OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei has explained why the upcoming Nord smartphone won’t be coming to the US. But does the reasoning hold water?
The OnePlus Nord is scheduled to launch later this month, but it won’t be coming to the US. The manufacturer previously confirmed that it’s only offering proper launches in Europe and India. Now, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei has explained the firm’s reasoning in an interview with Android Authority.
“So if you look at our markets right now, like in India, we’re already doing really well and in Europe we’re growing really quickly with the channel expansion we’re doing there, so it makes sense to focus on those markets where we know for sure that this product is going to be a success,” Pei stated.
This sounds an awful lot like OnePlus thinks the Nord — which we got a sneak peak at earlier today — might not do well in North America.
