Expected features of OnePlus Two:

Numerous reports have indicated that OnePlus Two will sport a 5.5-inch QHD (2,560x1,440p) display and inside, it is said to house the Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 810 SoC (System on Chip) backed by 4GB RAM, 64GB (expandable), 3,300mAh battery, 16mp camera on the rear-side and a 5mp snapper on the front.

Key aspect of OnePlus successor is that the company, after getting snubbed by Cyanogen (in India), it will be incorporating their in-house developer-community built Oxygen OS (based on Android 5.0 Lollipop). And it has also come to light that the company will be using metal, instead of polycarbonate to cover the rear side to make new phone look premium like tier-1 brand rivals, Samsung, Apple and HTC.
