Zoom7000 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 OnePlus announced the OnePlus 2 yesterday. It is due to be released in the UK on 11th August and will cost £239 for the 16GB model and £289 for the 64GB model. The full specs can be found here. Here are some of the highlights: System Operating System: OxygenOS based on Android 5.1 CPU: 64-bit Qualcomm© Snapdragon™ 810 processor with 1.8GHz Octa-core CPUs GPU: Adreno™ 430 RAM: 4 GB/3 GB LPDDR4 Sensors: Fingerprint, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Proximity and Ambient Light Battery: Embedded rechargeable 3,300 mAh LiPo battery Dimensions Dimensions: 151.8 x 74.9 x 9.85 mm Weight: 6.17 ounces (175 g) Size: 5.5 inch Resolution: 1080p Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), 401 PPI Type: LCD In-cell Protection: Corning© Gorilla© Glass Camera Sensor: 13 Megapixel (1.3um) Lenses: 6 lenses to avoid distortion and color aberration OIS: Yes Laser Focus: Yes Flash: Dual-LED Aperture: f/2.0 Front Camera: 5 Megapixel - Distortion free Video: 4K resolution video, Slow Motion: 720p video at 120fps Ports/Buttons Ports: Data & Charging: USB Type-C Audio: Jack 3.5mm Buttons: Power Button, Volume Rockers, Alert Slider, Capacitive / On-screen buttons SIM: Dual SIM, 2 slots - Nano SIM (DSDS) Indicators: 1 LED notification light (multicolored) And it supports all major UK 4G/LTE bands! (Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20) Specs look good to me. I thought they'd bump up the screen to 4K, but I guess the 1080p screen keeps the battery life going for longer. Definitely seems like the best choice for anyone fancying an Android phone. Again it is only available on the invite system. More details on the invite system can be found here.
Arthur Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 No NFC or QuickCharge 2.0 support though. The former means you won't be able to use Android Pay when it's available in the UK and the latter means you have to wait 3 hours 20 minutes for the battery to fully charge.
thatuser Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 No NFC, i can't help but wonder what they were thinking.. really fancied the phone as well!
Zoom7000 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) The question is what will the uptake for Android pay be once it launches? Apple Pay hadn't exactly at the world alight and Samsung are launching their own version. I don't think the banks will be too forthcoming with paying more and more transaction fees to all the third parties. Apple did well to get in there before Google and Samsung. So the lack of NFC might not be too much of a deal breaker. Although the lack of QuickCharge is very disappointing. Edited July 28, 2015 by Zoom7000
JordanT91 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 NFC I don't care about. Quickcharge would have been very nice to have so that's a bit of a let down. I'm seriously considering the LG G4 now.
afc123 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Was all for OPO2 but no NFC or quick charge and the same screen size (I had the original and the screen was to big) is me out Shame but Galaxy S6 here I come!
GeekyPete Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Wonder if there will be ant OPOs selling second hand soon?
Arreks Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Anyone got one yet? Lack of NFC is such a minor detail that it has no effect on my opinion, I didn't think anyone used NFC anyway..
Arthur Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I didn't think anyone used NFC anyway.. It's very useful if you have a Yubikey Neo for 2FA.
thatuser Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Lack of NFC is such a minor detail that it has no effect on my opinion it wont annoy me at all until my mates start paying for everything with their phones, then i have to say my phone doesn't support it..
