The Snapdragon 801 Quad-Core processor unleashes a whole new amount of performance, a brilliant 5.5” 1080p immersive display that attracts your eyes delivering you with CyanogenMod 11S (based on Android KitKat 4.4.2).ย If you have been fortunate enough to grab one of the pieces, you might want to update OnePlus One to KitKat 4.4.3 using unofficial and experimental OmniROM.

The unofficial builds are available for the device byย graffixnycย at XDA forums.
