The OnePlus One runs CyanogenMod 11S based on Android 4.4 KitKat. The company has worked closely with the ROM team to release a special minimal and flat UI. There are also a bunch of custom themes and icons specially made for the device.

OnePlus put a great deal of effort into the design of the One and its hows. The team chose magnesium for the build of the phone, as results the weight of the phone is only 162 grams. In fact, OnePlus claims this is the lightest 5.5" smartphone in the world.
