TheOneus 2 will come straight to your face on ly 27. 

That’s because Oneus will broadcast its launch in virtual reality soon h out free viewers to those who sign up. 

The viewer design is based on Cardboard, an open-source blueprint for a cheap, virtual reality viewer that works with a smartphone.

st like the G4, last year’s Oneus One, the company is leaking out the details of its new phone one announcement at a time. First up was news the Oneus 2 will have the Snapdragon 810, with sufficient tweaks to mitigate any overheating issues. Oneus also says the device will have a B Type C port, which is gaining traction as the new stard for charging data transfer.

The story behind the story: The Oneus One was a decent phone, especially for the price, but it had its share of issues with bugs, terrible marketing missteps, a very frustrating invite-only sales system. For the Oneus 2 to gain traction, its parent company will need to show it’s grown up a bit. eting stunts are well good (except when they objectify women), but buyers want some trust that if they run into problems with the phone, a reputable company will be there to support them.
