OnePlus 2 release, specs news roundup: New promo features amazed fan; specs of flagship leaked by Oppomart

 Facebook/OnePlus

OnePlus takes great pride in its work, calling OnePlus 2 the "2016 flagship killer." The heavy-duty smartphone will be all dolled up and ready to dazzle on July 27 via a special Virtual Reality launch event. 

In preparation, OnePlus recently released another promo video that stars a fan who was dumbfounded by the OnePlus 2. He called it amazing twice, smiled all throughout and, still beaming, clapped to express his admiration for the device. The handset wasn't shown, however, and was even blurred out at one point in the video. 

The company, as the past weeks would prove, likes to keeps fans at the edge of their seats by keeping the specs of the upcoming device under wraps. However, online retailer Oppomart recently published a listing for the OnePlus 2 and, as one would expect, the full specs sheet was there. Interestingly, some details were actually different from some of the specs OnePlus has revealed over the past few weeks. 

OnePlus 2 was revealed to have dual-SIM support but Oppomart lists it having single SIM. Also, the site said the device will offer 3 GB RAM, although OnePlus already revealed the flagship as having 4 GB of RAM. 

The retailer did hit the mark with the 16-megapixel primary camera and 5-megapixel selfie shooter as well as the Snapdragon 810 2.1 chipset which OnePlus already confirmed. The takeaway is that the OnePlus 2 might be available in 16 GB and 64 GB flavors, with color options only limited to black and white. 

And although OnePlus has made it look like the OnePlus 2 will be smaller than its predecessor, the OnePlus One, Oppomart lists that the device will come with a sizeable 5.7-inch Quad HD display with a crisp 571 ppi pixel density.

The pricing, which was also promised by OnePlus to be under $450, is $499 on the site.
