The phone that was on many of our lips has finally launched, so has the wait for the OnePlus 2 been worth it? Learn the full specs for the new flagship killer here.
With leaked images and video, and OnePlus releasing partial specifications for their latest device ahead of the VR launch earlier, there really wasn’t much left for OnePlus fans to wait for and learn.
Still there were some surprising additions and omissions of the OnePlus 2 that we learnt during the launch.
In standard form the OnePlus 2 will ship with a Sandstone Black rear panel. There won’t be a white baby skin version available off the shelf, but wooden style swap covers will finally be making their way on to the phone. I have to say that the odd styling doesn’t look quite as bad when those wooden covers are attached in place too.
Dimensions of the OnePlus 2 are smaller than the original OPO at 151.8 x 74.9 x 9.85mm. With a weight of 175g and a thickness of 9.85mm the OPT isn’t the lightest nor thinnest phone on the market, but that recoverable rear cover does add to the thickness as does the 3300mAh battery. Unfortunately the battery is non user replaceable and, although quite a thick phone, OnePlus didn’t manage to find space of fast charging, wireless charging, NFC or a SD card slot.
Moving on the display on the OnePlus 2 is a Corning Gorilla Glass 5.5-inch panel running a FHD resolution of 1920 x 1080. A good choice in our opinion. Above the display is a 5 mega-pixel distortion free camera and below a physical home button with in-built fingerprint scanner.
Dual speakers are found in the base of the phone as is USB Type C, while the rear is home to a 13 mega-pixel main camera. The rear camera boast OIS, dual LED flash and 6 lenses for reduced distortion and color aberration. The rear camera supports 4K video and 720p slow motion at 120fps. The 13 megapixel shooter also boast an F2.0 aperture and super fast laser autofocus.

Under the hood there are very few shocks. Qualcomm have supplied a 64bit Snapdragon 810 chipset running at an under clocked 1.8Ghz and Adreno 430 GPU. There is 3-4GB RAM, options for either 64GB or 16GB memory, and dual SIM.
Supported bands for the OnePlus 2 (international model) are;
- US – GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz; WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/8; FDD-LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/7/8/12/17
- EU/India – GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz; WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/5/8; FDD-LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
The “Flagship Killer” also comes with dual-band WIFI, Bluetooth 4.1 and GPS.
As you are all probably aware the OnePlus 2 comes with OnePlus’s own Android ROM named OxygenOS. The system is based on Android 5.1.1 and looks clean and stylish, but not to far removed from a standard Android install.
You are all also probably be aware that to buy the OnePlus 2 you are going to need an invite. The first invites will begin on the 11th August and phones will cost $389 for the 4GB RAM 64GB memory version. A $329 3GB RAM 16GB memory model will be also launched but at a later date.
So that’s the OnePlus 2. Now that it is official what do you think of the phone? Is it everything you hoped? Are you upset for the lack of NFC, SD and fast charging? Will you buy one? Let us know in the comments below.
… and a thickness of 9.85mm – DAAAAAAMN! I just can’t understand why the hell they made so huge top and buttom borders with this fatness. They should learn to make compacts from mi4i
… and a thickness of 9.85mm – DAAAAAAMN! I just can’t understand why the hell they made so huge top and buttom borders with this fatness. They should learn to make compacts from mi4i
That`s thick brother 😀
I don`t mind though, using a 9mm phone with a rubber cover, so thickness is around 10-11mm and it feels fine. It`s a man’s phone, not 6-7mm girly.
You can use a 4mm bumper if you like) But IMHO this is ain’t the flagship killer specs
It would had been a flagship killer if it was priced 350$ for the 64GB.
And honestly: 16GB phones without SD cards should die!
Well when Apple discontinued to make 16Gb models other brands will go the same line to minimum 32Gb storage)))
You know that the 64 gig version costs like 380 bucks… Thats 30 dollars more that you are willing to pay lol… And look at the price diference of another brands ( Apple, Samsung etc)
It would had been a flagship killer if it was priced 350$ for the 64GB.
