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.

Apple is all set to launch its first 5G iPhones next year, and a new report out of Japan now claims that they will ship with Qualcomm’s X55 5G modem under-the-hood. According to multiple sources quoted by the Nikkei Asian Review , at least three of the devices the company will launch next year, will ship with 5G connectivity. “It will be the first time Apple introduces 5G iPhones … There will be three of them and the company has set an aggressive sales target” , said one of them. As per the report, the next-gen iPhone lineup will be powered by the A14 chip that will use the 5nm technology, making it significantly more power efficient than its predecessor, the A13 Bionic, found on the current-gen iPhone 11 lineup. At least two of the three new phones will also have what the report called ‘flexible’ OLED displays, although it’s not immediately clear what it meant by that term.
