New OnePlus Benchmarked?

The OnePlus 2 looks set to arrive, thanks to the numerous fans who are eager to see this sequel to a very good smartphone. The thing about the OnePlus 2 is, there is no exact release date attached to it just yet – although it does look as though there will be something positive that is set to happen in the third quarter of the year, at least according to the CEO of the company, Pete Lau. Having said that, what you see above happens to be pulled from a Geekbench page, where the specifications do seem to point it to the very real possibility of it being a OnePlus 2 prototype.

Most folks would see Geekbench pointing out this device as the OnePlus One, but do bear in mind that the model number is very different. The actual OnePlus One comes with the model name A0001, whereas this particular model would carry the model name of A2001. Apart from that, the MSM8994 board listed does point to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 chipset, which has been rumored all this while to be part of the OnePlus 2. As for its predecessor, that ran on the Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974).

In addition, it does look like the OnePlus 2, or whatever this handset is going to be called, will have 3GB RAM, just like the OnePlus One. Disappointing to some, perhaps, but there is hope that a change could happen at launch since this is but a prototype at point of publishing. All that we have to do now is sit tight and wait.
