OnePlus 2 Full Honest Review- Pros & Cons.

           

  We Humans love everything which has good value for money and if value for money terms are apply in Tech world China is the place for everyone. Today here I am talking about another Chinese OEM`s OnePlus. Just with 2 phones under there hood they are looking aggressive in the market and with the new OnePlus 2 so called "2016 flagship killer" let see that this time it is a hit or a miss.



Key Features:
            5.5-inch 1080p screen; Snapdragon 810 processor with 3/4GB RAM; 16 or 64GB storage; Dual SIM; 13-megapixel rear camera; 5-megapixel front camera; Fingerprint sensor; 3,300 mAh battery.


 Display: 
      OnePlus choose to go with Full HD LCD Display resolution at 1080 x 1920 pixels with 401ppi it is the same display panel which was used in OnePlus One but in OnePlus 2 color production is better and display is more sharper. With this display on the board battery usage is not high as 1440p panel.




Design & Hardware:
                         OnePlus 2 look`s similar to it predecessor but the metal frame make look device more  premium and heavier too it weigh around 175g. 4GB DDR4 RAM makes device more powerful than  before and with Snapdragon 810 2.1v under-clocked processor device does not get hang or fumbled    even while playing heavy gaming and multitasking. 5.5 inch display is quite hard handle to single handily but Sandstone back provide enough grip that device does not get slip from hand. On right side of the device it has volume button and power button and on the left side it has Alert slider which is something new on android device and I am loving it other manufacturers must used that too in there device. USB C Type is also something new which I have seen on OnePlus 2 it helps to transfer data faster. 




Camera:
        Camera was the highest priority this time and there are many more features include which was missing from OnePlus One optical image stabilization and laser-assisted auto-focus with 13 MP rear camera produce some excellent images but options are very less as compare to the One. In Outdoor`s OnePlus 2 takes some grate shot`s in light and as the light goes down performance also gets down but still it produce some good images in dark. But there is some problem with camera application it takes some time to load the image let hope it get solved by the latest software.




Battery Life:
              Battery life on OnePlus 2 is average though it is packed with 3,300mAh battery but still performance is average. If we compare OnePlus 2 with OnePlus One battery life OnePlus One wins here. It takes more than 2 hours to charge 0% to 100% which is not that too slow but not too fast also if you are an average user who does not play games for a long time than your battery can survive full day easily.




 Software:
          OnePlus 2 is using its own custom OS named as Oxygen OS. Oxygen OS is just same as Stock Android with little add ons features only few options for customization like Dark themes and Default themes for settings and App drawer. Shelf is also introduced with Oxygen OS where all your mostly useful App is stored there and frequently used contacts can be seen there and more widgets can be add. App permission is also new thing which is main feature of Android M and here in OnePlus 2 user can use this feature on OnePlus 2. System UI is very simple which mean that update to Android M can be faster and OnePlus is looking very serious in software department in 10 days I have received 2 Minors Update with some camera improvements.

Fingerprint Sensor: 
       One of the best features of OnePlus 2 is Fingerprint Sensor it is accurate and faster. 9/10 Sensor has recognized my thumb and It is something I loved on my OnePlus 2 just put your finger on the sensor and in a seconds your device is unlock.











    











 Pros:

  • Build Quality Magnesium alloy feels good and hard.
  • Style Swap Covers makes device looks sexy and beautiful.
  • Dual Nano Sim which is great for travelers.
  • Fingerprint Sensor is good addition.
  • Alert Slider for notifications.
  • Sandstone rear cover we all loved it.
Cons:

  • Device is thick and heavier than One.
  • Camera needs more features.
  • NFC though I don`t use it but for others it is a serious concern.
  • Titled as "Flagship Killer 2016" but not including Quick Charging features that`s not fair.
  • Software need more features may be theme engine can be the good option.
  • USB C type it is hard to find chargers at others place.
  • Invite System Again.
