OnePlus has recently been building hype about a new product that it’s going to unveil in the very near future. While we wait on the OnePlus Two smartphone to arrive it appears that the company has a totally different product for us next month. Whispers about a drone have already been circulating online and now there’s word from the company that the OnePlus DR-1 drone will land on its online store in April.
The bit about the drone was actually confirmed by OnePlus CEO Carl Pei during a recent AMA session on reddit. He posted a screenshot which more or less confirmed that OnePlus is actually working on a drone.
OnePlus, which most of know is great at building hype for its products, says that the drone is going to be a game changer. It remains to be seen though how the DR-1 disrupts the drone arena which is already a battleground for many contenders including but not limited to DJI and Parrot.
In a tweet sent out today the company confirmed that the DR-1 is “flying” into its store next month. So far it hasn’t revealed technical details about this drone and hasn’t even shared the design.
We’ll anxiously be waiting to see, like many others, just how good or bad the OnePlus drone turns out to be.
