Will OnePlus’ new flagship killer have the same shine as the original?
OnePlus managed to disrupt the landscape of flagship smartphones last year (at least in the places where you could buy it) by offering a smartphone that had flagship-level specs at a lower price than most. While it wasn’t perfect (the invite system sucked terribly) the OnePlus One was a hit and have built a loyal user base for the company to build on.
Fast forward to this year, and the company’s follow-up device, the OnePlus Two, is hotly anticipated by fans of affordable flagships. While rumors of the device’s pricing has been floating around for a while, OnePlus CEO said on the company’s Google+ page that their next flagship won’t cost more than $450 (around 20K).
The new phone is pegged to be running an improved version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 processor, 4GB of RAM as well as a fingerprint sensor that the company says is “twice as fast as any iPhone”, as well as USB type-C.
The phone is set to be revealed later this month.
