The OnePlus 2 is here! After an amazing VR launch on Monday, OnePlus used a mixture of fans and conference calls to provide viewers with thorough information regarding its new "2016 flagship killer". One thing's for sure though, it will be available to the public on August 11 with an invite system in place.
The OnePlus 2 will feature a 13 megapixel rear facing camera featuring larger pixels than its predecessor and better optical image stabilization. A new laser autofocus system hopes to provide the best focus possible for your images. The OnePlus 2's screen is still 5.5 inches at 1080p though it now features a better contrast ratio and higher screen brightness. This is not the same panel that was featured on the original One.
A new fingerprint scanner is found on the front of the device as well as dashes that are user configurable for multitask viewer, home and back button actions. A new alert switch is on the side of the device that block notifications. Users can choose between none, priority or all. Oxygen OS is the new operating system of choice and looks to provide users with high customization levels with a new dark mode on board.
Everything is run by a V2.1 Snapdragon 810 processor from Qualcomm with a 3300 mAh battery providing all the juice. Four gigs of RAM or on board and your choice of 16 or 64 gigs of memory option should provide users with ample memory. The phones speakers appear to be down facing just like before with holes to the left and right of the new USB Type C charging port. There is also a metal ring around the device to help provide that extra premium feel. Sandstone black is the standard back cover though it can be changed, in a matter of seconds, with more premium covers.
Expect the device to launch in multiple markets on August 11. An invite is needed to place your order just like before. The 2 will cost $329 US for 16 gigs and $389 US for 64 gigs of storage. OnePlus will also set up pop up stores around the globe to help provide users with support and invite bags filled with goodies. In the US, a store will pop up in NYC (stay tuned).
