With the launch of Moto’s budget series phones, the smart phone markets are set to follow the new benchmarks. Taking from yesterdays Moto e to today’s Xiaomi Mi3, smart phones started out into markets with top notch specifications and low prices.
Google seems like quickly adapted the pace of the mobile phone market in India from the markets stats of the past few months. It come up with a new budget beast smart phone, the OnePlus One with new industry standards like ultra high resolution screen, 3GB RAM, CyanogenMod OS and lot more exciting specifications.
Let’s take a look at the technical specifications of the device and see if it can stand out in the ring of royal rumble battle.
The handset is of 152.9mm long and 75.9mm wide with 8.9mm thickness that can easily fit into an average human hand.
It weighs 162g i.e., 17g heavier than the Xiaomi Mi3 and 13g heavier than LG G3. I hope this average of 15g is not an issue when you see the price of OnePlus One.
The Low Temperature Ploy Silicon(LTPS) IPS display with Touch On Lens(TOL) technology makes the screen thinner, brighter and cooler.
‘One’ comes with 16GB and 64GB internal memory variants along with the external eMMC support.
The front camera is amazingly 5Mp one that can take distortion free images and HD video there by giving a definition for video calling.
The camera is my favorite part of the device and astonishingly it throws back LG G3 in the race.
So I’ll give 4.5/5.0

User expressed their views about OnePlus One on internet differently. Some liked the CyanogenMod UI where as some hated the loud speaker. Some said it’s a flagship killer where as some said it is not. Overall OnePlus One was given 4.2/5 for tits amazing specs and price it is available for.Verdict
What else can you expect from a device under $300 i.e., 20k rupees? It have dominating specs compared to latest LG G3, Xiaomi Mi3. So the price of about 18k-20k seems the right value for its trade. Google have really set some benchmarks in the industry again.So I’ll give 4.5/5.0
