This was phone so great that you could not buy it without an invite. This was some marketing one-on-one that simply works on tech guys. It made you want it more.

It did help that the phone was priced at $299 with a quite good specification. The successor is about to be launched on the 27th and the new phone should be called OnePlus 2. People expect it to be more expensive than $299.

Chinese wireless regulatory called Tenaa has got the first pictures of the device. The phone should have fingerprint reader and a camera that looks very much like the LG G4. The phone camera might come with laser focus, but we will have to wait four more days to know for sure.

The rest of the phone specification includes a Snapdragon 810 CPU SoC, 4GB RAM, a 3,300mAh battery, 13-megapixel back camera and dual SIM support. Insert your favorite Snapdragon 810 overheating joke here. Overheating in the real world means throttling when the phone gets hot, and throttling costs you performance. 

If you a math guru you should know that OnePlus 2 == 3.
