OnePlus 2 Review and Specs: The New Flagship Killer

The long #HYPE has come to an end. Chinese startup OnePlus has launched its second flagship OnePlus 2 crammed up with impressive specs and a cheap price tag starting from $329. OnePlus continues to use an improvised version of the invite system that was successful with the OnePlus 1. Sign Up here to get in line for your invite and OnePlus 2.

OnePlus 2 has an impressive design with a 5.5 inch 1080p display, Aluminium+Magnesium frame and feels solid. The displays also has 1500:1 contrast ratio. On the right side of the body is the volume rocker and sleep/wake key and on the left side of the body is a smart three-stage slider key. It is used for adjusting notifications. It ties in with Google's priority notifications system and will disable all notifications, or let most important ones. It makes it easier to switch between settings, otherwise you'll have to waken up the phone to do this.


The new feature on the OnePlus 2 is the fingerprint scanner placed in the home button beneath the screen. The home button is more like a touchpad and not a physical button, which is quite amazing. Just like the iPhone, it requires multiple touches to learn your fingerprint, but it is faster than Apple's Touch ID.

The OnePlus 2 runs OnePlus's Oxygen OS which is based on Android. And looking at the hardware, it uses the Snapdragon 810 processor, which is known for its heating issues. But the OnePlus promises that the OnePlus 2 will be cooler than ever. Hopefully they have made some tweaks to reduce the heating.


OnePlus 2 is one of the first phones that will utilize the new reversible USB Type-C standard for its charging and data port. So connecting a charger is now fast and less frustrating. It also sports a 4 GB RAM and comes in 2 models with varying storage: 16GB and 64GB. The 16GB phone costs $329 and the with the 64GB phone the price shoots up to $389.

The camera of the second flagship of OnePlus is a 13MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and a 5MP front camera and shoots 4k videos . The camera's laser autofocus system locks in a touch-free and precise focus in under 0.2 seconds. Also the Optical Image Stabilization automatically corrects for unwanted shakes and bumps.


The OnePlus offers a variety of style swaps including bamboo, rosewood, Apricot wood, Kevlar and Sandstone. As I mentioned at the beginning, OnePlus sticks to its invite system which is somewhat annoying but the improvised system looks more promising. Click Here to sign up now and get in line to get a invite and your OnePlus 2.

    2. True! I agree with your argument.
      According to oneplus, they have removed NFC because most of the users of opo did not use the feature. But that is a negative
      Oneplus have planned to provide an adaptor for USB 3.0.
      I guess oneplus compromised on the QHD to increase battery life and to keep the low cost of the phone. But this is my speculation.
