The OnePlus 2 has a 5.5″ display (1920 x 1080), an octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor and 3GB (16GB model) or 4GB (64GB model) of RAM. Invitees will be able to purchase it for £200 ($310).
Portrait Displays is providing its Chroma Tune colour-control software for MSI‘s newest Prestige notebooks, as well as its Gaming and Workstation series models.
