Until now, we heard the OnePlus founde
only revealing the launch period of the
company's OnePlus 2 handset in Q3 of
this year. Now according to the latest
rumours, the smartphone is said to be
officially introduced in July.
The rumours, coming from Chinese
website MyDrivers (via Gizmochina), als
mention the price tag of the smartphon
as CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 20,600),
which is lower than the CNY 2,499
(roughly Rs. 25,000) price tag CEO Liu
Zuohu (aka Pete Lau) tipped last mont
However, the smartphone would still be
priced more than the current flagship
handset. However, if the new rumoured
price is anything to go by, OnePlus 2
might prove to be one of the cheapest
Snapdragon 810 processor-laden
smartphone in the market.
The report also says that another
smartphone with more powerful specs
can be launched before the end of this
year. Both the low price of the handset,
alongside a second smartphone being
due to be released later this year, goes i
line with previous reports that suggeste
both a top-end flagship and a cheap
version will be released this year.
Last month OnePlus One's successor
appeared in an alleged Chinese
benchmarking website, revealing a bun
of specifications. As per the benchmark
the smartphone is supposed to feature
Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor;
3GB of RAM; full-HD (1080x1920 pixels
display; 5-megapixel front camera, and
Adreno 430 GPU.
Contradicting previously leaked
specifications, the Chinese benchmark
website hinted at a 13-megapixel rear
camera on the OnePlus 2 , instead of a
16-megapixel camera. Some of the othe
rumoured specifications of the OnePlus
included a 3300mAh battery; 4G LTE;
GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Micro-USB and
OTG connectivity.
Earlier this month the firm also
announced that while OnePlus users
worldwide would be receiving Android 5
Lollipop-based CM 12.1 "soon"; the
update for OxygenOS with the same
Android build is currently on hold and
will be made available for the OnePlus
One only after the OnePlus 2 itself is
launched.
