OnePlus completes seven years in the industry (Express Photo/Nandagopal Rajan)It might seem hard to believe – it seemed to have appeared only a few years ago – but OnePlus is completing seven years of global existence. It has been quite a journey for a brand which began with a single smartphone and a tagline of Never Settle. Today, it has not only a range of smartphones in its portfolio but also audio products and televisions. What’s more, after starting out with a single phone, OnePlus is the number one smartphone brand in the affordable premium segment in India as per the Counterpoint report for Q3 2020, and its OnePlus Nord was the leading smartphone in the upper mid-tier segment. There’s no telling what will come next because well, this IS the brand that believes in Never Settling.
It is also a brand that believes in celebrating special occasions with its community and users. And its seventh anniversary is definitely a time to celebrate. So, those in the market for a OnePlus product have some amazing offers from the brand.
