Grab a New OnePlus Phone for Up to a Massive $400 Off During the Spring Sale

OnePlus makes some of the best and most underrated Android devices on the market, and they can be had for major discounts until April 27.

When it comes to Android devices, Google and Samsung tend to grab our attention the most. While it’s true that these two tech behemoths are behind some great phones, OnePlus is yet another tech company worth considering. The devices are speedy, beautifully designed and many tech options are available at all prices, so folks with any budget can find what they need. Right now, OnePlus is also offering discounts of up to $400 off during their spring sale, which lasts until April 27. Best Buy is also matching most of these deals. So, now is a great time to upgrade, especially if you have any concerns about how tariffs might impact the cost of smartphones.

Right now, the OnePlus 13 is $50 off, which discounts the 16GB RAM phone with 512GB SSD to $950. It’s also an extra 5% off for students and is on sale with this same discount at Best Buy. Budget-conscious shoppers should also consider the OnePlus 13R, which is reduced by $100. It is a pared-down version of the OnePlus 13 and offers all the basics for just $500 at OnePlus and Best Buy. The 13R still includes a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a 6,000-mAh battery for all-day power and a 120Hz refresh rate to watch your favorite shows without lag.

The biggest savings are on the OnePlus Open, which is a massive $400 off at Best Buy and costs just $1,300. It’s out of stock at OnePlus, but you can sign up to receive a notification when it’s back in stock. The foldable phone has a Hasselblad camera for clear pictures and more creative options. Even the most budget-friendly smartphone in OnePlus’ lineup, the OnePlus Nord N30, is $100 off, which makes it just $200 at OnePlus and Best Buy. The entire spring sale is worth checking out.

OnePlus and Best Buy also have trade-in programs that can help you save a few more bucks, and students can save an extra 5%.

Why this deal matters

OnePlus makes high-quality phones at affordable prices, and these spring sale deals mean you can score a new phone for as low as $200 directly from them or Best Buy. Trade-ins and student discounts also mean you could potentially save more on your chosen phone. That makes now an excellent time for an upgrade.
