It is rare that a story we have to talk about three very different types of technology. In this case we will talk about how the OnePlus One has been transformed thanks to a 3D printer in a virtual reality helmet.

 The technology market is a sector that often you risk and successful, and which sometimes are missed very good ideas that can be viable and economic, by the thought of low demand you may have. For example the production of an accessory dedicated to a single device, often not commercially justifiable and never sees the light. Fortunately, thanks to 3D printers, the creation of custom objects and consumer tastes is getting cheaper and simple.

 René Meeh is an example of how a good idea can become a reality, since this person decided his OnePlus One, was the perfect place to be used as a virtual reality helmet smartphone. Therefore he decided to build their own virtual reality helmet.

 Meeh thought it would not make a single hull, but you would complete and advanced, so you can switch between alia focal length, meaning it is the right product for people who have vision problems. This helmet also does not cover the rear camera, so it is also ideal for augmented reality applications.

 To build this virtual reality helmet, René Meeh used a 3D printer called CTC is a Chinese clone of the MakerBot, two lenses, four bolts, a rubber band for fastening and a strip of foam.

 Thanks to the app “VR Player” which is available on Google Play Store, Meeh has also been able to use his helmet to watch a movie in virtual reality, and also be able to use voice commands thanks to hands free earphones and manage the different options through a Bluetooth command.

 If you have the means and the will to do it, you can download the plans to follow from this link, where all the elements needed are also detailed.

OnePlus Asian brand has decided to shelve the CyanogenMod operating system to make the move to Oxygen OS, an operating system developed by the same company. Therefore, OnePlus begin to incorporate into their smartphone your own Oxygen OS operating system. The new Oxygen OS (known as HydrogenOS in Asian countries) will be based on the version of Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system Android, and presumably its debut in the market of mobile telephony will be realized with the new OnePlus Two.

 Oxygen OS is more than just a layer of customization; is what is known as a ROM, and in absolute terms we could consider as an operating system. Oxygen OS assumes, first, removing all applications and all disposable accessories that brings factory installed Android OS (which includes all Google applications that are factory installed).

 Oxygen OS is also fully customizable, which means that each user can modify the appearance of the interface without necessarily relying on official designs used by each manufacturer. We talked about a similar layers Android customization concept, but improved and brought to reality in a more open manner.

 Precisely this was once the success of CyanogenMod, operating (or ROM) system which until now incorporated OnePlus standard on their smartphones (indeed, the OnePlus One was officially launched with a rear casing in which you could see the Cyanogen logo). Simple, open design, infinite customization possibilities, a fluent interface and active support from the developers have been the keys that have come true that Cyanogen has become one of the ROMs most used in regard to the customization of Android smartphones.

 But although Oxygen OS’s official, OnePlus told we have to wait until February 12 to learn more about this ROM.

 What is known about the OnePlus Two, the smartphone that also happen to OnePlus One likely incorporate Oxygen OS series? No official information, but rumors speak of a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels (what is known as Quad HD resolution), Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 4 gigabytes of RAM, Android 5.0 Lollipop version of the system Android operating a battery with 3300 mAh capacity and a price of 375 euros close to the exit.

 The date of submission of OnePlus Two is a complete mystery; although there seems no doubt that we talk about a smartphone that will be realized during the year 2015.

Like every day, another terminal that we bring is the Elephone G6, a clone of OnePlus One that has been very well received, as it has collected points as the design of top-end OnePlus, a set of bottom features, but for sale at a very low price compared to the original.

 The Elephone G6 talked a few weeks ago, just as the Chinese manufacturer announced during the month of August and September. Shortly after them officially started pre sales and in this case the list of shops where you can buy it we bring.

 Elephone G6, technical features and price

 In terms of design have very little to say, since Elephone G6 takes the appearance of OnePlus, though obviously with somewhat small, because this screen is a diagonal of 5 inches by 5.5 inches that has the OnePlus One.

 It is true that in this price range have a wide range of devices equally valid to this. But in the case of Elephone G6 worth mentioning that although it is a clone (but not at 1: 1), has a good relationship of technical features.

 If we make a brief review of the features, we see that Elephone G6 has a Mediatek MT6592, a rear chamber 13 megapixels, and a fingerprint reader fingerprint are the points to note with the design.

Elephone G6 has a reduced thickness of only 7.8 mm, and also features support for two SIM cards, OTG, microSD slot for memory expansion and Android 4.4 Kitkat.

The last hours have become a hotbed of comments on Xodiom, a smartphone with specifications up to the top terminal of the market (QHD screen, Snapdragon 805, 3GB of RAM, 16 megapixel cameras) and a price not exceeds 300 euros. As surprising is the proposal that even some suspect it could be a scam, is well or really are before the new revelation of the market as with OnePlus One?

 OnePlus One left us speechless few months ago. A smartphone that specifications should be around 600 euros, at a price of 269 euros . An expectation that despite going down over the weeks, continues to attract many users, who take advantage of periods in which it is possible to buy uninvited to pounce mass on the website of the Chinese company as occurred in recent Black Friday .

 Value unmatched

 PhoneArena has now revealed an even more amazing Alternatively, a Smartphone screen 5.5 inch Gorilla Glass 3 protected and QHD resolution (2,560 x 1,440 pixels to 534 dpi), stereo speakers, Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor with four cores  to 2, 7 GHz, Adreno 420 GPU, 3GB of RAM, 32/64 GB of internal storage expandable via microSD, 16-megapixel main camera (OIS features, autofocus and LED flash), 5 megapixel secondary camera, 3200 mAh battery, connectivity Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi 802.11 ac and LTE-A (multiple bands) and operating system with custom interface xodiom XOS  based on Android 5.0 Lollipop.

 It has everything, now almost any smartphone could cope, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Nexus 6 and little else. Most striking is its price from $ 329 (32GB version) and $ 379 if we want 64 GB of memory. All without invitation, with the only restriction of maximum 25 units per user and international availability . Now you can buy from their website, and shipments will begin in January.

 Suspected fraud

 Too good to be true . The proposal is so surprising that it does not become credible. The worst thing and this is where the greatest doubts are in the form of payment. You can only buy bitcoins and by bank transfer, so if the page closes in ten days, those who paid would be out smartphone without 300 euros. Time will tell what happens to Xodiom, if it is real, this is one of the most innovative products in recent times.
