Why OnePlus Does Not Do Ads The OnePlus CEO added, “I have no ads, but I can make money by selling my devices a little more expensive.” He also shared the thought that although ads bring in more money for the OEM, but if the product is well made, then it will bring in money organically as well. However, there is also the fact that over time, OnePlus smartphones have grown in prices and with every iteration of the OnePlus series, the prices have only gone up. This has been especially true for the latest OnePlus 7 series, where the OEM also launched a more premium “Pro” version of the smartphone. On this note, Pete Lau said that the focus of OnePlus is not on making cheap smartphones, but the goal of the company is to make value for money phones. OnePlus TV to Launch in Other Countries Pete Lau also talked about how the company will launch OnePlus TV in other geographies as well. Currently, the latest product from OnePlus, which is the OnePlus TV has only launched in India. There were rumours that OnePlus might soon launch the TV in other countries as well and confirming some of this, the CEO said that it would be launching the TV sometime next year in China. Also, the rumours have indicated that OnePlus is currently in the process of partnering up with content providers in various countries like North America and Europe so that they can launch the TV in these regions with the proper content partnerships. OnePlus 8 Rumoured Features The next phone from OnePlus is set to be the OnePlus 8 which is likely to launch next year in the first half similar to the previous OnePlus summer launches. For the first time, OnePlus will be launching as many as three models of the same phone which would include OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and the OnePlus 8 Lite as well. This next phone from OnePlus, which is going to be the successor to OnePlus 7T will come with a punch-hole style display, and it will also consist of multiple camera sensors.
