OnePlus One Battery
It is evident from the hardware and software specifications that the OnePlus One is a ‘no compromise’ smartphone which competes with all the top-end smartphones of 2014 such as Samsung Galaxy S5, Sony Xperia Z2 and HTC One M8 but is being offered at just half the price. The device will be available through an ‘invite only’ basis in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, UK and the US to contain the rush. The device availability starts from mid May.
Earlier, only Nexus smartphones were known for their price to performance ratio but if the OnePlus One performs as claimed, it will beat the Nexus line-up of smartphones.
