OnePlus revealed its 'game changer' product which is a drone called DR-1. Now before saying wow read what OnePlus had to say about this new product "Happy April Fool's Day from OnePlus! While we had some fun with this
product pitch, we've also prepared a limited quantity of the DR-1 for
you to buy." The game changer product is actually a tiny quadcopter called OnePlus DR-1 which is available in limited quantities at the company's website for $20. (already out of stock) The drone has a wingspan of 70mm (2.75 inches), which the company claims it to be the smallest remote-controlled drone in the world. It is equipped with four blades to generate flight lift and has a chargable 100mAh battery which delivers 5-8 minutes of flight time. The drone also has ultra-bright LEDs for easy detection in night. It weighs 12.5 grams.
Earlier this month, OnePlus started teasing a brand new product calling it a "game changer". The new product will be announced in April. The teaser images teased with phrases like 'You're in contol' and #OneGameChanger.
Now, during a AMA (ask me anything) session on Reddit, a OnePlus Official responded to a question regarding the upcoming product, saying that "it's a drone, the DR-1, and we will start selling it next month."
Unfortunately, OnePlus did not reveal any details on the design, specification and the pricing of the DR-1 Drone.
Also, three months back, OnePlus posted a picture taken by the drone on Instagram. The description reads "We've been playing with our new drone and shot this photo of our building at night. What do you want to see next? #OnePlusLife"
Given the magnitude, how OnePlus One shook the smartphone market, we expect to the OnePlus Drone do something pretty radical as well. The OnePlus Dr-1 Drone will start selling from next month.