And honestly: 16GB phones without SD cards should die!
At that price bra it is. You can`t have top of the line specs and quality build for much less, buy the Iphone 6+ or Samsung S6 Edge for 600$ if you want, for me at 349$ that is a flagship killer.
Can you just tell what flagships been killed with first model? What Brands suffered from Oneplus sales? Oneplus never changed the game of the mobile world. Most of price drops been made by B/C brands and Xiaomi, Meizu, Lenovo. Not the OPO. And 1st echelon flagships don’t give a fck of the overhyped mistrust company) And as you said, it’s only a flagship killer for you) I might think if you have a spare 1K bucks you would never bought Oneplus Two, it is a flagship for most with a low budget and big wants)
totally dont agree with you.. but we all have our own opinions ( and it seems u are very angry about the first iteration of the device)
I’m not angry at all, try to read my post with the “)” that i use. First OPO been great, they spoiled it with back swaps, no fastcharge and other things that #neversettle PR team promised of) But second is a average phone. Just Full HD, no SD again, no NFC, no Fastcharge, no unique new features, except the Apple minded modes toggle. That is what i can’t call a flagship, and even a flagship killer. By the end of the year most of OnePlus2 specs will be avarage. I hope some big player will announce new phones in a couple of months
What dont you argee with? Xiaomi, Meizu and Lenovo have all been offering flagship phones at this price range long before OP even existed.
Yes they did and they were really flawed just like the OpO was but clear to be from all the phones i got last year with the opo i had perhaps the best experience (the only flaws were camera related which were fixed…..3 months ago -_-) i really liked the experience i got from it
They were flawed?? How exactly? The Mi3 was one of the best flagships every released for it’s time.
I loved the mi3 because if its software but it had lots of bugs some battery problems even heatup on sd800 wich didnt happen on my g2 and at launch the camera wasnt optimized at all
MIUI has always run a little hotter than other UI’s. It was the same with the Mi4 and SD801. But there are thousands of forum posts about issues with the G2 heating up as well as having battery issues and numerous software bugs. No pone is immune to software bugs, some are better at managing them than other but every phone suffers from them. I never had any issues with the camera on the Mi3.
Nope, if I had 1k i would never spend it on a phone, hell I would never spend more than 300$, simply can`t justify it.
You can use a 4mm bumper if you like) But IMHO this is ain’t the flagship killer specs
This man like his phones like he likes his woman, thin. 🙂
That`s thick brother 😀

Had a bad experience with the original. Maybe I’ll give it another go with this new one.

Without any survey I can say that most readers of Gizchina are not fans of Oneplus co. 😀 😀 😀
i am wondering why?
i own the Oneplus One, and i don’t see any reasons why i should buy the second. It’s just ugly and has lots of cons. It’s average
I am fan of the design of the One. But let’s be fair the built quality is fast superior to the One. And with the wooden covers the phone is not ugly at all.
Build quality is average. Repaired mine, been inside and even buttons on a glue is just a mess. Nothing superior inside. Xiaomi build is way better. Wooden covers that cost a 50 backs, no thanks. Even they fcked up on first model back swaps)
Don’t worry, someone somewhere will sell copies at 15$.
I really dislike this company, their invite system and stupids forum moderators pi##ed me off too many times. But this phone is tempting.
I will not be surprise if Xiaomi come up with something to kill Oneplus once and for all.
Anyway, long story short, as you said below: The 1+ Two is good, but not the 2016 flagship killer, not even 2015.
xiaomi have no means to kill oneplus, if oneplus would operate only in asia, then yes, but globally they cannot do much to them
Xiaomi sells phones over all the world. They may not have official stores in the west but they still have strong sales there. By entering Brazil, Xiaomi now sells phones in 4 of the top 5 biggest markets in the World. The only one they are no in is the US, which is a very tough market to break into.
