It was last October when we heard about the separation of Carl Pei from OnePlus. He was one of the founders together with Pete Lau of one of the most important Chinese companies dealing with telephony. At that time, Carl did not leak anything about his future plans even though we had some ideas. No doubt he would get back on track with a new company, but specialized in what ?. A few months later, the co-founder of OnePlus has decided to answer user questions and revealed his future plans.
After the split with the telephony brand, Carl Pei ventures into the audio sector: music and headphones will be his priorities with the new start-up
According to what revealed by Wired, Carl Pei decided to invest time and money together with another former Apple visionary, namely Tony Fadell, director of the consulting firm Future Shape e inventor of the iPod. That's right, the MP3 player that was all the rage years ago. In the declarations of the big game ex OnePlus would also have leaked the reason why he left on foot (so to speak) Pete Lau and if they really had a fight like they say.
I wanted to explore something new. I still feel like I have a lot of creativity inside of me, but I still love technology and have some new ideas that I wanted to try. So I decided to make my birthday my last day
In reference to the abandonment of OnePlus on its birthday, September 11th
This means that it has been heard forced to abandon from OnePlus? Here is his answer:
I have nothing against my time there. I learned a lot. I grew up there. Now, in my thirties, I want to try something new. It was a friendly start and we are still in touch. We write to each other once every two weeks
In reference to the alleged quarrel, but will it be true?
What is the co-founder of OnePlus doing now?
The one he has tried his hand at is the audio sector. Since the founding of OnePlus, Carl pei has invested in a company that si will deal with MP3 players, headphones and more. In its view it will be something broader, a project of great value. Some claim that with this new project the entrepreneur will come close to Spotify: it is even rumored that it is the creation of a start-up that Spotify itself would buy in the future.
This new company, whose name is Breezy, currently it is made up of less than ten people, but Pei is actively recruiting other figures. Will have headquarters not in Asia or the United States, but a London. Apparently Brexit doesn't bother him at all. We await official news regarding what will happen to the Chinese entrepreneur, given that it was nebulous in his statements.
