OnePlus Says ‘Just Getting Started’ After Topping India’s Premium Market

If you haven’t already heard, OnePlus is taking the Indian smartphone market by storm. OnePlus has now pushed past both Samsung, as well as Apple, to take the top spot in the premium segment of India, according to Counterpoint Research.

OnePlus, which entered India merely 3 years ago to take on the flagships with its budget flagship killer, has managed to capture a 40% share in the premium segment. It’s closely followed by Samsung, with a 34% market share, while Apple has fallen down to 14% (its lowest market share to date) in Q2 2018.

To acknowledge its success in the country, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has published an official statement saying that they’re just getting started. He then goes on to reminisce about the company’s memorable experiences, such as 2 lakh sign-ups to buy the OnePlus 2, which was quite overwhelming for them at the time. He further added,

As humans, we are quick to judge, but you cannot do that with a country like India. India is today a community that is our eye to the globe, a soundboard for experimentation through which we understand the pulse of the customer at a global level.

As you may have already guessed, the company’s success in the previous quarter was led by the scintillating sales of the OnePlus 6. This has given the company reassurance of its plans for the country, which is now going to house the second OnePlus headquarter in the world.

Further, talking about the future, Lau continued to add that ‘we are at the beginning of a long journey towards realizing our vision to create a healthy company that endures. The reason that we’ve survived in this highly competitive atmosphere is inseparable from our focus on product – on building one flagship at a time.’

OnePlus 6 Cashback Offer

OnePlus has always been close to its user community, which is very well visible from the company’s Open Ears Forums and commitment to Android updates. Thus, OnePlus is now extending exclusive offers on its latest flagship, the OnePlus 6, to celebrate the milestone.

Twitter Wants to Build an ‘Open and Decentralized’ Social Media Platform

In an attempt to create a Facebook competitor, which everyone flocks to, Twitter became increasingly centralized over the years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky? And what does it intend to achieve? Dorsey, in his tweetstorm , states that the challenges being faced by centralized social

Mysterious Drones Spotted in Colorado and Nebraska; Sources Unknown

A group of drones was reportedly been spotted in the sky at night last week in Colorado and Nebraska that made the residents anxious and worried.

They appear at around 7 PM at night and disappear at around 10 PM . Until now, the drones have not been caught doing any illegal or unofficial activities.  “They do not seem to be malicious. They don’t seem to be doing anything that would indicate criminal activity,” Sheriff Elliott added. The Federal Aviation Agency, the Air Force, Drug Enforcement Administration, and US Army Forces Command confirmed that the drones did not belong to them.
