The company delivered on its promise to move forward with the official unveiling on April 23. Here are all the details on the elusive phone made in partnership with CyanogenMod.
A 5.5-inch screen on a 5-inch body
Oneus crammed a 5.5-inch, 400 pixels-per-inch, 1080p display into a body the size of some of other flagship phones out on the market. Imagine if someone took the display on the Galaxy Note 2 just placed it over the chassis of a flat Sony Xperia Z1S—that seems to be the aesthetic Oneus was going for, anyway.
A processor that’s good enough
o needs the latest state-of-the-art processor when its predecessor is just as good? That’s what Oneus said when it first announced that it would pack its One phone with a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, it looks like it stuck to that philosophy. te u, the CEO of the company former vice president of Oppo, even wrote at length about the company’s decision to stick with the 800 instead of Qualcomm’s next-generation siblings, the 801 805. haven’t used the Oneus One to attest to its speediness, but the company promises that it provides the “best speed, battery consumption heat management.” But the real underlying reason for the phone’s last-generation SoC is because Oneus wanted to get the phone out without any roadblocks.
Cyanogen out of the box
st like the previously released special edition of the Oppo N1, the Oneus One flagship will have the custom Android ROM running right out of the box. It’ll feature tktktkktktkt.
13 megapixels to rival all the other megapixels
If you were planning on buying the phone today, you’re out of luck: Oneus stated that its slowly doling out the phones through an Invite System, supposedly to help solve “a problem” that the industry has. Invites are only available through friends who are already Oneus One owners contests, or for those who are active in the Oneus forums.
