OnePlus sent out invites for a networking event at MWC

Highlights: OnePlus sends out invites for an event at MWC It may talk about its future products and their features Reportedly, OnePlus is unlikely to launch the OnePlus 7 at MWC The Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona may hold a lot of surprises for tech affectionados. Among several other launches, we could see Samsung’s 10th anniversary Galaxy devices (though it is unveiling the phone on February 20 in San Francisco), Motorola launching the seventh generation of its G-Series phones and Nokia bringing out the Nokia 9 PureView smartphone. Until now, there were reports that OnePlus would not make an appearance at the event, but now the Chinese company has sent out invites for a closed-door event. Given that there is no aggressive media coverage of any OnePlus device, the invitation to attend the event has come as a surprise. OnePlus isn’t likely to bring the OnePlus 7 at MWC but now we know that the Chinese company is looking to leave its mark at one of the biggest events in the technology industry. As per the invite, OnePlus is hosting a networking event and may talk to the limited audience about its future products and services. “Join OnePlus at Ultramarinos where drinks and a taste of the future will be on us. We'll be celebrating MWC 2019 at this exclusive, invite-only event,” the invite reads. There is no clarity on the nature of the event, but given the media coverage in the recent months, it could be possible that the company may give a sneak peek at its upcoming device or the talk about features of the next generation of phones. At the Annual Qualcomm Summit in December last year, OnePlus CEO, Pete Lau shared some information on the future plans and ideas, shedding light on what we can and should not expect from the company in the near future. As expected, the conversation revolved around the company’s 5G phone, but there was also talk of a smaller OnePlus smartphone. OnePlus made headlines for goofing up on stage where it initially claimed that it will the first one to launch a phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset. The company later came out with an explanation saying that it made a mistake during its presentation at the Snapdragon summit and it will be one of the first companies to launch a smartphone with the new Snapdragon 855 chipset. OnePlus attributed the error to a translation mistake in the slides it presented at the event. The company did not mention the name of the phone, but given the nomenclature that the company is following since its existence, it is expected that the next device will be called the OnePlus 7.
