Here's our breakdown of everything you need to know about the One Plus One.
Pros:
The One Plus One is an extremely customizable and out of the box phone possessing top-of-the-line specifications. This phone is pretty cheap compared to other similar smart phones and offers a fantastic display, great value for the money, and premium hardware quality. Also, its firmware can be easily customized depending on the requirements of the user.
Cons:
One of the most common disadvantages of the One Plus One is that it has a huge size, which makes it difficult to carry. It has no memory card slot either, so you have to live with the 16GB internal storage. Processor-intensive tasks involve minor stutters at times, and the battery cannot be removed by the user.
Specs:
The One Plus One is a unique smart phone based on the CyanogenMod model and packs up a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor which runs at around 2.5 Ghz. The model possesses approximately 3GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel Sony rear camera and a 5.5 inch display of 1080 pixels.
Talking Points:
Since the time of its launch, the One Plus One has become a global sensation due to its top-end feature set and unbelievably low price. Its excellent quality earned it a pretty flattering nickname - "flagship killer" - and it's known to be available in limited stocks via only one single online retailer. Is this limited stocks thing a genuine means of keeping the costs down or this is a marketing ploy? The answer is still uncertain but the excitement is bound to stay high regardless.
Prices:
The One Plus One is marketed at approximately $355, however, the prices may vary depending on the demand and market situation.
Conclusion:
Slick packaging and the adoption of a global brand entity is what the latest Chinese manufacturer for the One Plus One has actually done, in order to compete with the already established big companies in terms of the price. It's still uncertain how people will feel about the One Plus One, but it certainly represents an interesting and unconventional option for those tired of the endless churning out of cookie-cutter smartphones.
