INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
It looks like you won't be able to buy a follow-up device to 2015's OnePlus X, or at least not until 2021.OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has told
Gadgets 360 the company intends to only offer one flagship device at a time for the next three years, following the release of the OnePlus
6.That means the company has no intention of revealing a second mid-range phone alongside future flagship handsets
That has been the situation since June 2016 when Lau confirmed to TheIndianSubcontinent the company didn't plan to make a OnePlus X2, but
now he has confirmed it's still the case.Currently OnePlus ensures stock is depleted for models at the end of the six month life cycle
That would then very much be a strange situation if you were to introduce a new device, which would be close to the price of the former
slim profit margins and has a lot of factors to consider when pricing up its new phones, so it makes sense the company wants to keep
focusing on the flagship level for the next few years.Lau also explained how he believes the notch on the front of phones such as the
OnePlus 6 will gradually start to slim down over phone generations with the aim of a full-screen experience in the future.To achieve that,
Lau thinks we'll see the introduction of in-display cameras to allow for selfies without a notch at the top of your screen.Yesterday we
heard about an always-on display mode for the OnePlus 6 that was removed at the last moment before release to ensure the phone had suitable
battery life.Via Phone Arena
