Pete Lau, the CEO of OnePlus, has gone on the record saying that the OnePlus One smartphone will cost less than $400!
After posting that the OnePlus One would cost less than $500 last week and being inundated by comments asking if that means the price would be $499, Pete Lau has gone on record about his companies first phone.
Gizchina News of the week
According to Pete, the OnePlus One will “definitely be available for under $400”that’s Xiaomi territory there, but for the OnePlus we are looking at availability outside of China! While this is great news, it still doesn’t give fans anything to go on. As it stands OnePlus have only confirmed their phone will support 4G LTE, will run CyanogenMod and cost less than $400. We still have no idea about the processor (likely a Qualcomm but which one), amount of RAM, screen size, resolution, camera etc!
OnePlus are an exciting brand, but how long can fans keep talking about a phone they have no idea about?

499 was a lill out of reach for me, but nw if its 399 or 349( never settle) u r having my attention and i think of atleast a million more ppl like me … just gv us wat u have promised and u have my money ….
A phone this cheap can’t be the best, with such price it’s almost certain they’ll choose some worse cpu instead of the top ones. With this information they’ve lost me as a potential customer. Of course if they manage to put some powerful soc in it with such price – I’m definitely going for it. It’s highly doubtable though 🙁
Nexus 5 has top-of-the-line SoC for its time, and it was priced at 350 USD (or even CAD if you are in Canada). Xiaomi Mi3 currently has the fastest CPU available on the market (Snapdragon 800-AB), and it’s priced at less than 450. I don’t think it’s all that far-fetched that OnePlus can pull something similar 🙂
Just showed your ignorance about the way most businesses are conducted. You really think that components for mobile phones cost a lot?! Hhahaa Marketing is what costs money.
Oh great another teaser! hahahah Apparently one thing Pete Lau.did like at Oppo! The teaser the hell out of it strategy!
is he read gizchina?
oh gosh, I LOL to this
Let’s push it a little bit more guys. It’ll probably be $399. Hopefully it’ll go down even more 😀 Definitely will buy even for $399 if the specs is good enough (probably better than my current S3 which is not that hard) and it looks better than the S5 (which is not that hard either)
Thought the would do an Ubuntu!
Really? What part of “software by Cyanogenmod” suggests Ubuntu in ANY way?
enough teasing already! let them publish some photos and specs!
