OnePlus made a name in the market last year with its flagship killer, the OnePlus One. But recently, the Chinese manufacturer had severed its ties with Cyanogen, the OS used by OnePlus One, completely. And with the upcoming release of the next flagship killer, OnePlus Two which will be this 2015, the question is, will it run in OnePlus' own Oxygen OS?

It was recently reported that OnePlus had developed its own Operating System. The reason behind is that it will be easier to manage and troubleshoot problems if they have their own software. So the company had severed its ties with its original partner, Cyanogen. Other reports would say that both companies had different goals for the device, thus the fallout happened. So this would leave OnePlus Two to go with Oxygen OS.

OnePlus Two needs to come out with an exceptional design and better hardware specs in order to survive the competition in the market since it will be released in time with the Samsung Galaxy S6, LG G4, and perhaps Apple's next iPhone. There are no confirmations from the Chinese manufacturer with regards to the difference between the OnePlus Two and its predecessor, but rest assured, OnePlus knows better than to not up their smart phone's performance.

OnePlus Two is said to sport a 5.5 inch Quad HD display and will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 810 chipset (similar to that used by Samsung) and a more than enough 4 GB RAM. The next flag ship killer will has a 3300 mAh battery which is not removable. There will also be no microSD support according to some reports.

The OnePlus Two will also be housed in an all metal casing. So with the introduction of this new framework, the price of the device will certainly increase, but not to the point of reaching its competitors average pricing. With thus, OnePlus will still prove to be wallet friendly with a price of $435.

The OxygenOS powered OnePlus Two is expected to arrive in the market sometime in July to September. And like its previous strategy with the predecessor, the OnePlus Two will still be released with an Invite-Only strategy
