One thing we can say about NVIDIA is that it is generally good about keeping its internal plans relatively close to the vest.

It seems Pete Lau and his company, OnePlus, continually strive to innovate with new mobile phones. With every new device, feature, and design, OnePlus pushes the envelope just a little further.
