In line with our previous report, Chinese manufacturer OnePlus has launched the 16GB Silk White variant of its One smartphone in the Indian market. One can be purchased from Amazon.in at Rs 18,999.
This version of OnePlus One can quite easily be distinguished from its gray-
only kin of 64GB. However, the White model doesn’t have the sandstone finish like the gray one. Instead, the 16GB variant comes with plastic matte finish. OnePlus One is an impressive offering, that packs a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB RAM, a 13.97-cm (5.5-inch) 1080P display, a 13MP rear shooter with F2.0 aperture and Sony image sensor, a 5MP front camera, 3100mAh battery, 4G-support and and NFC. The smartphone runs CyanogenMod 11S, a customised version of Android developed by the Cyanogen team.
Given the fact that OnePlus is facing legal issues for using a CM build, the company has announced that it is coming up with its own version of Android OS. The build that OnePlus is developing will be based on Android Lollipop, the latest version of Android. OnePlus aims to release this new build for the Indian users next month.
At this price point, OnePlus One 16GB variant is likely to compete with Xiaomi Mi 4, whose 16GB variant costs Rs 19,999 in the Indian market. The 64GB unit of OnePlus One is available at Rs 21,999.
