OnePlus CEO: In 5 years it will just be Apple, Samsung and OnePlus in the market

In an interview with USA Today published over the weekend, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei revealed that the company has a second phone in the works that should be ready to ship by Christmas. This might come as a surprise to anyone following the story of the successful mobile startup, especially considering how long it took to get the OnePlus One shipping at a consistent rate.
Regardless of whether or not multiple releases will make consumers uneasy, Pei is unabashedly confident about the future of the OnePlus brand:
“In 5 years I think it will be Apple, OnePlus and Samsung because there’s no more room in the market. Everyone else would’ve died because they couldn’t reach the scale they wanted fast enough or they couldn’t have a margin to sustain their business. Look at the soft drink space: there are only two players, Pepsi and Coke.”
Does that make OnePlus the RC Cola of the smartphone industry? I’m not really sure, but Pei believes OnePlus is in it for the long haul.

go ask any random person and most likely they have no clue what One Plus is, but they would be able to spout off Apple, Samsung, HTC, MotorolaThis post was edited on 8/3/15 at 11:40 am

What a load of BS. Motorola, LG, and HTC aren't going away and there will always be a need for cheap prepaid phones.

As costs go down, I think there will be more in the market. I have the Asus phone and it is great for $300 no contract.

The Microsoft Surface Phone will have a bigger market share in 5 years than OnePlus.

Is this dude an idiot?
He can't even supply phones to people without first issuing "invites" to the lucky few that get the grand opportunity to buy this great phone.
LOL...please dude LG, Motorola, HTC, hell even Huawei aren't afraid of One Plus

trolling man.
all publicity is good publicity esp. when you're a start up phone company nobody outside of geek circles has ever heard of.
i bet reddit has 15000 comments about this already.

There will always be a place for inexpensive handsets, so I dont see Huawei or Xiaomi going anywhere... especially in China.

But you have to ask yourself how long until they throw in the towel when they haven't turned a profit in years.

Not if they keep putting out buggy phones and don't have customer service worth a shite.

Yeah, Xiaomi and Huawei have higher global market shares than LG and are 1, 2 in China and seeing large growth as well, Xiaomi had a 50% market increase year over year.

The OnePlus is a great idea, and I love the design. I just don't think it'll make headway because no one knows what the frick OnePlus is. I think the mobile market desperately needs another big player to push Apple and Samsung out of this infinite loop of pushing just barely to outdo the other.
I'd love to see Microsoft with a solid entry that takes the recent advantage of the super simplified porting process to catch up in terms of apps. Give Windows Phone developers access to a decent (pro-grade) version of Visual Studio 2015 and a ton of perks for porting, and I guarantee it'll pay off. It'd need to be more than just the VS Community version, though, because I have VS2013 Ultimate and I go back to it constantly because Community not having things like CodeLens, Code Clone, and a ton of the other powerful debugging tools I'm used to makes things inconvenient. The cost of upgrading isn't worth it YET, either.
I guess the downside is that they'd lose out on the money from the massive cost to developers for the high-end versions of Visual Studio. The "money lost" by giving away VS2015 would easily be recouped by the money brought in from app sales and increased mobile revenue from having the most popular apps available at the same time as the iOS and Android versions launch.
Winning over developers and making your platform the "cool, fun" one to develop for is how you really get things going. Microsoft is pushing for that right now, but it needs to really come in with a solid bit of hardware if it wants any chance at all.
