The new Manufacturer OnePlus is aiming high for 2015: 2 new Devices are planned and a goal of 3-5 million sales.
Even though some of their methods were quite questionable, like the invite system for the inital smartphone release, the company OnePlus is really popular in Europe and northern america, an additional 39% of their sales were in east Asia and 7% in India.
But the Device franchise will not be the only thing that OnePlus will be focussing on. Within the next 5 years the company is aiming to be one of the most popular and well-known software developers world-wide, for that goal they got their eyes on Silicon Valley and plan to recruit some fine developers there. The company’s OxygenOS, which is based on the Cyanogen Mod, will just be the first step on that ladder according to the CEO, Pete Lau.
In addition to that Bloomberg reports that OnePlus has two new models in the making process. This time we will see two different price segments, one of the Devices will be a slightly cheaper one which means that the OnePlus Two (let’s assume it will be called that) might be more expensive than the first Device which sold for around $300 in the beginning, but went slightly more expensive in the last few months. Unfortunately we don’t know very much about the new Phones, only that one might be revealed in the third quarter of 2015 and the second one by the end of the year. Of course at this point there are a lot of rumors about both Devices, but given the long time until they will be released those rumors will change quite a bit.
Anyways we will keep our eyes open to grab any strings to pull in some intel about those new Phones, so stay tuned.
