Oneplus One

After several weeks of information leakage regarding a device that could change the rules of the game in the smartphone market, its official release took place. The young company OnePlus, founded by the former head of OPPO, introduced the flagship smartphone OnePlus One, which has all chances to become a smartphone in 2014.

At once it is worth pointing to the main feature of OnePlus One - its cost. The novelty will go on sale at a price of $ 300 - an excellent offer, given the technical characteristics that this smartphone is endowed with. For these relatively small money you will get an uncompromising 5.5-inch device based on Snapdragon 801 with all the features inherent in the flagship Android smartphones from the largest OEMs. The only small drawback of the 300-dollar version of OnePlus One with 16 GB of memory on board is the lack of a slot for microSD cards. However, it is blocked by a version with 64 GB of internal memory, for which you will have to pay only $ 50 from above - other manufacturers usually give for such money no more than 32 GB of memory.

The first idea of ​​a premium phone based on the Android operating system was offered by Google. However, its Nexus 5, although it cost only $ 350, did not draw on several indicators, such as a battery and a camera. Earlier it was reported that Google was selling Nexus 5 at a loss, while comparable in characteristics Android-devices from other OEMs were almost twice as expensive. OnePlus in its turn offers a device with characteristics better than the Samsung Galaxy S5, but at almost twice the lower price.


The performance of OnePlus One can be safely put in one line with HTC One (M7 and M8), Xperia Z2 and iPhone 5. The smartphone has a very elegant and exquisite appearance with great attention to detail - for example, on the front of the phone there are no inscriptions or logos that can sometimes distract the user from the screen. In addition, due to the thin display frame 5.5-inch One slightly slightly larger than the size of Android-analogues with a diagonal of 5 inches, for example, Xperia Z2. Therefore, it should be convenient enough to use with one hand.