No to mention One Plus can only officially be ordered in about 16 countries. So it’s really not all that different from Xiaomi’s model.
they cannot even do much in China. no one actually knows opo in china. thats a bloody fact
Build quality is average. Repaired mine, been inside and even buttons on a glue is just a mess. Nothing superior inside. Xiaomi build is way better. Wooden covers that cost a 50 backs, no thanks. Even they fcked up on first model back swaps)
Right now mentioning anything about build quality is pure speculation. Until it is in the hands of consumers all we have is marketing.

The sim reader on mine broke after a few days of use and I sent it back for warranty repair but Oneplus said it was fine and sent it back to me but It could not hold a signal with any sim I had even a brand new one.

I’m a OnePlus fan, I love my OPO and I’ve had it problem free for just over 12 months now…
The way I came across OnePlus was when I stumbled upon GizChina early last year… So thanks for that at least! 🙂
Things were better when they were in bed with Cyanogen but ahh well, things change I guess…
Because most are long time users of China phones prior to One Plus One coming onto seen.
For me I have never been a big fan of Oppo or their designs, the One was just a Find 7 with cosmetic modifications and different software. And then there is the invite system.

No fast charging with a stupid USB Type C??? In my vocabulary it is called an Oxymoron.

Looks like an Elephone. For the price is Ok, invite system is shit, they don’t ship everywhere so costs will rise buying with resellers, No SD and NFC? I think the Mi5 will be the flagship killer later this year

EU/India – GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz; WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/5/8; FDD-LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
Dual-SIM
Better specs of all!
…and North America bands!
this is the best thing they have done.
Are these bands enabled in all versions or do they enable based on the country they release ? In other words, buying one from China might not get you all those bands perhaps ?
seems like they made different versions.
for that reason if you buy one from China you won’t get all those bands enabled.

I still prefer my gionne e7, bought for 155$…
Me too.
I also have the Gionee E7 for about the same cost as yours. I love the Gionee. The camera is better than my One +. Only problem is Kit Kat and no 4G.
Gionee is one of my favorite brands and the E7 was an amazing phone.
I still prefer my gionne e7, bought for 155$…
I really got annoyed at how they always over-promised and under-delivered. Up until I sold my OPO a few months ago, the touch issues had still not been resolved (despite a half-dozen promises that update x fixed them). Also, I bought the phone for the swap style covers, only one of which ever materialized (with much delay). I would also say the phone was very buggy for a time, but I guess compared to many of the phones reviewed on this site, it was relatively stable:)
“over-promised and under-delivered”.
Well said my friend. You just summarize it perfectly. It just reminds me this interview of their CEO saying that they compete with the devices of 2015 but the ones of the next year.
well, I’ve been skeptical about this phone but now i think it’s a phone to keep an eye on.
camera seems fantastic, with OIS and laser autofocus (looking forward to see what’s capable of)
all LTE bands are enabled for a true world phone!
big battery, fingerprint scanner.
price is also great (only 10% more expensive than last year model)
no SD card slot, no NFC, no wireless charging is not a big deal for me.
the only downside to me is no fast charging
(did i really read that it’s missing??)
another concern is their ROM, i already read it’s not great (not a surprise since it’s on early stage)
and again their invite system, let’s see if it’s really improved.
waiting for reviews and user experience.
I’ll keep an eye on this phone for sure
Oxygen OS 2.0 is said to be “near-stock Android”, which is better than any other bloatware-charged brand-customized OS 😀
that was smart from them, and i honestly would not blame the OS if it’s not smooth because it’s new.
hopefully it’s better than what i read.
i still can’t believe the phone doesn’t support fast charging though. I’ve got rid of all my 1A adapters long time ago.
1000mAh adapters? umm, can I suggest that you use 2100mAh chargers? 😛
that’s what i only have now.
2100mAh at home and 2400mAh in the car.
i don’t think you can safely use those with this OP2 if it doesn’t support fast charging.
