Just a few days back the comparison between two affordable Chinese flagships – OnePlus 2 and Letv Le One Pro was made and I decided to make an in-depth camera review, so it would be easier for you guys to decide which device is worth your attention.

I have already told my opinion about each phone’s camera in the full comparison but this time around I wanted you to share your thoughts either in the comments section below this article or under the Youtube video.

Both OnePlus 2 and Letv Le One Pro X800 have similar but at the same time different camera hardware. OnePlus 2 uses a 13MP Omnivision sensor with OIS. It is supplemented with the dual single tone LED flash and a laser auto-focus system for that blazing fast focusing.

The Le 1 Pro is no slouch either as it uses a 13MP Sony IMX214 sensor with OIS and a dual tone dual LED flash. A really awesome thing is that the cameras are not protruding on neither of the devices. Despite lacking laser auto-focus, the Le 1 Pro still has blazing fast focus and capture speeds.

Sit back, relax and enjoy!

OnePlus company “invented” a term “Flagship Killer” once they started a huge OnePlus One marketing campaign and it has become very popular every since. Also, the type of promotion OnePlus did was successful in that way that a lot of other Chinese tech companies used this term and right now it seems that when a new top of the line device from China is released, it can be a flagship killer.

I am talking about the OnePlus 2, which has made a lot of hype second year in a row. But what if we put it against the less known Letv Le 1 Pro? (less known for the mainstream users, of course).

Keep in mind that both phones were retested using the latest firmware as of 2015-10-01. This is really important for OnePlus 2 as it has improved significantly in crucial areas like UI speed and camera performance.

OnePlus 2 vs. Letv Le 1 Pro: CONCLUSIONS

So there you have it, the OnePlus 2 vs. Letv Le 1 Pro. Are both devices capable of being flagship killers? Well, if we look at the significant price difference of these phones and the mainstream flagships, yes.

But the real question here is who is the real flagship killer. First of all, both devices are great choices and you will make no mistake choosing either of them but they have their own pros and cons.

The OnePlus 2 has a more conventional design and you can customise it by buying some fancy looking back covers. Also, it has a more traditional almost stock looking UI, a slightly better camera in some scenarios, a larger battery and a fingerprint scanner.

The Letv Le 1 Pro has a premium all-metal design, smaller footprint and better ergonomics, and thus the phone feels significantly smaller in the hand. Also, it has a higher resolution display, a good camera, a really nice looking LeUI, stellar performance, fast charge feature and one of the best in class audio quality.

Which one should you choose? At the end of the day, it all comes to the personal preference but you have to keep in mind all the pros and cons each device has. Still, you will make no mistake choosing either of them as these phones are great bang for your buck.

In case you want to check out the full video reviews of each device, you can find them below.

The post OnePlus 2 vs Letv Le One Pro X800 – In Search of a Real Flagship Killer appeared first on Gizmochina.

We already know a lot about the OnePlus 2 such as the CPU, RAM, Battery etc. However, there were still some questions unanswered like the storage, built quality and the camera as well. Now, it looks like MKBHD has revealed a few details about the OnePlus 2’s camera.

Yesterday, Mr. Brownlee revealed that OnePlus 2 will come a 13MP sensor at the back with Laser Autofocus. If you remember, this tech was first debuted by LG on its G3 flagship and improves focus times to a great extent.

According to the camera review, OnePlus does have a decent rear camera. The 13MP manages to capture clear and sharp pictures with almost accurate color reproduction. The focus times in particular were impressive, thanks to the laser autofocus tech. There are a number of camera options such as Clear-Shot, HDR and Beauty mode. As for the video shooting, the phone is capable of recording videos in up to 4K resolution. You can even take slo-mo videos at 720p.

Overall, it looks like OnePlus 2 will have a capable rear camera. Nothing out of the ordinary, but good enough to satisfy your camera needs.

