OnePlus has today announced its plans for a first-ever R&D Center in Hyderabad, India. The company plans to grow the facility into its biggest research center globally within three years. The facility which will focus on research in key areas such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning will receive a fund of Rs 1000 crore in the time span.
To be more specific, the OnePlus R&D Center will be divided into three arms – a camera lab, a communications/network lab, and an automation lab. The overall areas of development will be 5G, OxygenOS native apps, global product development, and software testing. The center will also specifically develop Oxygen OS features specifically for the Indian market and will be a hub for 5G research in the near future.
