OnePlus hopes to distribute its phones through carriers in the U.S., reportsĀ PCMag.
OnePlus CEO and founder Pete Lau told PCMag that the company is holding discussions with U.S. carriers, though it didn’t specify which ones. Moreover, the company plans to release a 5G phone next year, which will coincide with the expected launch of 5G service in the U.S.
Right now, OnePlus sells its phones unlocked on the open market. Its most recent device, the OnePlus 6, includes support for AT&T and T-Mobile.
OnePlus said its good working relationship with Qualcomm has helped pave its path towards 5G.
