Rumored OnePlus Two Render Image Shows Metal Build

Liu Zuohu announced not too long ago that the upcoming OnePlus Two is coming with a full metal build. Recently, a render of the new smartphone leaked on Weibo showing the back of the device, and it seems like the rumor is true. However, nothing can be confirmed before there is an official statement or the final product has been released.

From the leaked image, one thing that is noticeable is how thin the device is. The predecessor, OnePlus One is measured at 8.9mm and it seems like OnePlus Two will be thinner than that if seen from the image. The top and the bottom of the device seems to be made from plastic which is probably where they put the antenna reception while the back of the device seems to be slightly curved just like OnePlus One. The slightly curved OnePlus Two make it easier to grab while holding the device however, when it is put on top of the table, it will be a little bit shaky, which is not so convenient when using it to play game.

OnePlus Two will also coming with a fingerprint reader which most probably going to be integrated in the home button.  In the previously leaked image draft of OnePlus Two, it seems like there will be a dual-camera setup on the back; however, this arrangement is missing from this leaked image, instead it is showing a single sensor camera with a dual-LED flash.

OnePlus Two will be announced in the virtual reality launch event on 27 July 2015.

OnePlus 2 Smartphone Confirmed to Come with USB Type-C Port

Google made an announcement in its annual developer conference that USB Type-C would be the standard for Android devices in the future. Why USB Type-C? It is because the port is smaller, able to support reversible charging as well as it is more convenient than the current MicroUSB ports which we have in our device nowadays. On top of that, the data transfer will also be faster, up to 10Gbps, with USB Type-C port.

OnePlus announced recently that its flagship product OnePlus 2 is going to feature USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer. If the rumor deemed to be true, that means that OnePlus 2 will be the first smartphone which will come with the new USB port. Apart from the new USB Type-C port, the device is rumored to run on Snapdragon 810 version 2.1 processor,  13 MP rear camera and will be priced higher than the rumored $322 price tag previously.

Apart from OnePlus 2, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is rumored to come with USB Type-C port as well, on top of the rumor that the device will come pre-installed with Google’s latest OS, Android M. Apple’s latest MacBook Air which was launched recently, also comes with USB-C port. It seems like Apple and Google are using the same USB standard now, which is a good thing.

OnePlus One has been launched in India on 2nd of this month and the company has officially confirmed that its successor OnePlus Two will be launched before September of 2015. As OnePlus Global’s director Carl Pei told BGR India:

Already many rumors about the upcoming OnePlus Two smartphone are floating around. One such rumor says it would have a smaller display but be a bit more pricy than the OnePlus One, but still cheaper than other similar Android phones.

No concrete details about its specs are available as yet but a source has told Business Insider that OnePlus Two would “probably be more customizable” and have “some surprises in store” with respect to its hardware.

OnePlus One is powered by CyanogenMod 11S but Cyanogen has now tied up with Micromax to exclusively supply software to its “Yu” brand of devices. However, OnePlus has assured its customers that it has assembled its own software team to develop something on its own as soon as possible.
