Looks like Maxis will exclusively continue to bring the Shenzen phones to Malaysia, it will be interesting to see how the operator will be dishing out this time around for the invite only smartphones, the OnePlus One was only open to MaxisOne customers wonder if they will change the strategy this time, haven’t seen many of my Maxis user friend carrying the devices. However, despite the young company making the Oxygen OS based Android phones available through invitation and recommendations, the key combination of being lowly priced and feature rich is gaining popularity outside China in places like Europe and India as many users jump straight to mobile phones over PC or laptops.
The newly minted OnePlus 2 dubbed the 2016 FlagShip Killer is built on a powerful 64-bit architecture, using Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor which is usually found in premium models is paired with the Adreno 430 GPU allowing intensive 3D games possible and demanding apps a no issue. It also has 4G LPDDR RAM and a 64GB eMMC 5.0 storage, camera wise 13MP with 6 lenses that reduces distortion and colour aberration you wont have any complaints for now and with f/2.0 double LED flash, you cant blame the tool anymore for your poor shots.
Display on this candy bar is at 5.5-inch with1080p full high definition 401 PPI which means you cant see pixels on your naked-eye, for protection you guessed it Corning Gorilla Glass is there for the oops moments, and for those who have two phone lines…do not fret the OnePlus Two comes with twin nano sim slots.
Pricing in the US is at $329, in Hong Kong it starts at HK2399. In Malaysia, Maxis sold the OnePlus One at RM1199 and they should offer around the similar region, looking at how the other countries have listed their price. But there is this small issue to contend with on how our Ringgit has depreciated about 30%, how much of an impact will it have?
Nevertheless, they will have to circumvent this and still be able to go to market at RM1200 if OnePlus wants to make a difference in the ever so crowded mid-range market.
