While OnePlus may not be a household name in the US, it remains a strong option if you want something a little less mainstream than a typical Apple, Samsung, or Google device. The OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R might be the latest models from the company, but that doesn’t necessarily make them the best. If you prefer classic OnePlus design elements or are simply looking to save money, there are still plenty of older OnePlus devices worth considering, even as we head into 2026.
Of course, not all older OnePlus phones are still worth your time. For example, you’re almost always better off with either a new mid-range Nord device over a used one. Some OnePlus phones are also too old to be suitable for serious use due to potential security issues. To make things easier, I’ve gathered up a list of some of the best OnePlus phones worth buying, even if they are no longer the latest and greatest.
