It’s the day of the fools so what were really expecting OnePlus to launch? A real genuine drone or a simple joke? Well the truth is we have ended up with a bit of both.
After rumours circulated and then later confirmed that OnePlus would launch a drone named the DR1 we sat up and took notice. Were OnePlus looking to recreate the success of the OPO in the drone market?
Well not quite. The DR1 Drone has turned out to be a bit of an April Fools prank by the startup. While they have made a limited number of Dr1’s to buy, the drone is little more than a palm sized toy similar to the Cheerson we reviewed a few weeks back.

The tiny little drone would be fun to fly around the house and even outside if the weather is calm enough, but don’t expect to be able to attach a camera and take video of the city with it.

What’s the point of that drone, if you can’t even attach a camera ? Wasting of money ?
Since forever. my website needs promoting but you don’t see me spamming here like that dude. Where’s Andi? Andi!
As the video starts, it makes you think that it’s some sort of flying terminator machine.
i’m sure their video editor guy is a Crysis fan. the first oneplus full teaser video had the crysis 3 menu theme music
Xiaomi released five new products on the 30th March, including two versions of their previously released phones and three smart home appliances.
Meanwhile, OnePlus released a literal joke.
Jokes aside, I’m disappointed in OnePlus. It’s not really an April Fools joke if it’s real.
