Only Hurdle in Smaller OnePlus Phones – Battery Life

Pete Lau acknowledged that OnePlus has come across a demand for smaller phones in the market. Since the last few years, the market has mostly witnessed phones which feature a screen larger than 6-inches. The last small phone was the iPhone SE by Apple, which has also been discontinued now. The OnePlus CEO said that the company wants to design a phone with a smaller form factor, but the major hurdle in this path is the concern of short battery life. The small build of the device will mean a smaller battery, and since the battery technology has not advanced that much in the past few years, the phone will likely only make it to the end of the day. He added, that as soon as OnePlus solves this battery problem, the company will be on the task of making a smaller phone.
