OnePlus co-founder believes the OnePlus 2 can be as influential as the Galaxy S6, iPhone 6s, and HTC One M9

Yesterday, when OnePlus held an AMA (ask me anything) session on Reddit, Carl Pei, one of the company's co-founders, answered to a question about the next-generation OnePlus flagship smartphone.

According to Carl Pei, the handset is indeed called OnePlus 2, just as previously reported. Interestingly, Pei mentioned that he thinks the OnePlus 2 will be one of the four "really influential flagship smartphones this year", alongside Samsung's Galaxy S6, HTC's One M9, and Apple's iPhone 6s (of whatever the new iPhone will be called in the end).

While the OnePlus official didn't provide more details about the OnePlus 2, we heard that this would offer a 5.5-inch Quad HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) display, 4 GB of RAM, and an octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor. Moreover, the new smartphone should feature a metal chassis, possibly costing more than the first generation OnePlus handset (which can be bought for as low as $299).

Next month, OnePlus will announce a brand new device, but it looks like this is a drone, so the OnePlus 2 smartphone will probably be introduced sometime later. Are you waiting for it?