This kind of solves the mystery of the OnePlus 2 camera, but there are still things we don’t know like the built quality and material, storage etc. Hopefully, we will get more info before the launch event on July 27.

Meanwhile, you can check out all that we know about the OnePlus 2 from this article. 

The post OnePlus 2 Will Come With A 13MP Camera With Laser AutoFocus [Samples Inside] appeared first on Gizmochina.

If it was a year back, sometime before April 2014, nobody would have ever heard of the name OnePlus. In fact, at that time if someone told you that OnePlus was the name of a manufacturer, there was a very good chance that you would have laughed at the name. Now, fast forward 1 year and OnePlus is the name that represents true value for money.

Before 2014, if you had to purchase a high end device (3GB RAM), you would have had to shell out no less than $500. This was a time when even Xiaomi was just opening up, expanding its lineup with cheaper and better models. And it was precisely at this point when OnePlus made the debut with its OnePlus One flagship. The specs represented a high-end flagship while the pricing was that of a mid-range. In every sense, the “One” was a flagship killer.

So, its no surprise that everyone is so fond of the company. All of us are excited to see what kind of features will be present on the new OnePlus Two flagship and the company has done a pretty good job of keeping us fans satisfied with timely teasers and updates.

In fact, we already know a lot about the OnePlus Two flagship. Probably more than most other smartphones that haven’t been released. And since a majority of these info comes directly from the company, we can be sure that they will end up on the new generation flagship.

Anyways, since we already know a lot about the OnePlus Two, I thought it would be best to put them all together in one place. So, down below are the 10 important things we already know about the OnePlus Two flagship.

1. CPU:

OnePlus recently confirmed that the new OnePlus flagship will come with Snapdragon 810 v2.1 (third generation) chipset. I am sure many would be disappointed with this decision, considering the overheating problem associated with the chip, but the company has promised that the new version of the chipset will be cooler than ever (probably a bit underclocked too, at least thats what we think). So, at this moment we are hoping that the promise is fulfilled.

2. RAM:

Well, 3GB RAM was the flagship standard about a year back and OnePlus One had 3GB of RAM. Now, its time to take things to a whole new level with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. The company has confirmed that OnePlus Two will join the likes of limited smartphones to feature 4GB of internal RAM.

3. SIZE:

We are not sure if we will see the same 5.5-inch 1080p display on the OnePlus Two, however, what we know is that the overall size of the handset will be smaller than the OnePlus One. So, those who complained that the device couldn’t fit comfortably in their hands, now have something to cheer about.

4. BATTERY:

One of the important features of a smartphone these days, the battery is reportedly bigger on the new handset. The company confirms that OnePlus Two will come with a 3300mAh greater than the 3100mAh capacity on the ‘One’.

5. Fingerprint Sensor:

One of the new features on the OnePlus Two will be the physical Fingerprint Sensor. The move isn’t surprising, given that all major flagships come with fingeprint recognition these days. The company also notes that this will be one of the fastest fingerprint sensors on a smartphone (even faster than touch ID).

6. USB Type-C:

Another welcome addition to the OnePlus Two is the new USB Type-C port. The LeTV series came with these reversible and more powerful ports and its no surprise to see them end up on the next-gen flagship. However, we don’t know whether it will be USB 2.0, 3.0 or even 3.1 like the ZUK Z1.

7. ROM:

Instead of the CyanogenMod ROM that came with the OnePlus One, the company will be debuting with the OnePlus Two its own Oxygen OS (HydrogenOS in China). This is a forked version of the AOSP ROM and is reportedly tailor made to work smoothly with Snapdragon v2.1.

8. Three Different Versions For Different Regions:

The company has confirmed three different versions of the OnePlus Two, each aimed at a specific region namely China, North America and Europe/ Asia. OnePlus has also confirmed the supported bands and they are as follow:

US

GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/8

FDD-LTE: Bands:  1/2/4/5/7/8/12/17

Europe

GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/5/8

FDD-LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

9. Swappable Back Covers:

OnePlus Two will come with at least five different swap covers which will be available at launch. We expect the popular ones like Bamboo and other wooden covers to be available for the new device.

