48 Hours with the OnePlus 2!

2015-08-13
is the one person worth it deep at the 1+2 has one of the better cameras out there how good has your battery life been on the phone plus two what's good guys Jonathan here and this is the oneplus 2 389 unlocked with a 5.5 inch 1080p display snapdragon 810 processor four gigs of ram and a 13 megapixel camera running oxygen OS which is built off android 5.1 now as awesome as all that may sound there still seems to be one giant looming question surrounding the oneplus 2 hey Jonathan do you think that there being no NFC makes the oneplus 2 less fulfilling in its title of the flagship killer yes and no on one hand with Apple pay being so widely used and adopted and then a revamp version of Android pay coming out later this year the ability or in this case the lack thereof might make the oneplus 2 less desirable on the other hand though some people don't ever take advantage of NFC so that's not something you think you need I don't think that alone is a deal-breaker for the oneplus 2 I'm interested to know what the in-hand feel is as far as the balance when you're holding it with one hand honestly for me the ideal phone size anywhere between 4.7 and 5.1 inches that's the sweet spot for one-hand ability so it's a little big on the oneplus 2 it's not terrible or unusable and you will get by using it with one hand it's just not the ideal experience the sandstone back on the other hand does provide a nice grippy feel which in this case is really helpful for a phone to size now as far as the actual user experience goes so far it's been really smooth and I really dig the customization of oxygen OS for example if you wanted to you can enable sophomore navigation so everything will be controlled on the screen and then from there the home button turns into just a fingerprint sensor I also really love the ability to swap the recent apps and back button by default the backs on the left and the recent apps on the right but for me the back on the right and the Reese on the Left feels way more natural you then of course have the ability to enable gestures so you could double tap to wake drawing Oh to open the camera draw B to turn the flashlight on or off now with music swiping two fingers down will play or pause the track and then by drawing the greater-than symbol that's going to get you the next track and then the less than symbol gonna get you the previous track now by enabling dark mode that grants you access to tweak the accent color of the settings menu and you have a choice of eight different colors now another really sweet feature enabled by default is the ability to tweak audio if you're playing music or watching a video and you adjust the volume up or down you see you have quick access to a music movie or game profile but then you can also dive a little deeper and completely adjust the EQ with that said the speaker on the oneplus 2 isn't amazing it does the job but for me it's a little tinny sounding I was wondering how does the screen to him bright light like how bright and dark does the screen get it's not amazing but it's also not terrible and I think really that's where I would love to see a big technology leap in terms of being able to use our phones in direct sunlight but as far as regular everyday use in normal environments the screen looks fantastic some people may be turned off due to the fact that this phone is not 1440p and only 1080p but you got to remember it's under 400 bucks and even what that said for watching movies playing games and the size of the screen it's an awesome experience plus you have optical image stabilization it does and it works really well overall impressions of the camera as a whole though are solid you got a 13 megapixel sensor F 2.0 aperture of dual LED flash and laser autofocus low-light performance is better than average the autofocus is snappy and it's quick but I don't know if it's enough to outperform the galaxy s6 or the LG g4 I will they'll be doing a more in-depth comparison against both of these phones because it's clear we want to see how the oneplus 2 stacks up against the competition so if you do a fingerprint scanner on 1 + 2 versus the galaxy s6 be great so consider this a mini preview against the galaxy s6 or in this case the s6 edge definitely subscribe if you don't want to miss the full comparison but honestly I feel like 2015 fingerprint sensors are smooth and they really just work well touching real quickly on the s6 and the s6 edge the fingerprint reader on this versus the s5 is infinitely better and then on the other hand the oneplus 2 that has also been a really enjoyable quick snappy experience setup really didn't take too long I was up and running pretty quickly and then more importantly it was really accurate I really wouldn't say that one was drastically better than the other but in this case I think both have solid fingerprint readers how much time does it take for the oneplus suit to charge up to like 50% or more so as far as the battery goes I got the oneplus 2 down to around 25% plugged it in at 1205 using the standard oneplus charger and then from there took about an hour to get it up to 94% now this might be another turnoff for some of you guys with the oneplus 2 not having any quick charge technology again that's definitely a bummer and I would have loved to see something like this implemented in the oneplus 2 but just like NFC I don't feel it's enough of a deal-breaker to not go for the oneplus 2 especially for the price aside from that though that wraps up my first 48 hours with the oneplus 2 I will most likely do a one month later update because there's things I want to dive into like USBC but if you enjoyed the video make sure to go mexican mom with a chocolate on that like button and I will see you guys later got um I was wondering if you think my dog would like the oneplus truth
