What happened to OnePlus in America?
Rich On Tech Weekly - July 27, 2026
On this episode of Rich on Tech Weekly, Rich looks back at the rise and fall of OnePlus and explains why the once-beloved Android brand is leaving the U.S. market.
Then, he gets behind the wheel of Chip, a compact electric vehicle designed for neighborhood driving, and meets a 17-year-old inventor whose wearable device aims to make walking safer by detecting traffic approaching from behind.
Rich also checks out Nex Playground, a controller-free gaming system that gets the whole family moving, and shows how smartwatch fall detection from Apple, Samsung, and Google can automatically call for help during an emergency, a feature that proved lifesaving for one 86-year-old woman.
Watch Rich on Tech Weekly streaming Sundays at 11 a.m. on the free KTLA+ app, also available on demand on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and Samsung smart TVs.
