OnePlus saw huge success last year with the One smartphone, popularly known as the '2014 flagship killer', with the firm selling nearly 1 million handsets by the end of 2014 after starting shipping in June. The Chinese company had launched the One smartphone in limited countries and followed an invite-only sales strategy. Now, the company seems to be gearing up to expand in more countries and is definitely working on more devices, and one of the possible ways to do this is increasing R&D centres across worldwide.
Recently, OnePlus announced the Indonesia launch of the 'flagship killer' One smartphone, and revealed that the handset will be exclusively available via Lazada, an e-commerce website, in the country.
OnePlus late last month announced the name of its custom Android 5.0 Lollipop build, OxygenOS.
