OnePlus' chief executive officer, Pete Lau, has given an interview on the company's future in its home market. Its main message was that the company has no plans to diversify into non-premium smartphones at present. Furthermore, no domestic flagship brick-and-mortar stores are in the works either.

The fact that OnePlus thinks its devices are flagship or premium is kind of funny. But I am sure they will be dismissive of any criticism so :-X
