OnePlus 2 Release Date, Specs News: Purported Device to Arrive With Metallic Design

OnePlus Co-Founder Carl Pei revealed that his tech company is now preparing to enter into a new smartphone product category next month and has plans on "revamping the design" for the next OnePlus reiteration.

A report from Business Insider cited a source who claims to have knowledge with the issue saying that the Chinese company will be handing out a new look to its well-received mobile device.

As detailed out, the next-gen OnePlus phone will likely to sport a metal frame, consequently replacing the polycarbonate wrappings of their 2014 flagship.

The premium styling, according to the source, would also eventually make the OnePlus 2 arrive with a higher than expected price tag.

Launched in April, the first OnePlus phone series kicked off for $300 for its 16GB model. Phone Arena meanwhile speculates that the pricing will likely to remain a lot cheaper when compared to any of the giant flagship brands like Apple with their iPhones and Samsung with their Galaxy Ss.

The site however, noted that the redesigning plans are yet to be finalized.

Pei informed NDTV Gadgets about the future of the company now that it has already gained traction in an ever-competitive technology market.

"For our first year, we've focused on just one product, the OnePlus One. Next year, we're looking into experimenting with different types of form factors and different types of products," Pei said.

As for the OnePlus Two release date, Pei previously told the media that the device can be expected to be unveiled in "Q2 or Q3 of 2015."
