OnePlus One’s battery will be 3,100mAh, but with a catch; “mystery tech” teased
It’s a bit frustrating to get bits and pieces here and there about an exciting new phone, but that’s what we’ve been forced to deal with when it comes to the OnePlus One. Last we heard, the device would be coming with the trusty old Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.3GHz. It’s a quad-core SoC that delivers great performance and very respectable battery life.
And now we have first details about the battery. OnePlus has announced that the OnePlus One’s battery will have 3,100mAh in terms of capacity. We don’t know which technology they’re using, but we imagine it doesn’t make much of a difference to the end-user either way. We do know that the battery is not removable, though, which could make the OnePlus One a deal breaker for some.
For what it’s worth, OnePlus says their decision to make the battery non-removable was tough, but not without its reasons. They say a removable battery would have meant needing to design the OnePlus One with a protective layer for the motherboard, which would force them to limit the battery size to around 2,500mAh. They feel the trade-off to get to 3,100mAh will be worth it, though, as they’ll be working with the CyanogenMod team to optimize the device as much as they can.
The company’s front-runner Pete Lau ended the post teasing some sort of “mystery tech” that will “enhance and boost the user experience,” though they predictably left it with a cliffhanger ending and told us to stay tuned. Stay tuned, we shall.

Download these “All New HTC One” wallpapers and sounds (and watch the latest teaser video)
Hope you stamped your ticket for this All New HTC One hype train, because it’s about to be full steam ahead with the launch of the 2014 flagship looming. HTC has released another Technical Translations video, this time “not-telling” us about the next generation camera mounted onto the back of this thing.
Of course, we should be saying “cameras,” as this device will have two rear sensors (which rumors say is for facilitating a new technique for post-snapshot focusing).
The whacky video is above, and there are no surprises — they mention the all new HTC One in passing, but don’t actually reveal any details about the thing. We’ll have to wait until March 25th for all of that (though we learned over the weekend that there would be a cool flip case available for the device).
In the meantime, we do get some actual, tangible goods from the all new HTC One itself. An XDA forum-goer has managed to get their hands on a pack of wallpapers and sounds from the all new HTC One, so you can get a small taste of what the device might feel like once it’s actually in your hands a bit later this year.
You can find 8 of our favorites from the package in the gallery above, though that’s only scratching the surface of the 18-file collection. You can download all the wallpapers with this convenient download right here.
As for the sounds, all of them can be had in this 25MB package right here. Simply copy all the files and folders from the package to system/media/audio and merge them with all the other audio your device already provides.
