Possible OnePlus 2 gets benchmarked on GeekBench

by on21 May 2015


With Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC

While we already know that teh OnePlus 2 should arrive sometime during the third quarter of this year, what appears to be a prototype of the same smartphone has now been spotted at GeekBench.

Earlier last month, Peter Lau, CEO of OnePlus, has already hinted that OnePlus One successor will be most likely called the OnePlus 2 and will be coming in the third quarter of this year. While we knew that it was coming this is the first time that it has been spotted by Phonearena.com as a device that has been benchmark by GeekBench.

While the device is still listed as the OnePlus One, it has a different A2001 model name (the OnePlus One was A0001) and it runs on MSM8994 motherboard which is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 chipset and not the Snapdragon 801 SoC (MSM8974) which was the heart of the original OnePlus One.

Unfortunately, the Snapdragon 810 was capped at 1.55GHz so the benchmark score is irrelevant, but at least Geekbench correctly spots all eight-cores.

There haven't been a lot of rumors regarding OnePlus 2 smartphone, other than it will have 3GB of RAM, just like the OnePlus One. The tested prototype runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop OS and it is most likely that the finished product will launch with OnePlus' own Oxygen OS, and not Cyanogen OS as its predecessor.

According to known rumors, the OnePlus 2 should cost around US $400 which will put a lot of pressure on existing flagship smartphones, especially if OnePlus manage to deal with the availability issue which plagued the original at launch.
