OnePlus has already made a name for itself with its debut smartphone, and rumor has it the company is planning something special for its second-generation device that will help it better compete against giants like Samsung, HTC, and even Apple.

One of the features of the OnePlus Two, according to a new report, will be a fingerprint scanner. But not just any fingerprint scanner… a laser focus fingerprint scanner.

OnePlus doesn’t have a great track record at meeting deadlines, so you probably won’t be too surprised to hear its OxygenOS software has been delayed. As a result, the company has been forced to give away five 64GB One smartphones.

OnePlus may be painfully slow at bringing Lollipop to the One, but third-party developers are not. The popular device just got its first unofficial CyanogenMod 12 ROM, which is based on Google’s latest Android 5.1 firmware.

While Cyanogen and OnePlus have both confirmed a CyanogenMod 12 update for the One is on its way, it has been hit by a series of delays — and it looks like there will be yet another before users finally get their hands on Android 5.0.1.

Cyanogen this week confirmed the software is in its final testing stage, but it won’t be ready for its rollout for another “few weeks.”

OnePlus is lucky enough to have some incredibly passionate fans who love its debut smartphone, but the company’s apparent lack of urgency surrounding its Lollipop update is upsetting a lot of them.

Founder Carl Pei today confirmed that the long-awaited CyanogenMod 12S update is now delayed until March.
