Oneplus 2, finally!

So I've complained about not being able to get this device for months, buy now that I have it in happy. It is no flagship killer, but it is truly a nice phone.


The first thing I noticed when I pulled it out of there box was the screen, of I was not a techie I'd think it was a QHD display!  Simply put, it's gorgeous. The next thing that really surprised me was the size of the phone, and the way it feels in my hands. The sandstone back is great, and gives the right amount of grip you need to hold it. I did get a wood back too, but found it was kinda hard to keep swapping then out. Really slippery too once it is on, and it looks better than it feels.

The software on the Oneplus 2 is buttery smooth, and I found myself cruising quickly through the phone while using.  This is pretty much a stock software experience, so Nexus lovers will love this.  With 64gb of onboard storage, I've got tons left to spare. I am gonna pickup some cases, but for now all I have is a tempered glass on the front. Looks good, and does not take away from touch sensitivity at all.  I normally don't jump straight to battery, but I have to. This phone is great on battery!  I easily get 5 or 6 hours screen on time, with every charge.  So speaking of charging, it takes a bit but it gets there. 15 to 100 was about 80 mins or so. The new USB Type C charging is nice, but nothing special to brag about.  The fact is, I hate having to pull out all the cables to charge the phone. 


The camera in my experience is pretty good, and I won't complain. It does what it needs to do, and takes good pictures! Video recording is solid, and does well to me!

Performance on the phone if really solid, and I can see why a person would want this phone. I've had no issues at all, and I think this is a well rounded device.  One thing I really like about this phone is the included switch on the side of the phone, so you can change how you are notified.  I'm really pleased with this, and I think lots of Android phones should pick this option in the future.


For just under $400, you get a good package.
