What’s slightly disconcerting about the device is that it requires charging. The company claims that one full charge [...]

Thanks to the system, OnePlus only manufactures enough inventory as the demand. While at times the demand may be higher than the supply, their supply will never overpower the demand. They said it was their solution to managing risks. And for such a young company, that is one of the most important things they need to think about.
However, the same system is a tiresome ordeal for potential customers. With the launch of [...]
