OnePlus are planning to release a “new device” by the end of this year.
The new device will not be as powerful as OnePlus’s previous releases, which could mean that this device is the much rumoured OnePlus mini. Vikas Agarwal, General manager of OnePlus India, said that the new device will be more of a lifestyle and fashion phone and will differ from the flagship phones. Which fuels further speculations that it will be a OnePlus mini.
“It would be a global launch, but India will be the biggest focus,” Agarwal said, adding that the Indian market will become the largest for the company , as its growing faster than any other market. Its other top markets are the US and Europe. Agarwal also hopes to have the new phone out in time for Diwali.
OnePlus have also confirmed that they will start their own online store to support the huge demand expected for their new and cheaper device. This could mean the end of the invite to buy system currently in place.