10. Price:

Finally, OnePlus CEO has confirmed that the OnePlus Two will be priced below $450. While its still slightly higher than the original OnePlus One model, given the upgraded specs, if the price is indeed below $450, the phone still offers more value for money.

FYI, the invite system will be back for the OnePlus Two also. But the company has promised that it will be better than before.

As you can see, we know a lot about the upcoming OnePlus Two flagship. But there’s still a lot of question marks in areas like storage (whether expandable), camera, screen resolution and even build quality (which will most likely be metal!).

We expect more information directly from the company in the company before the official launch on July 27, so stay tuned.

The post 10 Things We Know For Sure About The OnePlus 2 appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus will announce the OnePlus Two flagship at the end of this month. The company has been teasing various features of the device for the past couple of weeks and hence, we have a fair idea about its specs. Today, we got a little more information about the specs of the device.

The OnePlus Two is expected to come with a slightly larger battery, a 3300mAh capacity one instead of just 3100mAh. The OnePlus One had a pretty great battery life, so we hope that with increased capacity, the new flagship too features stellar usage times. The phone is confirmed to come with the Snapdragon 810 v2.1 chipset along with LPDDR4 RAM.

Also, there will be a USB Type-C port on board, but we are still not sure whether it will be USB 3.0 like the the ZUK Z1. At the back, expect a 16MP OIS camera, a slight upgrade than the previous generation along with a fingerprint sensor just below the unit. OnePlus claims that the fingerprint recognition will be faster than Apple’s Touch ID. As for the display, expect a 5.5-inch screen with 2K resolution.

We also know that the phone will most likely come with an all metal built and it will be priced under $450. It will be smaller than the current generation ‘One’ despite the increased battery capacity. There are also rumors about a standard version, which should be much cheaper. This version should come with slightly lower specs like 3GB RAM and 1080p display.

We hope to get more information soon, so stay tuned!

For the past couple of weeks, OnePlus has been teasing some of the features of its upcoming OnePlus Two flagship smartphone. Thanks to these teasers, we already know a lot about the device. And it looks like the company will continue teasing us till the phone is officially launched on July 28.

In the latest teaser, the company has confirmed that the OnePlus Two will feature LPDDR4 4GB RAM. This will be an upgrade from the 3GB RAM that was found on the current generation flagship, the OnePlus One. What’s more, with the kind of features that we are going to see on the new device, coupled with the affordable pricing, the OnePlus Two is once again turning out to be a flagship killer.

The company has already revealed that it will feature the Snapdragon 810 v2.1 octa-core 64-bit chip which will make sure that the phone will run smoothly especially with 4GB RAM on board. Further, the company will have an efficient fingerprint ID tech on the device, which is reportedly faster than Apple’s touch ID. Other confirmed features include USB Type-C port, an all metal body and a price tag of under $450.

Recent rumors have suggested that we may see two different versions of the flagship. The high-end model will reportedly come with 4GB RAM, 5.5-inch 2K and 2499 price tag, while the standard version is expected to come with 3GB RAM, 5.5-inch 1080p display and 1999 price tag.

Overall, the specs turn out to be pretty high-end. We hope to see more such teasers in the coming days until July 27, when the flagship is unveiled.

The post OnePlus Two Confirmed To Come With 4GB LPDDR4 RAM appeared first on Gizmochina.

For the past couple of weeks, we have been consistently hearing about the new features of the upcoming OnePlus Two flagship. From these teasers, we know that the phone will significantly upgrade the design and the overall specs as compared to the previous generation, which brings us to an important question: Price! 

