Gran interés en EE.UU. por el OnePlus 16: el hardware no era realmente el problema.

According to an article published on the Android Authority website, the author, expressing his disappointment at the void created after OnePlus withdrew from the US market, emphasizes that he encountered a lack of distribution and operator support rather than product quality. In the article, the intense interest in the upcoming OnePlus 16 model shows that the brand does not have a problem with its hardware.

With the upcoming OnePlus 16 going on sale in the international market, the reader poll conducted to determine how many people would buy it if the phone were widely available in the US yielded interesting results. 93% of respondents said they would buy the new OnePlus 16 if it were widely available in the US. The author explains why those who use the phones think this way.

Although OnePlus has had many problems in the US, it is emphasized that the phones and customer loyalty are not a problem. The OnePlus 15 is still a powerful device, being one of the first phones to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and being supported by 16GB of RAM. In particular, the 7,300mAh dual-cell silicon-carbon battery of the phone is noteworthy; the author states that he experienced up to three days of use on a single charge and that battery performance did not decrease even during a four-hour drive.

The design of the OnePlus 15 model is said to bear the signature of OnePlus, but it has a more minimalist aesthetic than the previous model. The technical specifications of the phone are said to be on par with any smartphone that can be purchased in the US.

However, T-Mobile and the MVNOs on its network will be your best (and only) chance. AT&T’s network doesn’t work with devices that aren’t on the white list, and Verizon has similar challenges, he notes. Nevertheless, if you’re determined to buy a OnePlus 16 in the US, you’ll at least have a chance with T-Mobile. The author notes that it’s unfortunate what has happened to OnePlus, emphasizing that the company offers a legitimate smartphone alternative and provides the same power and performance at a lower price than its competitors. While the company has a loyal following, it wasn’t enough to really make a breakthrough in the US market. The author expresses satisfaction at seeing so many fans who are still passionate about the brand, adding that the OnePlus 16 will offer them plenty to get excited about, but that solid hardware just isn’t enough for OnePlus.
