OnePlus One | Probably The Best Android Smart Phone

OnePlus is going to introduce their first and spectacular Android smart phone in few hours, OnePlus One. What is special with this new company with only eleven people! OnePlus is a real tiny company and they are going to introduce a smart phone that will change the rules of the market and freak out Samsung and probably Apple (Apple will definitely find a way to sue them).
So what is so special with OnePlus One and why you should replace your iPhone, Samsung or Sony? OnePlus One is cheap; 16GB is $299 and 64GB is $349. And these prices will be the same in European market as well. You might be thinking, there are lots of Android smart phone cheaper than this but they are useless. 
And here comes to technical specification of the OnePlus One: 
  • Snapdragon 801 four-core 2.5GHz CPU and Adreone 330, 578 MHz GPU
  • 3GB DDR3 RAM running at 1866 MHz, this is more than iPhone 5S and Samsung Galaxy S5 and probably more than iPhone 6
  • 5.5-inch Gorilla Glass 3 touch screen, 1080p Full HD (1920 x 1080), 401 PPI
  • 3100 mAh battery
  • 13-megapixel Sony Exmor IMX214 with 6-lense f/2.0 camera and 4K video recording
  • Android 4.4 KitKat with CyanogenMod interface

No SD card slot and I love it! Because, it is silly and useless and collects dust. High quality materials are used and for all these technical specification and the design, you pay literally nothing. 
OnePlus One became so viral and definitely grab a huge Android market and people who are bored with iPhone conservative nearly four-year old design platform will shift to this smart phone.

Vertu Ti with Google Android

Vertu Ti, the Google Android powered Vertu phone. Many people were waiting for this phone. Unfortunately, the ties with the Nokia prevented Vertu to expand to Android market a bit late. However, late better than never! Vertu Ti model uses the Google Android operation system with a very competitive hardware configuration. 
During the Walpole British Luxury press day, I had chance to experience the Vertu Ti model. Ti is powered by a dual-core 1.7 GHz CPU with 1GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory. I really don’t know why but Vertu Ti offers memory card expansion slot. Honestly, I found the memory card expansion slot a bit unnecessary. Many people never use it and become an unused feature of the many mobile phones. However, memory expansion is a plus for marketing purposes! 
The body of the Vertu Ti is made from titanium, literally it is unbreakable and delivers a very solid feeling. Moreover, the touch screen of Vertu Ti is from sapphire. Unlike other many other brands, Vertu is not using the legendary Gorilla Glass brand for the touch screen. Instead of that, Vertu developed the touch screen from a very tough material, sapphire. Literally, you cannot scratch it!
Vertu Ti offers an excellent Android experience, which you will not regret it. Also the exquisite craftsmanship of Vertu creates a great experience. However, the only down side the pixel-per-inch value, 252ppi. Apple and Samsung increased the competition for PPI values and the numbers became so high, even the normal eyes cannot understand difference. Despite the relatively low PPI value of Vertu Ti, the speakers are made by Bang & Olufsen!
Vertu Ti is a pure luxury technology good. Ti may not be very competitive in some areas but in overall, there is no alterative to Vertu Ti in luxury mobile phone market.
