OnePlus One Lollipop
OnePlus has started hyping up its upcoming
OnePlus 2
smartphone ahead of its release later this month and the company has
been putting out little teasers of assorted specifications and features
we can expect to see. Below we’ve recapped everything that OnePlus has
officially announced so far about the OnePlus 2.
As
far as baseline specs go, the OnePlus 2 is going to feature 4GB
of LPDDR4 RAM, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and a USB Type-C
port. Having 4GB of RAM on a smartphone vastly improves the device’s
ability to perform multiple tasks at once, including the ability to have
several graphics-intensive games running at the same time.
The
Snapdragon 810 processor, meanwhile, is well known to Android fans who
have bought new devices this year, although not for the best reasons.
The 810 was notorious in early days for overheating issues even though
it seems that Qualcomm and OEMs using the chipset have since managed to
get this issue under control. And of course, USB Type-C ports are
wonderfully useful because they let you use one port for a variety of
functions, including a device’s power, USB data transfer, HDMI and VGA
capabilities.
The
device will launch on July 27th and will be priced at under $450 off
contract, which is very impressive for a device with such high-end
specifications. Last year’s OnePlus One was similarly a marvel in that
it delivered cutting-edge specifications and an attractive overall
design at a mid-range price.
