Initial market will apparently include Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, though…
The OnePlus One, powered by CyanogenMod 11S and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor is a powerful smartphone at an affordable price, and a new video shows off the top 5 features of the device.

The earlier rumored Pantech Vega Iron 2 is now officially announced, and it’s rather amazing device despite lacking the Snapdragon 805 chip (as we’ve heard before).
