OnePlus 2 Flagship Killer: Unboxing and Setup

Показать описание

OnePlus dubbed its new phone 'the 2016 Flagship Killer. This takes a look at whether or not that statement is true.

So how about a more grounded claim of 'the 2015 Flapship Killer'? If OnePlus bangs that drum instead, then it might just be onto something.

The price tag on the OnePlus 2 remains around half that of the phones it's aiming to rival – the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S6, iPhone 6S and HTC One M9 – with it now costing £249 (US$349, around AU$490) after receiving a price drop early into 2016.

Originally the company sold a 16GB version of the OnePlus 2, but after almost nine months on sale OnePlus saw fit to drop it and slash the price of the 64GB version. You can still buy the 16GB version in some markets such as India, but in the US and UK you can only get the 64GB option.

The 16GB version of the OnePlus 2 did initially cost £239 (US$329, around AU$460), so the price drop for 64GB model has made up for the changes here.

At this price the OnePlus 2 has the Moto X Style for company, which slides in between the OnePlus Two and top-tier handsets from the major manufacturers. Though the OnePlus 2 is still pricier than the new mid-range OnePlus X.

A quick flick through the spec sheet and you'll likely be impressed with the bang for your buck offered by the OnePlus 2.
