[ OnePlus ]
that means 499$ ? )))
or $499.99 🙂
xiaomi mi3 and nubia z5s under $350
good design
good spec
good quality
there is many choices between $350-$499 smartphone
say it under $300 you have attention from the world
agreed
No space in the market for another wannabe premium brand.
Yes, it is better to make cheap knock-offs like thousands of other companys already to in China!
OnePlus do have the backing and manufacturing capabilities of the 2nd most profitable Chinese smartphone maker, so I think they can do well.
500 bucks for a flagship phone is hardly premium. It’s not that easy to find a brand new Samsung, HTC, or Sony phone with better than Snapdragon 800 chipset for less than 500.
processor will be Snapdragon 805 i think
