OnePlus Two Smartphone Test Unit Appears in Contest Teaser

Finally, OnePlus Two has made its first appearance. As we all are aware that OnePlus has started a promotion(contest?) to promote OnePlus Two smartphone that might be launched by the end of this month. As a part of a promotion the company today has posted a photo on their facebook official page and gave a hint stating OnePlus Two engineer test unit is being pictured. Though we don't  get to see the device thanks to landscape mode placement but we can see the display. The display looks bigger covering most of the screen and also features slim bezels, may or may not feature on-screen buttons. Do note the company has mentioned this as engineer unit so it may vary design wise while it goes official. 



Thanks to a team of PhoneRadar we hear news about the launch date that is being scheduled on June 28th. The irony is that the contest that are presently going on will be ending in the third week of June( the company has just mentioned June). Companies Co-founder Carl Pei says that the OnePlus Two will also be made available via Invitation system but the number of invitations this time would be more than that of last time that sent out extremely limited number.

LG G4 Pro To Feature Metal Body

Back in May there were few reports that pointed to yet another high-end smartphone from LG that might be called as G4 Pro, and the device could be made out of Metal, unlike any other LG smartphone. When we say unlike the G4 Pro will be the first LG device to feature Metal construction. The news from ET reports that LG is in plans to design the G4 pro with Metal so that it can be easy differentiate it from normal G4 smartphone. That is made of plastic but has a good build quality though. People who work for LG has an idea to test the Metal G4 Pro as a prototype first and if everything goes well according, the device can be later released to the market that isn't a bad idea at all as LG has never tested its luck with metal.




However the problem comes with the production cost, rivals like Apple, Samsung are selling their smartphones that are made of Metal. LG is worried about the production cost that might decrease the profitability levels compared to Samsung and Apple, which are selling more number of units compared to LG. Valid point. Besides the build quality we expect the G4 pro to feature bigger display compared to normal G4, we have seen this scenario earlier with G2 and G2 pro where the G2 Pro featured a 5.9-inches display and might also have a stylus Pen so that it can compete with Samsung Note 5 which is due for this September. For now there is no official information from LG regarding the G4 Pro (may be something else) but we will let you know once its official.

The maps now display the distance between two points. Apple has taken a hint from Flipboard and made their app called The News. The app embeds videos and photo gallery that already present in the website while showing them.

Oppo Neo 5 and 5S Officially Launched

Oppo has officially launched the Neo 5 2015 edition and 5s and extended version of Neo 5 smartphone.

The S stands for the Snapdragon, powered by 410Soc clocked in at 1.2GHz Quad-Core processor with Adreno 306GPU that should be fine to handle all the graphical requirements. 1GB of Ram and 8GB of internal storage similar to Neo 5 and 8-megapixel rear, 2-megapixel front facing shooter are present. The only difference between these two smartphones is the lack of LTE capability in Neo 5 while the Neo 5s comes with local LTE support. The phones are built around a double-layer metallic structure, which results in a compact yet the sturdy body, but also helps with heat dissipation that should be fine for handling.
