OnePlus plans 5G lab in India; starts doorstep repair service

New Delhi: Chinese premium smartphone maker OnePlus will establish a fifth-generation (5G) technology lab in India after doubling its R&D employee base here to 600 this year.

The company that on Thursday launched a doorstep repair service also plans to expand its customer service network to the top 100 cities in India by year-end.

“The current facility is small with 300 engineers but we are in an expansion phase. Once we double up the facility in size and employee and have resources in place, we will be getting very big on that front [5G],” OnePlus India general manager Vikas Agarwal told ET.
