entering the code HELLOMAY when you check out.
Here, you can get the OnePlus 12 in its superior 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage version. If you toss in your old phone you can save $100 more, too, via a trade-in offer. Our OnePlus 12 review dubbed it the “phone to beat” around this time last year for its powerful performance, strong battery life, and excellent Hasselblad camera system.

The Nord N30 5G is Nord’s take on a budget phone, but as you can see from our OnePlus N30 5G review, it doesn’t really have “budget phone quality” and instead can power through games and display in a buttery 120Hz. This deal comes with either a free case ($16 value) or wired earphones ($14) that can plug in via a jack, which the phone has, or USB-C (which it also has).

Our OnePlus Watch 2 review calls it a smartwatch with an “excellent battery life and a lovely design.” The gorgeous design is noticeable from the picture, but the battery life — which can be extended to around 12 days — is a more interesting story. You can turn it “down” to a power savings mode, which gives the basics but turns off things like the always-on display, apps, and Google Assistant.

The OnePlus Watch 2R is listed as one of the best smartwatches around, specifically as an excellent budget smartwatch for Android users. And, of course, now marked down to just $200, the budget factor is emphasized even more. Our OnePlus Watch 2R review touts its durable design, great battery life, and easily replaceable watch bands.

When we put out our OnePlus Pad 2 review late last year, we immediately considered it the best Android tablet of the year. Nice features include reliable splitscreen, a gorgeous 144Hz screen, and a rare six-speaker setup. Right now you can get a free gift with your purchase, too — a OnePlus Stylo 2 stylus ($100 value) or a folio case for the tablet ($40 value).

In many ways, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are OnePlus’s answer to the AirPods, but for Android. You see the stem shape and you know what’s up. These buds have noise cancellation, a 43 hour battery life if you include what the case stores, spatial audio, and ANC, among other common buds features. One fun quirk to these, however, is built-in real time AI language translation when you use them paired with newer OnePlus phones.

The AI Glasses Style is completely screenless and weighs just 38.5 grams, making it light enough to wear all day without discomfort. Instead of visual overlays, it relies on voice, audio, and a built-in 12MP Sony camera capable of shooting 4K video in clips up to 10 minutes.
Forget the watch, Apple’s AI Pin might be its next wearable move
According to the details shared so far, the wearable is still in the very early stages of development. In fact, Apple could launch it or even cancel it, depending on how engineering and market conditions evolve. That said, people familiar with the project say the company is targeting a 2027 release window, a move that would position Apple directly against other AI wearable efforts from competitors like OpenAI and others experimenting with similar form factors.