While the company was not very clear about its pricing strategy for the new OnePlus Two flagship, late yesterday, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that the flagship will be priced below $450. This definitely comes as good news for fans all around the world, as this could be the pricing for the high end version. Although its costlier than the previous generation, the new model will feature much better specs justifying the price.

Till now, the company has confirmed a number of features on the new flagship. First of all, the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 810 v2.1 (third generation) chipset, which although, may not be the best chip around, its good if the company has somehow managed to fix the heating issues. There will be a fingerprint sensor on board, a first for a OnePlus device. We also know that the phone will come with the new USB Type-C port as well as full metal body.

There will reportedly be two different versions of the device. The high-end model will mostly likely come with a 2K 5.5-inch display and 4GB of RAM. On the other hand, the standard version will come with 1080p display and 3GB of RAM. Other common specs include 16MP rear camera, 5MP front facing one, Android 5.1 and 3300mAh battery.

Of course, some of these specs have not yet been confirmed by the company. But since the launch is very near, on July 28, we expect a few more confirmations pretty soon. Stay tuned to the website for more details.

The post OnePlus Two To Be Priced Below $450, Confirms CEO appeared first on Gizmochina.

While most of the features of the OnePlus Two are already known to us, thanks to the various leaks from the company, we still have very little idea about its exterior appearance. Recent leak had revealed that the company was going to ditch its plastic body in favor of an all metal one. And earlier today, we came across a new render on Weibo which could possibly be of the OnePlus Two flagship.

As you can see in the picture above, the device does retain a few design aspects from its previous generation. However, instead of a plastic body, the phone comes in an all metal design. You can see the OnePlus logo at the back, and above that the camera sensor and the dual LED flash. The overall phone looks quite thin too and is gently arched at the back. This should provide better grip to the user while holding the device.

Interestingly, we don’t see any fingerprint sensor at the back. So, either it could be at the front integrated into the home button like the Meizu MX5, or this is just a basic prototype design. The company is yet to confirm anything about the design of the new flagship as of now. But given that we are going to see the new handset, probably in two variants on July 28, we don’t have to wait too long to have a look at the new company flagship.

So what do you think about this design? Is it good enough to replace the popular OnePlus One?

The post OnePlus Two In All Metal Body Leaked In Renders appeared first on Gizmochina.

Remember back in May, we came across One A2001 model which was most likely the OnePlus Two flagship. Just moments after three new models (A2001, A2003 & A2005) were found on the Bluetooth SIG website, the second model, namely A2003 hit GeekBench website, revealing a few details about the device in question.

The One A2003 came with octa-core Qualcomm processor (which is going to be Snapdragon 810) clocked at 1.55GHz. As you can see, the clock speed has been reduced to a great extent during this test, either because this is a prototype model or to avoid overheating issues. Even the Snapdragon 810 v2.1 is being accused of overheating, so OnePlus will have to be careful to avoid such issues in its new flagship. The company will most likely increase the clock speed to around 2.0GHz for the ideal performance.

Along with the chipset, the phone also comes with 4GB of RAM as opposed to the 3GB found on the A2001 handset. So, this one’s probably the higher-end OnePlus Two model. We still don’t know what to expect from the One A2005 model, but we hope to get more details pretty soon.

As of now, we know that there will be Snapdragon 810 v2.1 chipset inside OnePlus Two, along with an all metal body, USB Type-C port and fingerprint recognition that’s reportedly faster than Touch ID. The company is expected to reveal the handset on July 27, which is still three weeks away. So, until then, stay tuned for more details.

Unfortunately, you still need invites to purchase the device, but the company says its going to be in greater number this time.

The post Higher-End OnePlus Two Version Spotted On GeekBench With 4GB RAM appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus has been slowly teasing a few aspects of its upcoming OnePlus Two smartphone. Its been more than a year since we saw the first flagship device from the company, and latest rumors indicate that we will get to see the handset sometime in July.

