OnePlus-2

The OnePlus 2 is a sizeable upgrade over its predecessor, the OnePlus One. It runs OxygenOS based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, and features a 5.5-inch 1080p IPS LCD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processing chipset, 4GB RAM, 64GB of internal storage, a 13-megapixel primary camera, a 5-megapixel secondary camera, and a 3,300 mAh battery.

We reported about our initial impressions on the device after we had our first hands-on experience of the OnePlus 2. We found that OnePlus 2 is a good improvement over the OnePlus One, especially in things like display, camera, data security, and build quality. Even the 4GB LP-DDR4 RAM is a considerable improvement over the 3GB LP-DDR3 RAM from the OnePlus One.

OnePlus 2 Camera OIS Lens

The OnePlus 2 features a larger 1/2.6-inch camera sensor from OmniVision as opposed to a 1/3-inch IMX214 sensor from Sony that was used in the OnePlus One. Since the camera has the same resolution as the previous smartphone from the company, it results in larger pixel size of 1.3µm, which allows better image capturing capabilities. Moreover, it features an F/2.0 aperture, OIS, and even laser autofocus.

The 5.5-inch IPS LCD display that’s used in this smartphone is manufactured by JDI, and features in-cell touchscreen that results in improved touch sensitivity and accuracy. Moreover, the display is quite bright at 600 nits, and is protected using Gorilla Glass 4 panel. There’s a single loudspeaker instead of dual speakers that were used in the OnePlus One, so that’s a downgrade. There’s a touch-based fingerprint sensor below the display, which the company claims to be faster than the one used in the Apple iPhone 6.
