In another incident of wrong depiction of the Indian map, OnePlus during the global launch of its flagship OnePlus 5 event had shown a map of India with POK and Aksai Chin missing. While it easily grabbed media attention, OnePlus might debate this "wrong depiction" because both the regions fall under the disputed category in which the Indian border is usually depicted with dotted lines by international companies. For example, while Google India includes both POK and Aksai Chin as a part of India (solid-line border), the UK version of Google Maps marks the region with dotted lines.
The Chinese startup also misspelled the capital of India, Delhi, in a slide during the global presentation. To take it further, the company also seems to be unaware of the fact that Bangalore was officially renamed as Bengaluru long time back.
