The OnePlus One generally hasn’t suffered from a lack of popularity, and the device is actually one of the hottest talks of the Android world. And yet, it can never hurt to get a little extra promotion, and what better way to do that than a free giveaway? TNW Deals have announced that they’re giving one lucky user a chance to win a free OnePlus One by entering their contest, and the deal has already been getting a lot of attention all over the web. Those who want a chance to win the phone should prepare to go up against quite a lot of people at this point, but considering there’s nothing to lose, it only makes sense to join.
The device is one of the most powerful phones on the Android market at the moment, coming with a 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, 3 GB of RAM and a dedicated graphics processor. Its 5.5 inch display is running at a full HD 1080p resolution, giving crystal clear picture quality and an excellent response time.
On the back, the phone has a 13 megapixel camera and a stylish cover that hides a 3,100 mAh battery, more than enough to keep all of those powerful components charged for at least a full day of regular use. The phone has actually been getting quite a lot of positive comments about its battery life, with some reviewers expressing outright surprise that something with such powerful hardware can last for so long on a full charge.
And considering how popular the phone is, it’s no wonder that people are already asking for a successor. There have been lots of rumors about a possible OnePlus Two, and now the device has been officially confirmed to be planned for a July 2015 launch. It’s not known exactly what kinds of specifications the new phone will have, but it seems that the company is taking a cautious approach.
They’ve grown significantly since the launch of the OnePlus One, and according to Carl Pei, the company’s founder, they’re being careful not to get in over their heads with their newfound popularity and production capabilities. This is a bit of a vague statement, but it still gives a few hints about what to expect from the next phone – it will likely be an upgrade of the OnePlus One, but may not introduce any serious changes in terms of hardware or software. The company may choose to tread lightly with this release and just rely on an already established platform that has been proven to work. And considering that most people seem to want exactly that, an upgraded OnePlus One, it would be a smart move to release a device like that.