I might be wrong, i guess we’ll wait for feedbacks.
looks like it support 2A, but that´s no upgrade from opo
i hope so because i can’t really deal to wait up to 3 hours to charge a phone.
call me weird but that’s the only reason that kept me from buying a Jiayu S3 in the past.
5V 2A should be able to charge in 2 hours, even lesser if the USB C got some tricks.
2 hours seems kind of slow. My MX5 has a full charge in a little under an hour using a 5v 2A.
the 3000mAh battery of MI4 gets fully charged in about 1 hour with the original charger.
No way, mine took 4-5 hours to go from 0-100%.
what? there was def something wrong with your phone.
🙂
I think your right. Even knew it took 3-4 hours to charge it fully, I was coming from a phone that took an entire night to charge so to me that was fast lol. I would still get a full day and a half out of the battery with normal usage but it did take a while to charge. Could have been my charger too.
it looks like you had the wrong charger.
It was the charger that came with it, I always switch with a new phone. Maybe it was just defective.
Maybe mine was defective lol. I never had good charging time with it, that was always my biggest complaint about it. Aside from the boring white color.
That has become my favorite feature on the Mx5. It takes about 10 minutes to go from 0-25% and a little over 40 minutes to get to 80%. I don’t know how I ever lived without this.
once you go fast charging you never go back
yes, the fast charging on the meizu mx5 is great……
I can’t get by the hideous design and how heavy and thick it is. For me a 9.9mm phone in 2015 is not a flagship. Design matters too much to me. And I wouldn’t touch a phone with an 810, not without gloves at least!
Having said that I like the look of Oxygen and if you can get invite it is a good deal, but thats only if you can get an invite. Without one these are selling for over $400 and $500 respectively.
it is a good deal if there’s no overheating.
i don’t mind the design, it’s not a Huawei but i still kinda like it.
I’m sure they are going to get a lot of new customers with the support of LTE band 20 in EU and all those north America bands.
that was really smart
Techradar already had a hands on and said in their few minutes playing Asphalt it started to get warm.
Including all the bands was an incredibly smart idea, I wonder if it will be one world mode phone or if they have different models for different markets like the Zenfone does.
looks like it will be 2 versions.
I don’t think it’s bad though.
For example i often travel between US and EU but i spend most of the time in the US where i would finally take advantage of 4G speed and use 3G everytime i go overseas.
SD801 with metal body was already warm, if it stays that warm it slightly warmer I’ll be ok with it.
the Price is Right, but if you get the phone from official channel.
i wouldn’t buy this one from resellers (but this is only my opinion).
for sure(on paper) this one is a MI Note killer.
The Mi Note was DOA lol. It was a phone that just never made sense from Xiaomi, there really wasn’t a huge demand for it and internally it was no better than the Mi4 (except for a slightly better camera).
I agree if you can get an invite (and you like the hideous and thick styling) this is a very good deal. (although you can get the LeTV 1 for even cheaper, and the MX5 for the same price with no invite needed). On the reseller market these will be incredibly overpriced.
assuming this scenario:
– you can easily get an invite
– the phone doesn’t fry
– the Rom is decent
then this one seems to be a better deal to me because:
the cameras are comparable but this one has OIS
this one supports LTE US bands and EU band 20.
the 64GB version costs almost like the 32GB version of the Meizu thru resellers.
all the benefits of buying from an official channel rather than resellers.
all those conditions need to be satisfied simultaneously otherwise the choice goes on the MX5
All of what you say does make sense but for me I just cant get over the design. 9.9mm and 175grams for a 2015 Flagship is horrible to me. I hate chunky phones.
right, i didn’t include design because it’s up to personal taste.
