The announcements have drawn attention across global outlets, with coverage ranging from Sri Lanka to Oman, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Singapore. Reports differ in focus, with some emphasizing the VR glasses as a flagship device, others stressing the privacy‑focused camera‑free design, and some mistakenly linking OnePlus products.
