OnePlus 2 expected to cost $400 if it packs Snapdragon 810

Pete-Lau-OnePlus

OnePlus still hasn’t revealed many details for its upcoming OnePlus 2, but over on Chinese social network Weibo the company’s CEO Liu Zuohu (AKA Pete Lau) isn’t holding back. Chatting with fans on Thursday, he asked how much the company should charge if its next smartphone packs a Snapdragon 810 chip.

One fan suggested a price of around $400, which he didn’t balk at. Instead, he said “sounds reasonable,” which suggests the company might look at increasing the price of its next phone in order to deliver high-end parts.

Of course, that’s not as cheap as the original OnePlus One, which costs as little as $299 off-contract. We’re expecting the company to raise its prices at least a little bit though, as it continues to improve on the device and scale up in size. Thankfully, we may also get an even cheaper smartphone from OnePlus later this year as well.

As for the OnePlus 2, rumor has it the device will offer a sharper 5.5-inch display, a bigger battery and some kind of biometric scanner. The company recently confirmed that the upcoming phone will be sold on an invite system just like the original One. Hopefully it’s available in higher volume early on or even OnePlus’s biggest fans may turn to more readily available budget-friendly phones instead.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to