We already know that OnePlus Two will feature the new generation Snapdragon 810 v2.1 chipset under the hood. Along with this octa-core chip, the company has also confirmed the presence of the new age, USB Type-C port, the same one found on LeTV smartphones. 

Now, the company has released a new teaser which reveals that the OnePlus Two will feature Fingerprint ID. Apparently, the sensor inside the ‘Two’ will be faster than Apple’s Touch ID. We still don’t know whether this is possible due to a better sensor or some software tweak, but it will definitely speed up the process of unlocking your smartphone. The company aims to make fingerprint ID a core feature of the device, so it may not just be limited to unlocking the phone.

Interestingly, the two main smartphones that are going to launch today namely the Meizu MX5 and the Huawei Honor 7 are both expected to come with fingerprint ID. It looks like mainstream smartphone manufacturers have finally decided to make fingerprint ID standard among flagship devices.

We will be covering both the launches which will start in a few hours. So, stay tuned for more updates.

Oneplus 2 will be revealed on July 27th, and it’ll be the world’s first product to launch in VR. There are 2 specs were confirmed by official: the new Oneplus 2 phone will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 v2.1 processor, and the latest USB type-c port. Today, a picture leaked on Weibo, and tell us about what the Oneplus 2 looks like.

The Oneplus 2 looks smaller than the One, but use a metal frame material. The screen should be still 5.5 inch, and with a removable plastic back cover. There is stereo speaker on the bottom, and the type-c port is in the middle. The new phone thickness is only 5-6mm, so it’s really slim. The leaked picture is not very clear, so we still need wait for a month.

Update: Oneplus claim the picture is fake.

Update 2: Some pictures leaked from Phonearena:

OnePlus has been giving us hints about its upcoming OnePlus Two flagship. Last week, the company slashed the prices of OnePlus One, most likely to make way for its new model. Now, the company has officially revealed the processor inside the new flagship, the Snapdragon 810.

While this doesn’t come as a surprise, it does bring forward a lot of questions, especially whether OnePlus managed to fix the heating issue associated with the chipset. To answer all your doubts, the company has written a detailed blog post which reveals that its engineers worked closely with Qualcomm to develop a cooler version of the chipset without compromising performance.

The OnePlus Two will use Snapdragon 810 v2.1 which is the same version that’s inside the Xiaomi Mi Note flagship. The post also adds that the company did consider other chipset options, but every time, it came back to Snapdragon 810 because of its advanced features.

“Features that the 810 supports include streaming 4K Ultra HD video, amazingly crisp and fast photos with one quick snap, immersive 3D gaming brought to you by the first-in-class Adreno 430 GPU, high-quality video streaming that uses less bandwidth, and exceptional battery life” were some of the features of 810 detailed in the post.

The company has also heavily optimized its OxygenOS to run smoothly on the OnePlus Two with Snapdragon 810. The OS was pretty fluid on the OnePlus One, so we expect the experience to be the same even on the new device. The company said that they have created a proprietary technology, which will handle a variety of tasks for the chipset inside the ‘two’.

OnePlus has assured that the phone won’t get warmer with 810 inside, further explaining that the phone comes with graphite and thermal gel for effective heat dissipation.

According to recent rumors, OnePlus Two is expected to debut sometime in July this year, so we don’t have to wait too long to more official details about the flagship.

The post OnePlus Two Confirmed To Feature Snapdragon 810 v2.1 CPU appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oneplus has confirmed that the Oneplus Two is coming soon. In this regard, the company has started a number of online contests such as ‘PhotoMania 2015’ and ‘Your OnePlus Story’. While leaks have suggested a lot of things about the upcoming OnePlus Two flagship, Chinese Media revealed a few details about the phone earlier today.

The website reveals that OnePlus will keep a conference next month, i.e. July where it will unveil the new generation flagship. The source further adds that the company will continue with the low cost pricing with the new model, which will feature high-end specs.

