OnePlus 2 has been listed on Oppomart, ahead of the official July 27 launch which will take place via virtual reality, a first for any flagship smartphone.
The listing reveals that the OnePlus 2 will have a 16 mp SONY Exmor IMX234 sensor and dual LED flash. The price of the OnePlus 2 is listed as $449. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau had promised that the OnePlus 2 will not cost more than $450, though it’s not sure if this will be the final price.
According to OnePlus, “LPDDR4 will give twice the bandwidth performance as the LPDDR3. The RAM of the OnePlus 2 uses a lower operating voltage than its predecessor, decreasing from 1.2V to 1.1V. And with speeds up to 32 GB/s, it is also twice as fast as the LPDDR3.” The company added that the 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor uses all the 4GB RAM “to its maximum potential.”
The OnePlus 2 will come with the Snapdragon 810 chip specifically engineered for the phone and a Type C-USB port. The Type C-USB port supports various new USB standards like USB 3.1, USB power delivery (USB PD), HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA with adapters.
OnePlus says that the Qualcomm has fixed the heating issues on Snapdragon 810 SoC for the OnePlus 2 smartphone.
