Sources at OnePlus have told us that they have received prototypes of the OnePlus One smartphone and that feature requests will be frozen from tonight onwards.
OnePlus rose to stardom after core members of Oppo broke away to launch their own, no compromise phone. Since then OnePlus have partnered with CyanogenMod and opened a forum where fans can discuss the brand and request features for the first phone.
Gizchina News of the week
From tonight OnePlus will be freezing feature requests as the first prototype OnePlus One devices are now in testing. Details of the phone haven’t been announced but we do know that the phone will have 4G LTE support (and there are a few other features which we cannot mention just yet).
Also leaked by @evleaks is the packaging of the OnePlus One phone, and here is another photo of Steve from CyanogenMod looking very happy as he opens it (a GizChina exclusive).

Seriously, a package?! 😀 There even are no specs on it. How about showing us the phone?! The whole thing is better worth the hype and noise.
Have to agree, at least something would be nice
Are you in Barcelona?
Yes, they’ve been stringing out the teasing for too long.
At this point there is no reason to keep secrets. They’re not fooling the competition by holding back information, but they do risk alienating the customers.
If they’ve got production samples, then they should show some photos and list the obvious specs.
Andi, the box above looks very small as if 3.5 inches phone? BTW, does this leak mean anything to us, the readers?
Other than it is on the way and OnePlus want us to know about it, no not really.
If it gets either a Tegra K1 or Snapdragon 810 – I’m sold. I’m just sick of all these Snapdragon 800’s popping up everywhere, we need some more power! Come one OnePlus, don’t let us down!
The Snapdragon 801 is supposed to ship in April and the Snapdragon 805 in May. Qualcomm hasn’t even made an announcement about when the 810 will ship.
I too am tired of seeing new phones with the Snapdragon 800. It’s last year’s tech.
Small, seriously? That box looks huge! Hoping it’s around 5.5-5.7″ and that box looks like it could be 🙂
When is the likely release date?
