OnePlus has sold more than 1.5 million smartphones to date

Talking about the specs of the 2, OnePlus kill the rumours by letting the cat out of the bag a while ago by revealing most of the specs of their upcoming flagship. With the transparency of the Internet and user reviews, this entire equation is changing. These features of the device were confirmed by the sketches submitted to TENNA. Its debut got delayed a number of times to contend with a lot of issues.

The name itself is a giveaway but much more if the OnePlus One is put side-by-side with the Oppo Find 7 and the Oppo Find 7a smartphones to show the uncanny resemblance. We heard from a person familiar with OnePlus’ plans that it will be more expensive than the OnePlus One, which makes sense given the sequel’s hardware improvements.

In fact, the OnePlus One and the Oppo Find 7a have the same display size and resolution.

It will also pack a 13-megapixel photo snapper on the back, along with a 5-megapixel selfie camera in the front, but also a fingerprint scanner under the Home button. Buyers in India can visit online marketplace Amazon India to buy the OnePlus One. That kind of determination will be needed as the company readies is next smartphone, which will come with its own set of challenges this year.

Although we’re not sure if the OnePlus Two will have a microSD card slot for storage expansion (the OnePlus One doesn’t have one), the company’s CEO did confirm it’ll come with dual SIM card slots.

If you have the OnePlus One and you are looking forward to getting to test out the Android M Developer Preview on the device then be sure to keep up to date here, as well as the OnePlus forums as they will be updating their thread with the latest details on the project.

With its great economies of scale and features that can actually rival the flagship smartphones of big name handset makers, OnePlus One ushered something different in the very competitive smartphone market – innovation and excellence need not come with a high price. To refresh, OnePlus One smartphone was globally announced in April a year ago. And the rest is history.

Well, luckily there is the extensive unofficial market which is likely to see the OnePlus One being supported well beyond the launch of the OnePlus 2 and even well beyond Android 5.1.
