mood Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 OnePlus teases a fitness tracker with sleep monitoring support Over the last year, OnePlus added several new devices to its portfolio. After sticking to budget-friendly flagships for the last 5 years, the company launched its first true flagship smartphone in 2020, its first mid-ranger in five years, and a couple of affordable smartphones.