Some of the possible specs include Snapdragon 810 with 3GB RAM, 13MP camera and 5.5-inch 1080p display, all for a price tag of just 1999 Yuan ($322). The source also says that there could be another smartphone launch before the end of the year with more powerful specs..

Unfortunately, the company has revealed very little about the upcoming OnePlus Two, so for now, we can’t be sure whether there will be two launches from the company this year. Anyways, stay tuned for more details.

Users can finally take a look at the HydrogenOS, which is the Chinese ROM from the company, today at an official press event in Beijing. The company will be unveiling the new OS for the first time to the public and fans have a lot of expectation from the new home grown Android based ROM.

The HydrogenOS will be customized version of the Android operating system, offering a minimalistic design and a flat UI like we saw in the Android Lollipop versions. The emergence of HydrogenOS resulted from the company’s decision to move away from a third party software provider, the CyanogenMod to its own home grown ROM.

We have already got a first glance at the few design aspects of the new ROM and you can check out the images down below. Meanwhile, the company has announced that it will be unveiling something big this June, which will be revolutionary. Our best guess is the new OnePlus Two flagship, as its more than a year since the first generation model was unveiled by the company. The flagship is expected to debut with the company’s international ROM OxygenOS.

Here are the leaked pictures of the OS down below.

We are waiting for the Oneplus two phone for long time, and today, the render pictures and main specs finally leaked on China weibo. The Weibo said, Oneplus Two will equip a 5.7-inch 2K display screen, and 16-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front camera. The screen use a 2.5D panel looks like iPhone 6, along with 3300mAh battery, Oxygen OS base on Android 5.o OS.

Today, there is another news leaked from Geekbench, the model name is Oneplus A2001, powered 1.55 Qualcomm MSM8994 processor which also named Snapdragon 810, along with 3GB RAM. The benchmark scores seems is not good as Xiaomi Mi Note Pro. Maybe it is just an engineering sample.

The Chinese smartphone market have come to a whole new level this year, with companies like Nubia, Vivo and Xiaomi proving that they can make top-end smartphones at an affordable price tag. With all these companies making a buzz in the market, yesterday, OnePlus CEO Liu Zuohu asked his fans the reasonable price for a Snapdragon 810 powered OnePlus device.

Despite the criticisms about the Snapdragon 810 chipset, most renowned manufacturers have decided to go with this top-end Qualcomm chipset and its likely that the coming generation of Oneplus, i.e. the OnePlus Two may also feature this processor. So, when Liu asked to his fans, “If OnePlus Two comes with Snapdragon 810, what do you think will be the price?”, many responded with different figures.

However, it looks like the some managed to give out a reasonable figure. A few hours back, Liu posted on his Weibo that 2499 Yuan seems to be a reasonable price. So, it looks like the upcoming OnePlus Two smartphone could be priced around 2499 Yuan.

OnePlus has always been popular for its value for money handsets and despite many claims that the upcoming flagship may turn out to be a bit costly, it looks like the company will try to keep the price affordable.

According to earlier reports, the OnePlus Two will debut in the third quarter of 2015 with Snapdragon 810, 4GB RAM and a 5.5-inch 2K screen. Its even said that the phone will feature a fingerprint sensor, but the company is yet to confirm its specs.

Anyways, stay tuned for more information in the coming months.

The post OnePlus Two With Snapdragon 810 could be priced around 2499 Yuan according to CEO appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus is expected to unveil two new smartphones this year. In addition to the flagship, OnePlus Two model, recent rumors have said that the company will also release a cheaper model, to compete with budget smartphones in the market.

The company recently announced that it will keep an event on April 20 i.e. today where we expect at least one smartphone announcement. At this event, we may also see the cheaper version’s debut.

The leaked image shows that the phone will have a similar design as the OnePlus One flagship, except for a few subtle changes. One difference that we spotted was the single LED flash below the camera unit, as opposed to dual LED flash on the OnePlus One. The back seems to have the same silk white texture as the existing flagship model.

