Since its inception in 2014, OnePlus has been primarily selling flagship phones. In 2015, it tried in the mid-range market by launching the OnePlus X phone which encountered lackluster sales. There was no follow-up model for the OnePlus X and the series was discontinued in 2016. After mainly focusing on the flagship market for several years, OnePlus entered the mid-range market once again this year by launching the OnePlus Nord in July. Rumors are rife that the company will be launching some more Nord series phones this year. Yesterday, a tipster revealed that an upcoming OnePlus phone with Snapdragon 662 could be coming in September. Another leak has revealed that OnePlus could be launching a Snapdragon 460 powered handset in the near future.
