Posted on by Michael Fisher

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 is one of the most controversial pieces of silicon in recent memory. The OnePlus Two is the imminent sequel to one of the best-reviewed smartphones of the past few years. And very soon the two will come together to produce one of the most anticipated products in mobile.Then it’s going to get trashed in the press, because it “overheats.” And then I’m going to roll my eyes so hard they get stuck.To be fair to the very smart folks who’ve written very smart articles on the subject, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 definitely ...

OnePlus calls the upcoming 2 the “2016 flagship killer”

Posted on by Anton D. Nagy

When OnePlus announced its first smartphone — fifteen months ago, on April 23 — the OnePlus One, the company called it the “2014 flagship killer”. The smartphone had eight months to prove whether that statement was right or wrong, and, the answer is really up to you. Regardless of whether you think it succeeded or not, OnePlus managed to create a real buzz on the market (not only because of its popular smartphone, but also because of the way it handled pre-orders, some marketing ...

OnePlus needs to tread carefully with pricing or defeat half the point of its phone

Posted on by Hayato Huseman

For being the first product coming from a small startup company with a vague history and questionable PR stunts, the One from OnePlus sold like crazy when it was made available last year. In the end, it turned out to be quite a good phone, but even before anyone knew how it performed, there were two main selling points that largely drove the OnePlus One to its viral success: its price and its specs. The market has grown ...

Flagship Android naming rumors: OnePlus, Samsung’s next Edge phone

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

We spend so much time talking about upcoming phone hardware, design choices, software, and launch plans, that it’s easy to take something very simple (yet still very important) for granted: a phone’s name. With companies that release flagships from the same families year after year, we can easily get comfortable and start making assumptions about how these devices will be branded – like how the next iPhone is more likely to be a 6s than a 7 – but that’s rarely a sure thing. Today we’re looking at new rumors about a couple models we’ve been talking about ...
