Update: OnePlus 2 Hands-on & First Impressions
The 13MP rear camera on the OnePlus 2 gets optical image stabilizaton, laser autofocus like the LG G3/G4. There's a dual-LED flash as well, and its capable of recording 4K videos. Connectivity options include dual-SIM 4G LTE support, dual-band WiFi ac, Bluetooth 4.1 and GPS alongwith the USB Type C port for data-syncing/charging. Here are the OnePlus 2 SAR Values for India - Head: 0.729 W/kg, Body: 0.329 W/kg.
Although the OnePlus 2 has a 1080p display just as the OnePlus One, but its brighter and has better contrast. A 1080p display would sap less power, but we'd see how it looks at the launch event in India today. There's an intuitive alert slider on the left using which you can toggle between different notification modes, All, Priority and None.
The USB Type C reversible is another new addition alongwith the fingerprint scanner which is being touted to be faster than the iPhone 6 and can store upto 5 profiles. We have played with OxygenOS and it was a very vanilla take on Android with some enhancements made. OxygenOS on the OnePlus 2 takes it a step further to make it easier to use with custom accent colors and a dark mode for themes.
You can buy the OnePlus 2 on August 11th in India, US, Canada, China and the EU if you get the invite, which you can from here. We'll be sharing more details as they come.
