Sketches of the OnePlus Two surface

OnePlus’ next flagship device, the OnePlus Two, is set to make its debut real soon. And while we know it’ll reportedly have a metal build and fingerprint scanner, not much is known about the device’s design. Business Insider was able to get their hands on leaked sketches of the smartphone. One of it shows the stainless steel bottom portion, USB Type C connector, dual lens camera, and the fingerprint sensor. It looks rather similar to the OnePlus One so it would seem they focused more on upping the specs and boosting marketing for this one.

OnePlus claims fingerprint scanner on new device will be ‘faster than Touch ID’

When it comes to the accuracy of fingerprint scanners on smartphones, Apple’s Touch ID is still top-notch. Upstart OnePlus claims its upcoming OnePlus 2 device will have a fingerprint scanner that’ll be “faster than Touch ID.” They aren’t releasing specifics yet on what fingerprint scanner they’re using.

Some have speculated that they might use Qualcomm’s Sense ID scanner technology. Sense ID makes use of ultrasonic waves to penetrate the outer layers of the sin. It doesn’t just get a detailed 3D image of your fingerprint; it also takes note of your sweat pores and ridge flow. Again, this is speculation at this point. What we do know is OnePlus has to meet high expectations with its new device. It’ll be unveiled on July 27.

OnePlus teases June 1st announcement of their "Two" flagship

At long last, OnePlus is finally shedding some light on their next sure-fire hit, the Two flagship. Oppo (makers of the OnePlus) has set the launch to Q3 of this year and will offer the same invite-only availability guidelines.

In true new media form, OnePlus took to Twitter to tease us at the aforementioned announcement is sooner than we think. Along with the not-so-subtle "it's time for change" verbiage, OnePlus announced that they are “always looking for ways to shake up the tech industry” and posted an image of what could be its forthcoming device.

While the details are sparse, OnePlus says that the official availability announcement will come on June 1st.

Leaked screenshots of OnePlus OxygenOS surface

If you've been wondering what the new Android ROM from OnePlus looks like, some leaks have surfaced online. GizmoChina got their hands on the screenshots and it shows how the platform seems to have adopted the flat, colorful design of Lollipop. The screenshots seem to show the weather app, which keeps things simple with temperature displayed on top of background images. There aren't that many screenshots yet so we can't see yet what OnePlus plans to do with the rest of the Android ROM.
