El OnePlus 2 is about to be presented. Next week we will know all the secrets of the new flagship of the Asian manufacturer. Rather, We will confirm all the rumors that have been appearing about him OnePlusTwo.
While we wait for the arrival of the new OnePlus titan, today we have to talk about the OnePlus One. And it is that the device that marked a before and after in the telephony market, earning itself thanks to its incredible value for money, has reaped overwhelming success: 1.5 million OnePlus One have been sold since its launch.
OnePlus has sold 1.5 million units of the OnePlus One since its launch
This figure, revealed by Carl Pei, CEO of the company, demonstrates the good health of the startup and the success of the OnePlus One due to its adjusted price taking into account its technical characteristics.
While it is true that this figure falls far short of the dtens of millions of units sold by large manufacturers, Keep in mind that OnePlus was founded in 2013 and that this was its first phone.
In addition, the sale of the OnePlus One was restricted since they did not know what the demand would be, initially they expected to sell 30.000 to 50.000 phones, and they couldn't keep up with the volume of requests for this powerful phone.
We will see how the sales of the OnePlus Two work because, although technically it is a true beast that can stand up to heavyweights like the Samsung Galaxy S6 or the LG G4, we must remember that, although the OnePlus One cost 299 euros, the new OnePlus 2 will fetch $ 450.
A price that can significantly reduce the sales of a device that has caused a great expectation but that could be stamped on sales due to the difference from its predecessor.
And it is that despite having aa QHD screen, a Snapdragon 810 processor and 4 GB of RAM memory, Keep in mind that the price of the OnePlus 2 exceeds the psychological barrier of 400 euros. And considering the difference in price compared to the previous model, it might not be able to sell as many units as the OnePlus One.
What do you think? Taking into account the more than confirmed technical characteristics of the OnePlus 2, will it have the success of its predecessor despite costing $ 150 more? Will the OnePlus team manage to correctly manage the sale of this device to avoid repeating mistakes of the past?
