well here we go everybody because it's Joshua regard from Antron Authority what's going on everybody and it's time to unbox and give my first impressions on the oneplus 2 well everybody here we are with the oneplus 2 the packaging is still of the signature red color that oneplus uses but it is not quite as unique as the packaging was for the oneplus one this literally just made to my doorstep today and I'm going to go ahead and unbox this bad boy and rip this thing open like it's Christmas so here we go and here we go with the actual unboxing itself and there you go we have the oneplus 2 right there of course we'll have that plastic to be able to peel off but there are already some pieces of information that are available right here on the top portions the headphone jack of course I've taught the alert slider the brand new input on the left side that is like a notification toggle and a silenced toggle the power button and volume rockers over on the right side and you can see that information plainly on the front to give you a bit of a snapshot of what to expect of course on the bottom here you can see the fingerprint scanner we're gonna put that aside just for a second and take a look at what else we have inside of the box we have the Quick Start Guide all of the manuals the user guide down here now here is the power adapter the AC adapter rather for the USB type-c connector which is brand new to this device and the oneplus 2 is going to be one of the few devices currently that actually supports that new standard so we're going to have that as a new feature on the oneplus 2 now the flat USB type-c cable is really nice because it won't get tangled very easily and if you had the oneplus one you know what to expect with this one except the fact that the port is now different of course it's USB type-c reversible and different this time around you will be able to put it in no matter which orientation you will insert it in so it's going to be easy to connect on both ends of the cord well it seems simplicity it pretty much does it for the oneplus 2 unboxing you really only get the bare essentials but those actual essentials are a little bit different especially what that new USB standard and what makes the unboxing for this a little bit more unique and here is the oneplus 2 in all of its glory it's the sandstone Black Edition with the camera optics a little bit lower down which we've already talked about quite a bit in our first looks and all of you guys have already sounded off your opinions on a little bit but really what's great about this device and what I feel already from the moment I take it out of plastic it's just how solid it feels with this metal frame over on the sides it seriously feels like a very meaty very not necessarily heavy but it's very substantial device definitely not one you would expect a phone at this price to really come in at and really looking at the sleek front there with the black slate design everything is just pretty much where it needs to be even the fingerprint scanner here on the bottom there which will act also as a home button and of course the slider over here on the side that will be able to silence the phone or just put it on priority notifications if you don't want all of them to come in on the other side over here we have the volume rocker above the power button which lands beautifully where the thumb would land for this 5.5 inch device and really it just feels very accessible and very easy in the hand which is lovely and great to see for this new flagship killer as it is called and then if you want to change the backing which is really easy given that this back cover just easily pops off I should to go ahead and demonstrate that right now that cover actually really easily comes off just got to get all of the little poppers out and you'll be able to easily replace the backing of the oneplus 2 and by any of the other covers we did do a comparison of all the different style swap covers when I did this phones first look and you'll be able to see all the different stylings that you can put on this phone and it's great that it's nice and easy to get the back cover off and replace it so you can really make this phone your own and there you go powering on the oneplus 2 obviously we have oxygen OS at the helm here version 2.0 now based on version lollipop 5.1.1 of course CyanogenMod is not the version of Android you're gonna be getting in here but oxygen OS already shows that it has a bit of style with this loading screen here and we're gonna jump right into the device itself you've probably already noticing on the top corner here that we have dual-sim capabilities so the oneplus 2 will be able to take bill sims off the bat and you can see the two icons up there because I don't have any SIM cards inserted into this phone at the moment all right looks like we're gonna go through the oneplus set up actually navigation control right here quite simple you could just use the hardware buttons or the software buttons underneath if you want to use those they're not going to show up right here at the moment but you can see that preview on the bottom to show you what they would look like of course we want to use the ones down here to preserve our precious real estate on the screen so actually and here are all the gestures over here oxygen OS keeps things pretty Spartan you just have to do a double tap to wake which is one that I really do like to use let's go and open the camera that way I don't want the flashlight one because I don't want that triggering in my pocket and then of course the music control which I can do without and finally we have the choice of which keyboard we want to use whether it would be Swift key or the Google keyboard Swift key is nice and all but I will keep the regular lollipop method now the Shelf is the new one that we're going to take a closer look at in our full review but I will enable the shelf it is basically a replacement for Google now that essentially is two different widgets one of them will show you your most used applications the other one will be your most contacted contacts so just for the sake of posterity let's go and test out a couple of those gestures double tap to wake seems to work pretty well I'll go and turn that off and let's go ahead and do the circle one to go straight into the camera so there it is of course I will be doing the camera shootout very soon on the oneplus 2 we'll see what the camera quality is truly like on it for the daily and with that our oneplus 2 coverage is officially underway so keep it tuned to Android authority for all of the coverage of the oneplus 2 we're gonna go through a lot of different comparisons see if this so-called flagship killer actually does kill the flagships and with a lower price point we're excited to see if this might still be the bang for buck phone that you want in your pocket so keep it
