OnePlus stands at a disadvantage because it’s still a young company with very little resources to tackle big companies such as Apple and Samsung which are the leading the Smartphone market. But OnePlus has come a long way since the OnePlus One, they have been steadily growing and getting better at what they do. Since they are a small company they listen to their users and give them exactly what they want.
