OnePlus is gearing up for the release of the OnePlus Two, but there’s still one more device on the horizon this year for the company. There have been plenty of rumors about a second device, so this isn’t a huge surprise, but we’re finally getting some details directly from OnePlus about it.
OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei didn’t divulge anything specific about what’s up their sleeve, but he did say that the next handset they release will probably be out in time for Christmas this year. We’re already in August, so that’s just a few months off. I think a higher-end version of the OnePlus Two is pretty unlikely (unless they fill in some of the blanks on its feature list) but a mini model could happen.
Pei also talked about the future of the company and about how the landscape of mobile phones will evolve over the next few years. He believes that within five years, there will only be room for three smartphone manufacturers, and he thinks that’ll be Apple, Samsung, and OnePlus. Other companies will die off or leave the market due to being unable to keep high enough margins to make any profit. He then followed that statement up by clarifying that OnePlus barely broke even with the OnePlus One. But for some reason, that won’t affect OnePlus’s ability to continue making smartphones.
I’ll let you think about that for a bit.
