Introducing the Second Generation of OnePlus Smartphone

OnePlus, the Chinese company, unveiled their second generation smartphone: OnePlus 2 in August 2015 with its new look. The company received positive reactions after the release and many experts stated that the new phone surpassed expectations.

Contrary to what the Tech World is used to, OnePlus’s announcement was different this year; the company manufactured some copies to users before its official release and got them to talk about the phone and their experiences during the official announcement.

What differentiates this phone is how light it is with a frame made from aluminum, magnesium, and stainless steel which led to a stylish design. Also, the back cover can easily be changed to different colors.

The slogan for this year was also: ‘Never Settle’ and the company is still on the path to produce a third generation phone in the second quarter of 2016 (June). The company aims through its slogan to promote an idea that: “you can buy a smartphone with high specifications and low price.” Some tech websites and magazines came up with a different slogan: “Compelling phone of 2016”.

Summary

The Arabian market had negative views about Chinese products, but lately they have become more acceptable of Chinese products. Similar to other products, the preferred smartphones from the majority of Arabs were American and Korean made. We recently can see that Arab users are becoming more willing to use Chinese phones after testing them.

The Chinese smartphones today are competing against American and Korean phones, even in European markets. In China, the company was successful in the manufacturing and production of smartphones and they became one of the top five most common phones in China.

What differentiate Chinese phones today are their innovations which are the global standard for success in the Tech World, especially in the smartphone industry.
