Today, OnePlus finally announced the OnePlus 2. If you didn’t watch the first ever virtual reality product launch, well, here’s a recap.

Needless to say, due to the high end hardware for the low price and the invite system that caused a proud community to be created, the OnePlus One was the hottest phone of 2014.

Note that I said that the Snapdragon 810 won’t help in the title. I stand by that.
