Initially known as a phone maker, OnePlus eventually expanded its products and included other devices. And it seems that we can expect more from the company before the end of the year.
A fresh leak from Mukul Sharma suggests that it seems like a lot of OnePlus devices are going to get an upgrade in the third quarter of 2022.
The reliable tipster said that two pairs of true wireless earbuds (one with the Nord branding) are about to be launched by OnePlus. We can also expect the OnePlus Watch 2, the OnePlus Band 2 and a couple of smartphones in the third quarter of 2022.
What are the Devices that We Can Expect from OnePlus?
There are three different types of wireless earbuds that OnePlus currently sells. These come with a variety of features and a choice of price points. In some part of the world, you can get these audio devices in bundles with OnePlus smartphones.
It's already been a year since the OnePlus Watch was unveiled. It was launched in March 2021.
The OnePlus watch runs its own bespoke operating system. We can, therefore, assume that the OnePlus Watch 2 will follow its footstep when it makes its debut.
One the other hand, the OnePlus Band fitness tracker is currently only available in India. We are still waiting if the OnePlus Band 2 follow-up device (if it is indeed being developed) is going to be available in more regions once it is launched.
Leaker Sharma said that both the OnePlus Watch 2 and the OnePlus Band 2 have entered the production stage in Europe and Asia, as per Android Police report. This only means that the we might be seeing the two new wearables unveiled later this year.
A rumor also circulated that OnePlus is set to release six new phones by the end of September. According to Android Police, "those are thought to include the OnePlus 10 Ultra, OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite, and the OnePlus 10R."
The consumers have received most of the accessories that OnePlus has made in the past well. The OnePlus Nord Buds, for example, had been a hit among consumers.
Therefore, if more gadgets from OnePlus are on the way, the company must be pretty confident that the market will welcome them as well.

OnePlus Thrives in the Industry's Competitive Environment
OnePlus is following the path most other smartphone manufacturers are tracking. OnePlus is having earbuds, smartwatches and fitness trackers that can be bundled with phones. This actually make sense as this is a means to rake in more sales and profit.
For instance, Apple is a company that expanded to a variety of devices. Aside from the iPhone, Apple also launched the AirPods, the Apple Watch and other products.
We can see the same pattern with Samsung and Google. These are two companies that offer plenty of accessories around their flagship smartphones. And they continue to add new products all the time. For example, Google has finally launched the Google Pixel Watch and it is going on sale soon.
Given that kind of competition, OnePlus is indeed trying to keep up by offering new products that can be bundled with their smartphones.
According to TechRadar, "while the sales figures that OnePlus sees for these accessories may not match those of its rivals, it's important to have these products available to go head to head against other companies."
