Last week we told you that LG ended 2017 with minor losses in its mobile division with respect to the 2016 figures. At the beginning, we told you that during this month of January, the firms are gradually presenting their results corresponding to the last year and that these can be interpreted not only as a trajectory of their own technological but also of the supports themselves. The last to publish their accounts has been the Chinese OnePlus.
This brand, whose trajectory is much less extensive than that of its immediate rivals, became known in its day for the peculiar method of acquiring its different models: For a system of invitations in which only members of its community could buy them . The end of this limitation could have done him good and that has resulted in some figures Of which we now tell you more but that nevertheless, will also hide some nuances to take into account.
The data
As collected from GSMArena, the company would have earned during all of 2017 a total of 1.400 million. This amount is 55% higher than in 2016. Among the keys that have favored these results, we find the recent expansion to other markets in which, historically, technology has not been present. The end of the invitations to buy the latest media such as Q5 could also have been decisive.
The nuances of OnePlus growth
As we said before, behind the figures there may be some aspects to take into account. Although 2017 has been the year of the firm's leap to other regions, currently reaching 32 countries, the truth is that in general terms, the brand still remains discreet in terms of its business volume or in other aspects such as its workforce, since it does not reach the 1.000 employees direct. Here is another piece of information to exemplify it: One of the largest Chinese and world technology companies, Huawei, has on the payroll more than 175.000 people and had revenues close to 42.000 million dollars in 2016.
How could 2018 be?
In the last months of 2017, technology has stepped on the accelerator both to reach other markets, and to try to compete against the leaders of the medium and high ranges. This is reflected in the possible arrival of the OnePlus 6 at the end of June this year, or in the special editions, keys to the success of models like the 5T. However, the year has only just begun, and both in this and in the rest of technology, we will have to wait to see how it passes. What do you think? Do you think that in the medium term it will be able to consolidate even more, or will it still have very strong rivals both locally and from the rest of the world? We leave you available related information such as, for example, the full report of the results of the firm so that you can learn more.
