Google Cardboard app for OnePlus 2 launch now available

July 27th is just around the corner and for us geeks that can only mean one thing. We are about to see the launch of the highly anticipated OnePlus Two, a device that, like its predecessor, should challenge industry standards and offer an amazingly powerful smartphone at an incredibly low price.

We are all desperately awaiting the day we get to see the OnePlus 2. The interesting part is that we will all get to experience the launch in a completely different way. The Chinese startup is live-streaming the launch in 360-degree VR (virtual reality). This means you will be able to see the announcement the way we usually do, right in front of the stage (who knows, maybe even on it).

It’s a very interesting type of launch no other major manufacturer has attempted before. Want in on the action? You can start getting ready now by downloading the official OnePlus 2 Launch app, which has just become available.

Don’t have a VR headset yet? Remember there are plenty of options out there. Even free ones, so there’s really no excuse.

Just as a reminder, the OnePlus 2 launch is taking place this Monday, July 27th at 7:00 PM PST. Get your headsets ready and keep it tuned to Android Authority this Monday for all your glorious OnePlus 2 content. You can be sure we will be here giving you all the details… or whatever there is left to know.
