On: OnePlus One – $299 CyanogenMod 'killer' smartphone

[pja]

The single thing that really stands out for me in the pricing:

    16G $299
    64G $349

$50 for 64G of high quality flash memory at retail price actually sounds reasonable!

It is nice, but it is 48GB (64-16).

[pja → TsomArp]

True enough. Meanwhile Apple will charge you $200 for the same upgrade.

(Yes, I know the Apple price isn't really about the flash, it's about segmented the user base into 'will pay (lots) more' and 'willing to compromise on the storage to get the cheaper deal'. The net result is much the same for the end user though.)

No, but you have to at least subtract the cost of the 16GB one.