Yeah I feel the same, as an OPO owner though I think support is nice to have and all the 4G bands bands and OIS. these are the only things bothering me about the MX5,
I live in a country where the MX5 has full LTE so it largely depends where you live. As for OIS it is nice to have but we still need to see how good the camera on the OP2 is. If it isn’t a good camera, OIS is useless. I have a feeling it is going to be very good but it still needs to be tested. The MX5 has an amazing camera and I never really miss not having OIS.
Exactly my thoughts. The 810 doesn’t bother as much as I think it will be ok in day to day use but the horrible design and thickness are just so bad not sure I can get past them either. How are you finding the MX5? I’m still seriously considering it, although the lack of OIS was a shame…
I could probably get by with an 810 as well, I dont play a lot of games but I do edit a lot of photos and videos which sometimes can be tasking on the processor.
I love the MX5. This is my first Meizu I have ever owned and they may have won me over as a fan. I have yet to find a single issue with it. Battery life is good (plus supports fast charge), it feels amazing in the hand (lighter and thinner than an iPhone 6 plus), and the camera is exceptional.
Can i ask where did you buy your MX5 from?
I got it for free from the contest here. Gizchina Shop sent it, excellent service and excellent phone.
Fastcharging and sdcard slot are a must. So how many hours will it take to charge fully?
they said around 3 hours
The price is ok. I guess they had to loose the nfc and all to keep the price down.
it looks like there are pins on the back of phone, so nfc might be possible
EU/India – GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz; WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/5/8; FDD-LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
India having TDD-LTE so i think it supoort both TDD-and FDD
Interesting camera specs. OIS is a must have right now. The fingerprint is also a nice feature.
I was quite anti this so called upgrade but after combing through the specs and getting to the price ive come to this…
To be fair, for £289 the 64GB 4GB Ram is a pretty good deal… What other manufacturer offers that much spec for that much money with good support and build quality and is also a company you can buy internationally directly from..? I don’t think there is another company…
So ye, it’s kinda got my vote now, at least on the value for money front!
Zenfone 2…. For Even Cheaper 😛
But lets be honest the zenfone has a LOT of flaws – i really dont like it
Ye lol, I’m not sure it’s even comparable… all I hear is people moaning about the poor camera quality and how bulky it is?
You think the Two is going to be any less bulky? The dimensions are almost spot on between the Zenfone and OP2, the Zenfone is a little thicker, the OP2 is a little heavier:
Zenfone 2: 152.5 x 77.2 x 10.9 (170g)
OnePlus 2: 151.8 x 74.9 x 9.9 (175g)
Ye that’s not great is it…
I dont understand why it is even that big. We are seeing most flagships these days being under 8mm and 160g and they are all using similar components that this has.
Lol it is really bad and i really wanted it until i got one to test at my local warehouse
It is indeed very powerfull has an ok battery good/ok screen and thats all … The only use i could find on it was for using as a portable gaming device for kids who want Power on the cheap. ( relatively) they can even get the cheapest 2 ram 720p version it has still a very powerfull processor in it. But wow i hate the device myself
The problem is though, how many people will actually be able to buy the phone for that price? Most will never get an invite and will resort to resellers where it will be over $500 US for that same phone. It’s the same with the One last year, if you can get an invite it is a good deal, but thats a big if. I have no faith that the invite system will be any better this time around.
Balco, I’m with you I really am, I know we had plenty of disagreements regarding OnePlus and their strange ways before and this time round I have very mixed feelings about what they’re trying to do… I don’t believe the invite system will be much better if any and the phone to me really isn’t ‘WowWee’ material either… I’m not sure where it’s heading bit I doubt they’ll carry on with their previous success with this type of product release…
It’s not a horrible phone and it’s actually cheaper than I thought it was going to be. I just don’t understand why you would keep a system that caused so much negative publicity and resentment from the community. There are other ways to have limited sales and wait for the costs of parts to fall without having invites. Xiaomi and others have flash sales, other companies do pre-order codes (like Elephone). They are all doing the same thing but the invite system has a bad stigma to it.
no cyanogen no need. Can someone please let me know why they call themselves Flagship Killer?? Thats a bleeding joke and only makes people look in ridicule at them
only full hd, super thick, huge bezels and a processor that is known to have issues? Very very underwhelming. I don’t understand how they even dear associate this phone to VR when it only has full hd rez, which is bad for VR.
