| One Plus One |
The mobile market is going through a storm where all the companies are
trying to give value for money phones, to do so they are offering huge amount
of features at the lowest cost possible, “Aggressive pricing” as it is called
by the “mobile pandits”. After the likes of nexus 4, nexus 5 and the moto g
being highly successful we now have a new entrant to the mobile world.
“Taaliyo ke sang swagat kiya jae”, One Plus One ka. The One Plus One is
not a particularly slim or light phone, but then neither it is a brick. The
phone has a 5.5 inch display which is built quite nicely and gives great
viewing experience. The phone feels nice to hold, however it does feel big at
times. One of the most unique thing about the phone is its back, which has a
sand stone finish to it and provides superior grip to the device.

The Modern multi-core processors in the phone is capable of running the
latest operating systems, multitasking, 3D gaming, HD video and more without
breaking a sweat. It has the a 2.5 Ghz processor and the most “mazedar” thing
is that the Samsung S5 has the same processing chip in it. The other key
feature of the OnePlus One is its operating system. CyanogenMod is all about
giving the power of customisation to the end user rather than forcing them to
put up with excessive bloatware and a restrictive interface. The OnePlus One is
the first ever phone to ship with CyanogenMod as the default OS.
The phone has a 13Mp back camera that takes good images both in well light and low light conditions. When you look at other top notch phones the images are not that good but looking at the price the device image quality is more than average.
