Oppo and OnePlus have my attention.

The smartphone market is indeed a big one. Many manufacturers try and compete for your business. Most everyone knows the major players, Apple, Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony. But there are a few company's that make great phones that not many people are aware of. Oppo and OnePlus are just two this year that are really getting me excited.

Oppo's Find 7a is a great looking smartphone with top of the line specs. 1080p screen? Check. Great build quality? Check. Expandable memory? Check. With a price tag that's below most manufacturers flagship phones ($499 unlocked), they really want to make consumers stop and take notice.

OnePlus' phone (OnePlus One) has been able to stay very secretive. We know that spec wise it is easily among the top of the heap, but we have no idea what the phone actually looks like. With an April 23rd announcement coming around the corner, their under $400 phone is definitely in my sites.
