The OnePlus 2 has been quite the tease. The team's

The said chipset is a major market flop and is still suffering from severe overheating and throttling issues. However, the OnePlus team has promised that the model it has decided to use is a new version 2.1 and no longer suffers from the issues. We are willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, but some proof would definitely be nice. Today gives us a leaked AnTuTu benchmark score that allegedly shows the OnePlus 2 (A2001) using the new Snapdragon 810 to its full capacity.

The exact score is 63,719 points, which might just be the best performance we have seen from Qualcomm's current top of the line chip, even better than in the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro.

Keep in mind that AnTuTu is by no means a simple CPU benchmark and a lot of other hardware and software factors can affect the overall score. What most of us are really hoping for, is that the OnePlus 2 is free of nasty overheating problems, which could prove devastating for the success of the handset.

As for the rest of the OnePlus 2 specs sheet, we currently know that it will use a 5.7-inch screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels and 515 ppi density. The camera setup consists of a 16MP main camera with a Sony Exmor IMX 234 senor and a 5MP front-facing one. The manufacturer confirmed 4GB of LPDD4 RAM and include dual SIM support, too.

Not long left now until the grand VR announcement which will clear the remaining…

Humble Bundle has released a new bundle for Android, and this time it features some classic titles from the old Neo Geo console to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Neo Geo is an old Japanese arcade and home console system released back in 1990. It may not be as popular as something like the Atari or SEGA arcades but has some popular titles and a fan following.

If you have an Android device you can now play those games on your phone or tablet.

The Huawei Honor 7 – which was made official late last month and is currently only available in China – is now available for order internationally thanks to Oppomart.

The online retailer is selling the 16GB variant of the handset for $429 (excluding shipping charges), up from its usual price of $320. It's also worth mentioning that the model supports LTE band 1 and band 3, which means that it isn't compatible with LTE networks in North America.

This comes just a few days after Huawei confirmed that it's getting ready to sell the Honor 7 in European markets.
