OnePlus To Launch Gaming Smartphone With Shoulder Triggers
The upcoming model will compete with gaming phones like the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro, Red Magic 10 Pro and Red Magic 10 Pro+ in the Chinese market.
OnePlus is preparing to launch two new phones in India – the Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 – on July 8. Earlier this month, the company also introduced the compact OnePlus 13s, which comes with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
Now, rumours suggest OnePlus may soon launch a gaming smartphone. This phone may offer powerful features and include shoulder triggers to give users a better gaming experience. It is unlikely to launch in India or other global markets.
More brands are now exploring the gaming phone market. Recently, Infinix launched the GT 30 Pro 5G in India. It comes with GT shoulder triggers that have a 520Hz response rate. The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset and features an XBoost Gaming Engine along with AI-backed VC cooling. It is priced at Rs 24,999 for the 8GB + 256GB model.
If OnePlus joins this segment, it could bring strong competition. But for now, Indian gamers may have to wait to see if this device ever comes to their market.

'Will Tell You In Two Weeks': Trump Says He Has Wealthy Buyers Lined Up To Buy TikTok
Last Updated: Trump had extended the deadline for China-based ByteDance to sell TikTok's US assets to September 17, earlier this month. US President Donald Trump, in an interview with Fox News, said on Sunday that he has found a buyer for the video app TikTok. He also referred to the buyer as a group of 'very wealthy people" whose identities he will reveal in about two weeks. Revealing more, Trump stated that the deal will need China's nod and that he might soon get Beijing's approval as well, who, as per the American president, would likely approve it. 'We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way," Trump said. 'I think I'll probably need China's approval. I think President Xi will probably do it." On being asked about the identity of the buyer, he said, 'I will tell you in about two weeks." Trump: We have a buyer for TikTok, by the Who is the buyer? Trump: I will tell you in about 2 weeks. — Clash Report (@clashreport) June 29, 2025 Earlier this month, the US president extended the deadline for China-based ByteDance to sell TikTok's US assets to September 17, despite a law requiring either a sale or shutdown if substantial progress wasn't made. A potential agreement had been developing earlier this spring to separate TikTok's US operations into a newly formed, US-based company, primarily owned and managed by American investors. However, the plan was paused after China signaled disapproval, following President Trump's announcement of sharp tariff hikes on Chinese imports. According to a law passed in the United States in 2024, TikTok must either be sold by its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or shut down in the US by January 19, 2025, unless ByteDance could show that it had made major progress toward selling its US operations. However, Trump, who has believed that the video app has helped him gain popularity among young voters during the 2024 election, has extended the deadline three times, giving ByteDance more time to sell the app instead of immediately shutting it down.

Buyer found for TikTok, identities to be revealed soon, says Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview broadcast on Sunday that he had found a buyer for the TikTok short-video app, which he described as a group of "very wealthy people" whose identities he will reveal in about two weeks. Trump made the remarks in an interview on Fox News ' "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo" program. He said the deal he is developing would probably need China's approval to move forward and he predicted Chinese President Xi Jinping would likely approve it. The US president earlier this month had extended to September 17 a deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the U.S. assets of TikTok despite a law that mandated a sale or shutdown without significant progress. A deal had been in the works this spring that would have spun off TikTok's U.S. operations into a new U.S.-based firm, majority-owned and operated by U.S. investors, but it was put on hold after China indicated it would not approve it following Trump's announcements of steep tariffs on Chinese goods. "We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way," Trump said. "I think I'll need probably China's approval. I think President Xi will probably do it." A 2024 U.S. law required TikTok to stop operating by January 19 unless ByteDance had completed divesting the app's U.S. assets or demonstrated significant progress toward a sale. Trump, who credits the app with boosting his support among young voters in last November's presidential election, has extended the deadline three times.
