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 OnePlus Buds Clip are a new pair of open-ear earbuds built around a simple convenience. They join Sony’s LinkBuds Clip in the growing ear-cuff category, but either OnePlus bud can go on either ear.
Sensors recognize how the earbuds are being worn and route the audio channels accordingly. There’s no label to check before putting them on, and the feature also works when only one bud is used.
We buy fitness bands and activity trackers to keep tabs on our exercise, but it is easy to forget to start tracking or switch modes when moving between different activities. For Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, that could soon become a lot less annoying, as Google is rolling out a major upgrade to automatic activity tracking that can recognize more than 100 types of exercise, up from just 10 before.
Google first showed off the improved tracking earlier this month alongside the Fitbit Edge. It is now coming to Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5, and Google claims the added context behind the system makes workout detection nearly twice as accurate while cutting missed activities by more than half. Fitbit Edge will support it too.
