If you thought that Moto G is the best affordable Android Smartphone under a small budget or Nexus 5 being the best Android smartphone under $350, here is some good news that may break this conception. Today the Shenzhen-based company OnePlus launched OnePlus One and labelled them as “2014 Flagship Killer”. Looking at the device’s impressive specs and its pricing, it may turn out to be “2014 Flagship Killer”. But we should reserve that verdict unless we can get access to the physical device or wait for device reviews from top blogs.
OnePlus One sports quad-core 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, Adreno 330 GPU and 3GB of RAM. OnePlus One features JDI’s 5.5-inch 1080p IPS LCD panel along with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. In terms of operating System, the device is powered by CyanogenMod 11S based on Android 4.4 kitkat.
In terms of camera, it comes with a 13-megapixel f/2.0 camera (Sony Exmor IMX214 sensor with a 6-lens module and dual LED; 4K video; 720p slow-motion at 120 fps) and a 5-megapixel wide-angle front camera. The device is powered by 3,100mAh battery.
