OnePlus is one of just a few China based smartphone companies that have managed to stir up some buzz in the United States. The company made a name for itself in the US in much the same way Chinese phone vendors exploded in popularity in China, by making smartphones that rival high-end flagship handsets but for hundreds less. Earlier this year, for example, OnePlus released the OnePlus 5 smartphone. The device packs specs that rival high-end flagships from Samsung and LG, and yet it starts at just $479 while comparable phones cost over $650.
