OnePlus It has no intention of getting into the field of gaming phones, but that does not mean that it is not interested in offering the best gaming experience to its users. Hence, I have created some triggers that attach to the phone with the idea of having greater precision when playing titles like Call of Duty, PUBG and the like.
OnePlus made smartphone triggers
One of the features that we have been seeing for a long time in many of the gaming phones that hit the market is the inclusion of touch triggers on one of the edges. Thanks to some pressure-sensitive areas, these act as if they were the triggers that we can see in controllers such as those of PS5 or Xbox.
Of course, the experience is not exactly the same, because pressing a surface is not the same as pressing a button that offers a path with which it is easier to feel that it has actually been pressed. That's why OnePlus has decided to create this accessory for gamers which we could say is not really new, but it could be interesting for those who want to improve the gaming experience on the company's terminals or those of other brands.
We designed the OnePlus gaming triggers to be solid, responsive, pleasingly “clicky,” and, yes, beautiful. We also made sure they work with many other phones—because the best product design is one that leaves you free to make your own choices. pic.twitter.com/hJNa4Dsa5s

As Pete Lau, CEO of OnePlus, showed, these triggers have a clip system that allows them to fit the company's phones and also those of other brands. Because it's not an exclusive OnePlus accessory and that's interesting, because it could even be used with the iPhone. The only requirement is that the thickness be less than 11,5 mm.
Each of the triggers will have a single button, it will not be anything similar to the ones we see on consoles that have two. Something that makes sense, because if not directly, it is better to connect a console controller and put the mobile in the typical supports that are attached to the controller.
Of course, it seems that in order to use them it will not be enough for the game to be a shooter title or similar, it will also have to have advanced customization options when it comes to touch controls onscreen. Because it seems that the part that goes inside the screen is the one that should fall just above that area of the panel that would be pressed when pressing the trigger.
Where OnePlus will sell its new triggers for mobile devices
This particular proposal from OnePlus will surely only interest a few users, those who take the mobile game much more seriously and want to take advantage of any possible advantage to be more competitive. The problem is that for now it does not seem that it is a product that the brand is going to market globally.
yes it is known that in India they are going to be sold and that its exchange price would be around $15. In the rest of the markets there is no data to confirm that they will arrive. It is true that surely some stores that are dedicated to imports will end up selling them, as well as possible similar proposals that can be found from other brands.