Sorry, no. My next phone will have to be samsung again. I want to move away from samsung but no one is doing things right enough…
Another Invite system…..i don’t like it, Also some thing that i like from OnePlus Two are : DDR4, USB Type C,
Nice looking phone, but high priced for the lack of front line features. I’m probably going to get a Elephone Vowney.
For $329/$389 its actually a pretty good deal. The problem is the invite system rears its ugly head again. They can say its better this time around, but they arent exactly the most believable company. For $329 right now I can buy a Meizu MX5 which matches this thing spec for spec, doesnt have a SoC that is known to overheat and doesn’t require an invite to buy it. I am a little shocked they don’t have a white, gold or silver color option. The darker colors make this thing look even thicker than it really is, which in turn makes it look uglier. The wood option is the least offensive, lighter colors would actually make it look somewhat better.
To be honest guys, 1+2 just got on my list of possible smartphones and it is a VERY STRONG contender to the likes of Zenfone 2 4GB/64GB, Nubia z9 Max and Galaxy Note 4/Edge. Waiting to see how much the Axon will go for in China and also what Zuk is bringing to the party before I decide. Have to get at least 2 smartphones from that list for me.
Though I am definitely going for the 64GB model. 16GB is waaaay too small considering no SD card slot. Gonna have to go the Balco way with USB OTG … hehe.
Techradar has already had a hands on with it and they said the SD 810 does heat up:
“During a racing game of Asphalt 8 from EA, the phone ran a little warmer than I’d liked but it was kind of expected since the Snapdragon 810 has been accused of overheating in other devices like the LG G Flex 2.”
“I’m particularly interested in this element, as OnePlus has promised that it’s worked with Qualcomm to stop the issue being a big problem – it’ll be interesting to see how the phone performs under a stress test.”
You can read the full thing here:

it doses look nice, with this meterial should have premium feal, and pricing is more then good.
but, for me…it’s too big, so it’s not for me.
on first, i don’t like some stuff, but…:
i guess on this price, all buyers will have to pay TAX (25% in my case, on allready bigger price for EU then price for US and Asia),
and battery should be bigger, but we will se more about that later.
we all know SD810 have issues, but let’s wait with thoughts about that also.
generally, it is nice phone, but not “2016 flagship killer”, SD620 wil come in month or two,and Samsung’s Exinos is allready hire. who want best HW, will go for phones with that SoC.
some other curent flagship would cost me less to buy with subsides, then this..and it does have SAME HW, and some of them better screens, Cameras, batttery life…
so, to this phone bigger concern shoud be last years flagships with similar pricing. is it really any better then them!? 2016 flagship will cost more, but it will be true flagship, not 6 months late copycats
I’m not going to lie, I’m kind of disappointed.
I have the One+ and I love it. The One+2 does not come with SD card and NFC is a big disappointment. I wont be buying the OPT. There is a 2G version of ZTE Z9 (ZTE Nubia Z9 Max 2GB/16GB 5.5 inch 1080P Snapdragon 64bit Dual 4G $279.99 from Merimobile.) for $280. I am considering buying this and it looks like a bargain.
that nubia only has s615, why update to it from opo? opo has better soc, battery and dimensions….
The Nubia Z9 max uses 810. This particular model is only 2G RAM. Its dual SIM, NFC and up to 128G external SD card. Youtube reviews seem that ZTE Z9 Max do not have have heating problem
that kinda confused me, so i googled it. it seems there are two versions of z9 max 3/16 using s810 and 2/16 using s615, i will be just bad description on merimobiles
that kinda confused me, so i googled it. it seems there are two versions of z9 max 3/16 using s810 and 2/16 using s615, i will be just bad description on merimobiles
Here the details: http://merimobiles.com/zte-nubia-z9-max-2g-16g-p-meri10873.htm
The Z9 mini uses S615. I think the 2G RAM version of Z9 max only available at Merimobile.
