If you have a OnePlus One is lucky – all the others are likely to become indifferent shrug their shoulders at this topic. Rarely has there been at such a promising smartphone so many disappointments.


 
 

Open ticket sales before 2015

 
 

Reddit now answer Carl and David of OnePlus some questions, but a lot of good news there is not. First things first: This year there will be no more the OnePlus One free sale. The reservation and pre-order system that has annoyed and deterred many potential customers, continues to be the only way to get to a device.


 
 

Software update with voice activation

 
 

For the owner of a one but there will be a software update in October, which will bring, among other options for voice activation (“OK OnePlus”) with itself, similar to the Moto X (2014). How this will affect the battery time, but remains to be seen. In addition, to resolve problems with the touch screen and other bugs the update. At least three other surprises are also planned.


 
 

bamboo and other removable trays

 
 

Who was hoping for a change of shell, also had to practice patience and sacrifice in the last time. The coveted bamboo covers are still not to be had, as of Wednesday, October 01, but it should Sandstone-type cover for reordering. In October also want to announce how and if you come to one of the StyleSwap cover made of bamboo. This is surprising, but it had recently been called, the project change shell had been pulped.


 
 

OnePlus Two, Smart Watches, Tablets

 
 

a successor we must so soon but do not expect: A OnePlus Two is not expected until the second or third quarter of 2015 – if it still gives the company. For fans of smaller displays, there is a glimmer of hope: “We think about it,” Carl responds to a question from a user for a OnePlus with 4.7-5-inch display.


 
 

Smart Watches or tablet but it will not be in the near future probably. The market for wearables seems to OnePlus-makers not mature enough, and in the tablet sector, one can currently offer anything significantly better than the Nexus tablet.


 
 

A bit of self-criticism can be found in the interesting Reddit thread also. So Carl admits that at OnePlus things went wrong:

 
 


 

“It’s definitely not gone as planned, the demand was about thirty times as high as thought -. Now we try to catch our team wear just is not big enough to be this rush We meet new people like crazy one.. – in a few months we should have everything under control. ”
