OnePlus have gone and turned the tables once more as they have just announced the OnePlus One flagship will have 3GB RAM and a Snapdragon 801 processor!
Originally announced as a Snapdragon 800 phone with 2GB RAM, the OnePlus One has now been updated to boast 3GB RAM and a 2.5Ghz Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC processor!
Earlier this year OnePlus announced that their first phone, the OnePlus One would have a Snapdragon 800 chip as it offered the best performance and would allow the One to launch sooner rather than later. Now Pete Lao, CEO at OnePlus, has cited that a strong relationship with Qualcomm has allowed the team to update the processor and performance to the faster 2.5Ghz 801 with faster 578Mhz GPU.

While updating the chipset would have been enough of a newsflash by itself, OnePlus have also taken the opportunity to update the phone to 3GB RAM.
These new updates bring the OnePlus One specifications to sit nicely between the Oppo Find 7a with 2GB RAM and the Find 7 with 3GB RAM but 2k display.
OnePlus will officially launch the OnePlus One at an event held in Beijing on 23rd April 2014.

Never Settle indeed 🙂 I hope Never Settle won’t turn into never available in the end though…
Ok now its settled. Im going to buy this beauty. Hopefully Oneplus will release the same phone everywhere, not a TD-SCDMA crap before the main release
Just take my money Oneplus
Well. I do think they planned this from the beginning. Switching the processor from AB to AC version isn’t that big of a change (it’s pin compatible) but adding memory is harder. I suspect that they planned this all along.
Ridiculous marketing bullshit!
I’d be surprised if production hadn’t already started. More likely this has been happening behind the scenes for a while and have only now announced it because it’s gone into production so they have the stock of SoC’s required. I for one am now very interested in this phone.
