It has been a long time coming. OnePlus has officially announced that it is launching a new series of smartphones that will be more affordable.
A post published today by Pete Lau on the official OnePlus Forums says they are bringing the premium and flagship experience to a “new, more affordable smartphone product line”.
OnePlus says the decision to make a new series is due to the several requests from “people who want a really solid smartphone that meets their everyday needs and for a far more accessible price”.
The post revealed the new product line will be introduced first in Europe and India. There are also plans to bring more affordable smartphones to North America in the near future.

The new product team has a new lead and that is Paul Yu (pictured above with Carl and Pete). This is most likely the face we will be seeing when it comes to announcements regarding the new line. Paul Yu has been working for OnePlus for more than 5 years. Before joining the team, he was a project manager at Coolpad.

Every story has a beginning. And this one starts somewhere on Instagram 😉
