There's yet another OnePlus phone coming this Christmas, Carl Pie

As the latest OxygenOS powered OnePlus 2 smartphone is all set to begin it's retail sales on 11 of this month, where they've already marked well over a million reservations for the invites within just three days from announcement and has even sold more than 1.5 million units of their first generation OnePlus One handsets, which should all be significant achievements for a phone maker, that's founded late in 2013.

With everything going so well for OnePlus and it's Co-Founder, Carl Pie, he sat down with USA TODAY in a recent interview and has revealed something exciting for all the OnePlus fans out there. According to the words of Pie, that the Chinese smartphone manufacturer will announce a second phone for this year, that should follow their newly announced OnePlus 2 before the end of December 2015, probably for the Christmas.

"There's going to be a second phone this year, before the end of the year. Hopefully for Christmas. It may or may not be (higher spec'd than the OnePlus 2). When I saw the prototype for that phone I was like 'holy s--- that's going to be my daily driver' but then when the OnePlus 2 production version came out it's also super nice, so its really hard to decide now what to use. It's going to be amazing, but today I'm not going to talk about it." When asked about the NFC issues, he added, "I think the entire issue of NFC is overblown. Very few people are using NFC, so we cut it. It's as simple as that. I know that Android Pay is coming but all that is in the future. It (NFC) is going to gain widespread adoption in stores 12-18 months from now. By that time people will have moved on to the next device."

Carl Pie even talked about their future, "In 5 years I think it will be Apple, OnePlus and Samsung because there's no more room in the market. Everyone else would've died because they couldn't reach the scale they wanted fast enough or they couldn't have a margin to sustain their business. Look at the soft drink space: there are only two players, Pepsi and Coke."
