OnePlus made its way into the smartphone world back in 2013, majorly because of 2 people, Pete Lau and Carl Pei. According to the leaks by a Reddit user, JonSigur, the latter is no longer associated with the company anymore.
According to the latest reports by TechCrunch, Carl Pei, the co-founder of OnePlus has left the company to start his own venture. This comes just days before the launch of the company’s latest device, the OnePlus 8T. As per our sources, Carl had submitted his registration way back in November but was asked stay on till the launch of Nord Series.
The exact reason for Carl’s departure from the company is not known but insiders have said to The Mobile India that he was unhappy with OnePlus foraying into too many segments and he wanted to be focussed on Mobiles.
Pei was known for formulating marketing strategies for the devices by the company, a recent successful example being the OnePlus Nord which was one of the biggest hits of the company.