You are right about the s615. Merimobile is wrong. Thanks.
Oh god, that UI is ugly. Looks like the custom UI Xiaomi wannabes of 2-3 years ago.
To me it looks like Flyme and Stock Android combined. I actually like the look of it.
F.ck off with those 5.5 displays. I do not want notebook on my face when i am calling. What i want is flagship among PHONES! That means 4,7, max 5″
Those days are all but over. 5 inches is the minimum you will see most flagships these days. But how is a 5.5 inch any less of a PHONE? Is it not used the same exact way a 5 inch phone is?
Yeah sure, if you want to look like an idio.t calling from a small tv, be my guest.
I prefer one hand phones. Last one was xiaomi mi2s. After that, phones with great specs and reasonable display never showed up.
I don’t know of any small TV’s that are 5.5 inches. But I can see watching movies on my 5.5 inch phone looks a lot better than on a tiny 4.3 inch screen. I have no issues using my Meizu MX5 with one hand and it has a 5.5 inch display.
Yeah…perfectly comfortable and save.
Looks like this…

If you want to watch movies, why would you buy phone for that? And please do not tell me how you can enjoy everything about that movie on 5.5..just don’t.
Here you can see how comfortable it is:

I travel a lot for business. When I am sitting in an airport lounge I love to watch movies on my phone. When I am taking the subway to work, I love to watch the news. People use their phones for a lot more than just calling, welcome to 2015.
Would this be a good time to buy the One 64GB? 270 euros shipping included……
Yes the one is still an excellent phone and will handle everything you throw at it. You can even get the Bamboo edition 64GB for under $300.
Thanks Balco! 🙂 I can get the Bamboo also for the same price. Still a good phone and software is readily available and stable. 801 is still a very good processor and battery life is also good.
Take care!
If you live in EU check out the Gizchina Shop they have some deals on the OPO.
That is the place I intend to buy. Free shipping also… going to buy it now.
Thanks for the tip 😉
I used them already and the service was excellent and shipping was very fast.
for 399, i can get a Moto x style with 64gb, no invite needed. I love this phone though i only hate the invite system
$479.99 at pandawill
as fat as my nokia n95 8gb
Looks like am late to the party…Anyway, here’s my 1+2 cents..(pun intended), after streaming the nauseating app presentation…
->Camera looks pretty neat and powerful,
->Early hands-on suggest it may not have the infamous overheating,
->Fingerprint scanner seems pretty accurate
->Pricing is still unbeatable
->Oxygen OS is pretty clean + it will most definitely get even better roms from the community
While I admit it’s no Oppo r7 plus in terms of look, it’s still better looking that the original, not to mention the smaller compact size..
So why am I not getting this, at least until the real reviews hit, its sheer thickness and weight put me off..despite all the eye drooling specs.
Your move, Jiayu 😀
Early hands on have been mixed about the heating, some noticed it got warm others didn’t. The problem is Oneplus didn’t allow them to do anything strenuous that would have caused the processor to heat up. Until there are some hands on from consumers and reviewers we won’t really know.
Also I wouldn’t ever call this a compact size. It is only slightly shorter than the One while being thicker and heavier:
One – 152.9 x 75.9 x 8.9 mm (162 grams)
Two – 151.8 x 74.9 x 9.9 mm (175 grams)
I watched a couple of hands on videos and it looks a lot better than i thought. I believe i read somewhere that the intial batch is only 50,000 (I could be wrong) i dont know how that is going to work especially as i type 784,510 people have be put on a reservation list for the phone
It’s not going to work. It’s going to be a disaster just like last year. But every reseller will have more than enough to stock of the phone. And they will all sell it for $50-100 more than retail.
