China's OnePlus, backed by Qualcomm and T-Mobile, launches a smartphone in the US UU







HONG KONG / NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Chinese smartphone company whose high-end products are little-known outside a niche of technology experts entered the US market on Monday with the backing of two key local allies: the giant producer of Qualcomm chips (QCOM.O) and the mobile operator T-Mobile US Inc (TMUS.O) - and there are no questions from US regulators.

The OnePlus foray, based in Shenzhen, 5 years old, occurs after AT & T, the US mobile operators. UU (TENNESSEE) and Verizon (VZ.N) this year he withdrew from plans to work with China's Huawei on high-end phones under pressure from the US government. UU., Which considers Huawei a security risk. 

The United States also briefly banned companies from selling products to ZTE (000063.SZ), which was captured by sending technology from the United States to Iran and North Korea, violating the sanctions of the United States. 

"Given the Chinese government's involvement with other Chinese telecommunications companies, we must always look closely every time a new Chinese telecommunications provider tries to enter the domestic market," US Senator Mark Warner said in a response e-mailed to A question from Reuters. . "There may be real security concerns here, as we saw with Huawei and ZTE." 

But the OnePlus alliance, announced at an event in New York on Monday, shows how much trade relations between the United States and China, including those involving the most advanced technologies, are advancing despite the escalation of the US-China trade war. .  

T-Mobile said the OnePlus 6T smartphone would be exclusively launched at the airline's stores on November 1 with a starting price of $ 549, the first time a OnePlus phone was sold through a wireless service provider in the US. . UU And an agreement that the biggest rivals of the company like Huawei could not carry out.  

While some OnePlus models have been on sale in the United States through e-commerce websites, relationships with operators such as T-Mobile are critical because most US consumers still buy phones through their mobile devices. suppliers. 

"I do not know if it's a good time for anyone else," said Carl Pei, the founder of OnePlus, 29, about the possibility of entering the US telephone market during an interview with Reuters in an interview. Event in Hong Kong last week. "It's a good time for us." 

In an interview on Monday, Jon Freier, executive vice president of retail sales at T-mobile, said the trade battle between China and China had no role in this agreement and that the airline has not heard from US regulators. "OnePlus has an excellent reputation, and we have researched the device and have thoroughly investigated it," said Freier. 

Xiaomi, a Chinese rival that also focuses on feature-packed telephones at bargain prices, said it plans to launch in the United States next year, but did not respond to a request for comments on whether those plans are still in place.  

OnePlus is unusual among Chinese technology companies, which generally focus on mass market products for domestic customers. OnePlus, on the other hand, only sells premium phones that cost $ 400 or more and almost exclusively online, except in India. It obtains two thirds of its income from outside China and is the largest seller of high quality smartphones in India. 

OnePlus is affiliated with OPPO, a Chinese manufacturer of smartphones and a major force in mid-range phones, which are sold worldwide and cost around $ 300. The relationship helps OnePlus keep costs down, said analyst of Canalys Mo Jia. 

According to the registration records of Chinese companies, the two companies have common shareholders. 

Pei shrugged off any concern that US trade sentiment would be affected by the trade dispute between China and the United States. "At the end of the day, all you can control is yours. . " 

Pei, who was born in China and raised in Sweden, said the brand is intercultural and international: "When we started, we saw that through social networks, you can talk to everyone around the world, as long as you can talk about them. language." 

"If OnePlus is an independent actor and is not under the control of the Chinese Communist Party, we should welcome them to compete in the US market," said Senator Warner. "But we have to make sure they are that independent actor and can not be taken advantage of by the Chinese government to damage our national security."
