OnePlus just announced the OnePlue 2, successor for last year's renowned super value flagship - OnePlus One.
If you're not familiar with OnePlus, the smartphone company was founded in December 2013 by former Oppo VPs. The company's main goal was to design a smartphone that comes with high-end quality but at much affordable price range.
OnePlus One was the first phone unveiled by the company as a "flagship killer" due to high performance at low price strategy.
