OnePlus CEO to share details of "new device" tomorrow
OnePlus is expected to launch its latest flagship smartphone, OnePlus 7, on May 14. And while we have seen a barrage of leaks already, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has tweeted that he could reveal more details about the "new device" tomorrow. There's a possibility that this "new device" isn't the OnePlus 7 but the company's first-ever Smart TV. Here's everything we know.
Here's the official tweet by OnePlus CEO Pete Lau
Let us decode Lau's tweet
In his tweet, Lau mentioned that he would give more details about a "new device" on Wednesday i.e. April 17. Given the recent reports, this mysterious "new device" could be one of the four known devices that OnePlus is working on - OnePlus 7, OnePlus 7 Pro, a OnePlus TV, and truly wireless OnePlus Bullets earbuds. But which one is it? We'll know tomorrow.
OnePlus 7: The upcoming OnePlus flagship
The possibility of OnePlus 7's launch tomorrow is almost nil. But if does get launched, the phone would feature an all-screen design, in-display fingerprint sensor, and an all-glass body. It would also offer a 48MP+20MP+5MP triple camera setup and a 16MP pop-up selfie camera. Lastly, it will run on a Snapdragon 855 chipset, paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
OnePlus 7 Pro: A more premium OnePlus 7
There are reports that OnePlus is working to launch a spruced up variant of OnePlus 7 - the OnePlus 7 Pro. Again, it won't be unveiled tomorrow. As per the available information, the Pro model would look like OnePlus 7 but with a bigger 6.67-inch Super Optic display and curved sides. In terms of camera, it will reportedly have a 48MP+16MP+8MP triple camera setup.
OnePlus TV: A smart display
In a recent interview, Lau said that OnePlus would soon launch a television, or as he calls it, a "smart display". According to him, it will be a screen that is always ready and can seamlessly communicate with the phone rather than being operated by a remote controller. The company also plans to use Artificial Intelligence to make the TV experience more intuitive.
Possibility #4: OnePlus truly wireless Bullets earbuds
In a blog post shared by Lau last month, he hinted that the company is readying the next-gen Bullets Wireless. The post suggested that OnePlus is working on new truly wireless Bluetooth earbuds to take on Apple's AirPods and Samsung's Galaxy Buds.
