OnePlus has officially confirmed that it is experimenting with a handheld gaming console, marking a potential expansion beyond its core smartphone business. The confirmation came from a company executive during a livestream, where an early concept sketch of the device was briefly shown. While still in its early stages, this is the first time OnePlus has publicly acknowledged the project.

The "Turbo" name has been used by different Android brands before. But just a few hours ago, OnePlus officially confirmed plans to launch its new Turbo series of gaming-oriented mobile devices. The announcement was made during the company’s 12th anniversary event, where senior leadership outlined OnePlus’s vision for the Turbo lineup and its role in the brand’s evolving product strategy.

A new OnePlus event will be coming soon with a newly appointed ambassador. To be held in Bangkok, Thailand, on 22 July 2023, there will be a OnePlus Magic Power event where fans can attend an exclusive meet and greet session with OnePlus APAC Smartphone Ambassador, Jackson Wang. 

At the Mobile World Congress 2023, OnePlus confirmed that a new foldable flagship device is in the plans this year. This was officially stated by Kinder Liu, who is the President and COO of OnePlus during a panel discussion.

Recently, we’ve been seeing a few patents relating to foldable smartphones from different smartphone brands like OPPO, Samsung, HUAWEI, and Xiaomi. Today, there’s a new patent from OnePlus which indicates a tri-folding smartphone which has three-display. 

Based on a statement by letsgodigital, it seems that OnePlus might be working on a smartphone that’s equipped with an in-bezel front-facing selfie camera. While not much is known in regards to which smartphone will actually come with the aforementioned feature, it does give us a better idea on what to expect when it is officially available in the local market.

From our previous OnePlus news, we wrote that the company have removed the Photochrom feature which allowed OnePlus 8 Pro users to "see-through" thin plastics and clothing. This time around, they came up with another update but it's for the new OnePlus Launcher. 

In two days time on 25 August 2016 (USA time-zone), OnePlus have tweeted that they have “something special” and we will get to know and “discover what's next” for the company. Is it a new smartphone?

Yes, you read that right. OnePlus is definitely scrapping the idea of manufacturing smartwatches, and will focus more on smartphones instead. This was from a recent interview with WSJ, remarked by OnePlus CEO Pete Lau.

With the recent Android 6.0 Marshmallow update on Samsung Galaxy rumour, ASUS and OnePlus have also announced their own Android 6.0 Marshmallow update in the coming weeks (or months). There are no specific Malaysia release dates yet, but rest assured the updates are official by the two companies. Check out the list of phones that are getting some tasty marshmallow updates in this article.
