13452-435: Was pulled a couple days later due to issues with regards to instability that were present. OnePlus fixed the issues and reuploaded the beta version on 3 January 2018. The first stable Android Oreo-based version of OxygenOS (OxygenOS 5.0.2) for the OnePlus 5T was released on 31 January 2018, introducing features such as Picture-in-Picture, Autofill, and Notification Dots, as well as a faster boot time. The update also introduced

13570-413: Was raised in 1995 through the sale of 11.5 million more shares. The second funding round was done to raise money for the mass manufacturing of CDMA-based phones, base-stations, and equipment, after most US-based cellular networks announced they would adopt the CDMA standard. The company had $ 383 million in annual revenue in 1995 and $ 814 million by 1996. In 1998, Qualcomm was restructured, leading to

13688-452: Was sold to AT&T for $ 1.93 billion. Qualcomm rebooted the effort in 2013 with LTE Broadcast, which uses pre-existing cell towers to broadcast select content locally on a dedicated spectrum, such as during major sporting events. Based on technology acquired from Iridigm in 2004 for $ 170 million, Qualcomm began commercializing Mirasol displays in 2007, which was expanded into eight products in 2008. Mirasol uses natural light shining on

13806-436: Was the successor to the company's successful first phone. It was unveiled a little over a year after the OnePlus One, on 27 July 2015. The company promoted it as the "2016 Flagship killer". There were very high expectations for the second generation OnePlus phones, partly because the company managed to create a high amount of hype for the then-upcoming phone. The OnePlus 2 had specifications comparable to other flagship phones of
