OnePlus is one of the most popular smartphone companies currently manufacturing high-end phones at a reasonable price tag. The Chinese smartphone company has completed more than five years in the phone industry. During this period, it has launched in total eight flagship-level smartphones and the most compatible and stable operating system called OxygenOS. The company's founder and CEO, Pete Lau, has now shared that his next venture will be smart televisions and that seems to come soon some time around next year. OnePlus Type C Bullets Headphones Launched in India; Confirms OnePlus 6T to Ditch 3.5mm Headphone Jack.
