I have a OnePlus Two, you have questions. Lets do this!

[Russell Holly]

Hey there,

You all know the drill by now. Hardware just hit my desk, so it's time to have fun. I'm going to go do an unboxing over on Periscope, you can join me over there or you can start firing your questions here. I'll be around all day, answering as many as I can. Lets play!

There's a lot of questions from me. Here are some.

• How fast is charging the OPT?
• How hot does the phone get under heavy use? Any signs of throttling?
• How's the battery life so far compared to the HTC One M8 + M9 and OnePlus One?
• Does the lack of NFC hurt the phone's functionality?
• How fast is the camera's autofocus?
• Does the fingerprint sensor work well?
• How's the USB Type-C connector?
• How does the phone feel overall?
• Is OxygenOS 2 any good?

That's all.

You mention the software is different. What exactly is different from the version you saw earlier?

Will you send me an invite? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Joking aside, how different is the OS from stock Android? I'm running a Nexus 5 at the moment and it's my favourite OS experience by far, so I'd like to know that OxygenOS doesn't make any drastic changes to the detriment of the phone before I make the plunge and upgrade (if I do ever get my hands on an invite).

Oneplus 2 or Moto x pure?

How is the camera compared to the samsung s6 and the old OnePlus one?

Overheating?

 

[DamianP]

How is the screen subjectively compared to the G4 and S6?
In terms of brightness and colors?

Upon unboxing and powering on the device, what's the one thing that stands out the most?

Hi!

- How is the audio quality when using headphones? Is the DAC chip any good?
- How well does the UCB-C plug fit into the connector? When plugged in does it move or is it well stuck to the phone?
- How is one-handed use on the phone. It seems to have a decent screen-to-body ratio. Similar to the G3?

Thanks in advance.

Does the USB-C allow for Video out? The OnePlus One didn't have any way to output video over Cable, so it would be a nice addition. Also, does it allow the phone to be charged while other devices are connected to the USB-C?

1. Nonexistent
2. Like most phones, it got a little warm syncing my account. Nothing serious.
3. I've had the phone for 5 minutes. Will talk battery in the review.
4. Sure, if you use NFC.
5. Fast. Easily as fast if not faster than the G4 in daylight. Haven't tested night yet.
6. Amazingly well, actually.
7. Honestly not all that different from MicroUSB.
8. Heavy. Solid. Grippy.
9. So far it seems nice and minimal. I thoroughly enjoyed having the ability to turn their features off in the initial setup.

Some noticeable jank in our hands on, particularly when messing with themes and in the advanced camera settings. We were told it was a pre-production build and that things would be fixed in the retail version. So far that seems to hold true.

Much brighter than the G4, competes nicely with the S6 until you go outside. There's just no competing with Samsung's extreme daylight mode.

Oxygen OS has very little on by default. Gestures, default keyboards, all of that stuff has to be turned on and chosen. It's nice.

Looks to be a solid phone. It's rather unfortunate that I can't say the same for the company and that getting the phone could prove to be a bit of a chore.

Russell, I notice you do much of the work on the One Plus One reporting....having said that how big of a difference does the 2 seem to be versus the One? Is it that big of a deal that we should ditch our OPOs and switch?

It feels like a much nicer device. Camera on the Two is better, fingerprint sensor is exceptional. Unless you need NFC to live, or it turns out Oxygen is garbage (I seriously doubt it, but haven't spent enough time yet) this is a solid upgrade in my eyes.

Does the Oneplus 2 have screen mirroring support with Chromecast? My One doesn't.