We still don’t know for sure whether this is the cheaper version that will be launching this year. The leak just shows the picture but says nothing about the name of the phone, but since the phone has a single LED flash, we are assuming that it could be low-end model. Another reason we believe that this could be real is because the Ubuntu Leakster team has been right with their leaks quite a lot of time, so this one too could end up being real.

Anyways, since OnePlus has an event today, we expect more concrete information pretty soon. Stay tuned for more details.

Fans finally have something to be excited about, as the latest report from Bloomberg states that OnePlus could unveil not one but two new smartphones later this year. This contradicts previous reports which said that the OnePlus Two flagship could be potentially delayed to 2016.

According to the report, OnePlus Two along with a budget friendly smartphone will be unveiled by the company around Q3 2014. Earlier, OnePlus CEO had hinted that the new flagship could see the light of the day by September and looks like this report supports this time frame.

However, this is the first time we are hearing about a cheaper One Plus device as all previous rumors suggested otherwise. In the early days of 2015, rumors said that the company could be focusing on a premium smartphone for launch alongside the OnePlus Two. But this report states otherwise.

Also, OnePlus Two is said to bring a lot of new upgrades such as a 5.5-inch 2K display, Snapdragon 810 and 4GB RAM. However, with such hardware, its practically impossible to maintain the $380 price tag. So, the company may have to increase its base price this year.

Anyways, we are sure fans must be excited to hear that they will see two OnePlus smartphones this year, that too one within the reach of budget buyers. Given that the report is said to come from the OnePlus office, it may actually turn out to be true.

If this is the case, expect a lot more information about the two new handsets, pretty soon.

So, what do you think, will the new flagship be as successful as the OnePlus One?

The post OnePlus said to be launching not one, but two new smartphones this year appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus is one of those companies, which managed to bring a lot of hype to the western world, which does not always happen with all the Chinese companies. After teasing the OnePlus One as the “Flagship Killer” for some time it got attention from many tech enthusiasts around the globe. However, it has been quite a while since the One was launched and right now we are into the OnePlus Two rumours mill.

It seems that the company is pretty confident about itself and it is ready to go toe to toe with the biggest players in the marker or even overcome them. This time around, the leaked features suggest that the device will have something interesting called a laser focus fingerprint identification embedded in the home button.

What is more, the front of the device will look similar to the Oppo Find 7, which does not surprise us as the OnePlus One looks very similar to the latter smartphone.

Also, there will be regular capacitive Android 5.0 buttons on the sides.

As far as availability goes, the device is said to come out in Q3 this year. What we hope is that the company will be more mature and get rid of the controversial marketing ideas. Also, we hope that OnePlus will have their production lines in tact and there will be no more invite system.

Furthermore, other rumours as well as the recent interviews with the top executives of the company suggest that the OnePlus Two will be more expensive. It is a natural consequence as the OnePlus One was the part of the marketing strategy to sell the device nearly at the cost. In addition, the device may not have neither the Micro SD nor removable battery, nor the wireless charging technology. Finally, the company is said to stick to the reliable Snapdragon chips (most likely 810) for the upcoming device.

As the rumour mill has already heated up, stay tuned for more news to come!

After OnePlus One JBL version announced along with specialized JBL E1+ earphones, Oneplus’s CEO Pete Lau said Oneplus two is under designing, will be released at second season in 2015, and they just started to develop Oneplus’ ROM. ROM development is a new field for Oneplus, current target is to make unique features, can not compete with the other ROMs in every aspect.

Pete also said the reason he left Oppo and set up Oneplus is because he found the cellphones in the market are far away from beatiful and laggy UI, or poor crafted.  Oneplus can do better in this feilds. Collaboration with JBL can enhance Oneplus’ global beand awareness.  After reaching 17 countries with its only device, it is now aiming to gain more markets.
