OnePlus, a day after announcing the new permanent 50$ price cut for the One handset in Europe and the US, has given details on the upcoming Android 5.1 update for the 'One' smartphone. The firm has also confirmed the name of their new handset to be 'OnePlus 2', yes, the number 2 instead of "OnePlus Two".
Last month, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau, while talking to his Weibo followers about the smartphone tipped the price and nearly confirmed that the "OnePlus 2". It is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 SoC and some of the projected specifications imply that it would have a 5.5" LTPS LCD multi-touch display with 1080x1920 pixels resolution, Adreno 430 GPU, 3 GB RAM, 16 MP primary camera and 5 MP at rear. It would come with internal storage options of either 16 GB or 64 GB. We already know that the OnePlus One successor will be released in Q3 2015. Lau agreed with some of his followers who had suggested a price of CNY 2,499 (roughly Rs. 25,000).
It has also been announced that the OnePlus One users will be getting their Android 5.1 update soon, but the update for the OxygenOS with the same Android build is currently on hold and will be made available for the OnePlus One only after the OnePlus 2 itself is launched. According to the company, the team developing the OxygenOS is small and hence, they can't focus on the OxygenOS OTA update for the One handset.

Also, the firm said it is working on a fix for the touchscreen issues reported by few OnePlus One users. "Some of you have been experiencing touchscreen issues, we've gone through several iterations of the fix to make sure the solution works with the different panels we have, and eliminated some of the side effects we've seen like battery drain and mura effects. The last iteration is undergoing stringent testing, it's looking stable and promising. Both OxygenOS and CM will get the latest fix," said the OnePlus forum administrator.
