Or is it just a marketing ploy?

The pricing is great.

quote:


OnePlus, the startup founded by former Oppo VP Pete Lau, has unveiled its first smartphone, the OnePlus One. It's a powerful effort, with a 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, a 5.5-inch 1080p display, 3GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel f/2 camera unit, and bottom-facing stereo speakers designed with assistance from JBL. It runs a minimalist custom UI atop CyanogenMod, the modified version of Android breaking out as an operating system in its own right.


For $299, with a 64MB version for $349.

I'm not biting (I like my Nexus 5), but this is intriguing.

It is a little big for my tastes, but I really want it. Too bad I'm on Verizon. I will have to wait for the next moto x.

Battery life?

Companies like to throw a kitchen sink of features into their phone to make it the next iPhone/Samsung killer, but all they end up doing is killing their battery.

Is this one of those giant laptop phones? If it's a reasonable size, I'd be interested.
