this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by Harry's what's up everyone jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo here the 1+2 was announced earlier this week and as soon as it got unveiled there was a ton of questions complaints and just a whole bunch of ambiguity around the device so i thought i'd share my thoughts and opinions on it we already did a hands-on and we showed it against some of its competitors want to see all those videos will link them right here go check it out but I want to just to recap what the one plus two is and I'll talk about what it is and what it isn't as you guys decide if it's right for you were to try to make up your mind on the phone so first there are two burgers are the oneplus 2 i'm going to focus on the top of the line one that starts at three hundred eighty-nine dollars another one for about 3 30 that drops the storage size and the ram down to three gigs so again it's going to cost you three hundred eighty nine dollars and for comparison purposes if you want to buy these phones unlock the day would cost iPhone 6 16 gigs 649 dollars galaxy s6 32 gig 569 dollars LG g4 32 gig 613 dollars and the Nexus 6 32 gig five hundred dollars 1 plus 2 is going to come with four gigs of RAM it's going to give you an octa-core processor in the snapdragon 810 64 gigs of storage a 3300 million power battery 5.5 inch 1080p display 13 megapixel camera that does 4k it's got two sims and a USBC slot Dems a lot of specs but people aren't really focusing on those specs with the focusing on is what's not not there and what's not there is NFC no support for verizon's bands and no expandable storage most people are understand the lack of Ryan support but the NFC gets gotten people very upset i want the sort of put in perspective for under four hundred dollars you're getting a phone that goes toe-to-toe with almost every other flagship that's close to double the price now listen I think the lack of NFC is definitely knock on the device I had a chance to talk to the co-founder of 1 plus Carl pay and I asked him straight up to his face why was NFC not included and the answer Eddie gave was very candid he said we know Android pay is coming we don't think it's going to be something that's going to be used much this year with anything something that's going to be for for next year the follow-up to that was well you can add cases on the back we'll to be a back panel that could add NFC in the Africa that was a reason no so I wouldn't expect any sort of NFC add-on to come from the oneplus 2 so whether you agree or disagree those are the reasons that NFC wasn't included in the 1+2 but focus on what you're getting for your money I think when you buy a phone you want to get good value and so be hard to find many phones that are going to be a better value than the one plus two you're getting octa-core getting a ridiculous four gigs of ram in a phone they're getting a large 3300 milliamp hour battery supposedly is going to last for days and days you're getting a fingerprint sensor I admit seems a little weird to have without NFC for android pay you're getting dual 7 something really kind of new in the new at in the u.s. you're getting almost stock naked Android with promise update your getting a camera that could do 4k you're getting a lot for a little bit of money so let me stop just real fast first to say hi how are you friend and to tell you there are a few things that that I really don't like I'm a fruit snacks don't have any grape ones in them and having to go the store to buy razors I don't like to shave fortunately Harry's cut out the middleman for have and go to the store and buy razors their starter kit is just 15 bucks that includes an awesome razor three blades of your choice Harry shave cream or foaming gel whichever one you choose on I'm a shaving cream man but personal preference as an added bonus you also get five dollars off your first order when you use my code which is techno after using that code you get in tires month words of shaving for just ten bucks you're getting high-quality razors at a really low price and shipping is always going to be free so boom shave your face McLaren caveman if you focus on what's missing you're probably never gonna be happy with the device is always something it's going to be missing well I admit the NFC is a large omission for that price point you're still getting one of the best values in mobile that I think is a hard thing to find nowadays you've got things like Moto's offerings a new Moto G and moto x but for under 400 bucks you're getting a phone that can easily last two-plus years which is hard to find you're getting the LTE connectivity for gigs of RAM is going to be really future proof I don't even know what you do with four dudes Aram certainly I probably would have liked to see maybe one gig of ram taken off and perhaps NFC added maybe wireless charging but that was not the case i would still jump into 1 plus 2 in fact i'm going to buy one myself the device feels premium it feels great in the hand the capacitive sensor that uses a house a home button and the fingerprint sensor works very well it's a really good device I've seen it I've used it dhola NSE necessarily deter you if mobile payment is when you're big reasons for wanting to buy an android phone then yeah that's a reason not to get it something you think you might use or might not use I'd really look at if you can find something else for that price point isn't it equal value for you can have a really hard time doing it but that's just one dudes opinion you know if you guys just agree if you think having NFC is a big deal i'd love to hear why i leave in the comments down below perhaps a function 1 plus we'll watch this video and maybe look at your comment seriously and use them as they make the one plus three for next year and I think you guys for watching hope you enjoy until next time John render from TechnoBuffalo I'll see you guys next one
