Never Settle! The OnePlus One Flagship Killer Is Here
After about a month of teasers and leaks, the OnePlus One is finally here! First things first though, check out their promo video above!
Pretty epic eh? Okay let’s talk about the phone. In terms of the design, the phone features a magnesium chassis that measure in at 152.9 x 75.9 x 8.9 mm and weighs just 162 grams. This definitely puts the OnePlus more so into the phablet category but for those who are used to the larger phones, it’ll definitely still be manageable. Here’s the full specs:
- 5.5″ 1080p Display
- 2.5GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 801 Processor
- 3GB RAM
- 16GB/64GB Internal Storage
- 13MP Sony Exmor Camera
- 5MP Front Facing Camera
- JBL Designed Stereo Speakers
- 3100 mAh Battery
- Powered by CyanogenMod OS
The specs definitely put this phone on par with other flagship devices but the specs aren’t necessarily what makes this phone a flagship killer, it’s the price – you may want to sit down for this. The OnePlus One will start at just $299 USD for the 16GB model and just $349 for the 64GB model! You read that right! Just a $299 starting price for a phone that could hold it’s own against any $700+ phone. The phone will come in Sandstone Black and Silk White and there will be interchangeable back covers that will be made of all sorts of materials including wood, kevlar, bamboo and denim.
Now before you start throwing your money at the screen there is some disappointing news in the midst of all this awesomeness. The OnePlus One will only be available for purchase through invite at launch. You’ll need to receive the direct invitation from the company, a friend with invites, or be a lucky winner of one their many contests. There’s no word on how long this process will be in place but lets hope it’s a pretty limited time frame.
So there you have it, that’s the OnePlus One. What do you guys think? Any of you planning on picking one up?
