| OnePlus One |
Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus successfully shook up the market when it released its first device - the OnePlus One - last year.
It offered high-end specs for a midrange price and made established global mobile manufacturers sit up and take notice.
So there's lots of breath being bated over the company's planned OnePlus Two device.
Nothing has been confirmed but rumours are sticking and looking pretty likely.
A major change is the Two will almost certainly support 4G on all UK networks.
The One was a no-go for many because it only worked on 4G bands used by EE and 3. But OnePlus has recognised its mistake and the Two will work on Vodafone and O2 as well.
It's thought the Two will stick with a 5.5" screen but the overall size will be smaller than the One, presumably by cutting down on bezel size. Could it even be a bezel-less design?
Also expect RAM to increase from 3GB to 4GB and the addition of a fingerprint scanner.
And the company is simplifying its method of "invitation selling".
Buying the One meant you had to hang around OnePlus forums or social media trying to get hold of an invitation to buy.
This time round, it will still be invitation-only, but they'll be easier to get. In fact, all you'll have to do it register your interest at the OnePlus website.
Why do this? Simple. It means OnePlus can virtually build-to-order, saving on expensive stock storage.
