Last year, OnePlus, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer surprised almost every player in the smartphone industry with its high end affordable OnePlus One smartphone. The company introduced a new way of buying their product; one could only do so on an invite basis, although this affected its sales, despite retaining the exclusive image it wished to build amongst users. While most users preferred to turn to Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.'s (NASDAQ:SSNLF) smartphones or Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone, users who took the leap of faith by buying the OnePlus One were not left to rue their decision.
The company introduced a smartphone with an in-built Cyanogen-Mod at a reasonable price of just $350, naturally attracting users and developers alike. With the company set to launch the second iteration of its OnePlus series of smartphones on July 27, users have been at the edge of their seats trying to get more information about the forthcoming device.
The company has been teasing users with details about the OnePlus 2 at regular intervals, such as informing them that the forthcoming model will be powered by Qualcomm Inc.'s (NASDAQ:QCOM) Snapdragon 810 v2.1 processor alongside an impressive RAM of 4GB.
The company that proclaims itself to launch smartphones dubbed "the flagship killer" will be introducing design changes in its upcoming model. It recently took to Reddit and shared an image which showcased that the new OnePlus 2 will in fact be somewhat smaller than its predecessor. Although it is certain that the device will be smaller than the original flagship, the OnePlus 2 could yet feature a similar 5.5 inch display.
Other features set to be introduced in the forthcoming device focus on the inclusion of a beefed up 3300mAh battery, nearly 10% more powerful than the OnePlus One. The device will also be getting StyleSwap back covers for users to customize its outer look while adjusting to changes in connectivity via the inclusion of a USB Type-C port. It is still unsure as to how much the device will be priced at; we believe it will be less than $450.
We will be giving you more insight on the OnePlus 2 as the device nears its launch.
