Ex OPPO executive starts OnePlus to make the perfect smartphone

Former OPPO vice president Pete Lau resigned from the Chinese based manufacturer last month. Now, Lau has resurfaced with talk about a new company called OnePlus that he will help build. Sounding like Jurassic Park's John Hammond, Lau says that he will "spare no expense" building the "perfect smartphone". Lau added that he will develop the best smartphone for users across the globe. And guess what? OPPO will reportedly build it.

Lau has put up a forum site which you can access by clicking on the sourcelink. He says that he wants to know the crowd's opinion on what the phone's specs should read like. AMOLED or IPS? Snapdragon 8974AB or 8974AC CPU? Lau also wants your opinion on external memory and battery life along with other important input. Head over to the forum and give Lau the information he seeks, namely, what would a smartphone need to have for you to consider it perfect.
