The most sold OnePlus phone to date is the OnePlus 6.
Launched in 2018, the OnePlus 6 marked a significant shift for OnePlus, as it was the first device to receive massive attention globally due to its premium design, flagship performance, and affordable price. It was well-received for offering a top-tier Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB/8GB RAM, and a full-screen display, making it a major hit with consumers.
Here’s why the OnePlus 6 became the best-seller:
1. Affordable Flagship Experience:
- The OnePlus 6 offered flagship-like specs and performance at a much lower price compared to other premium brands like Samsung and Apple, making it a great option for those looking for a premium experience without the high price tag.
2. Design and Display:
- It was one of the first in the OnePlus series to feature a bezel-less display with a notch, which became a trend in 2018. The 6.28-inch AMOLED display with 1080p+ resolution was sharp and vibrant, drawing customers in.
3. Camera Improvements:
- The OnePlus 6 also improved its camera performance compared to earlier models, with a 16 MP + 20 MP dual-camera setup, producing good results in various lighting conditions.

5. Global Popularity:
- OnePlus 6 saw significant sales, especially in key markets like India and the US, where OnePlus gained a huge following.
Although the OnePlus 6 is still regarded as the best-seller, OnePlus Nord series also gained a lot of traction globally, especially the OnePlus Nord 2 and Nord CE series, due to their affordable pricing and solid performance.
