Basing on the specs sheet alone, the OnePlus 2 caught up with most of what other top-tier smartphones have and even had a couple of better components like RAM and battery capacity.
Although do keep in mind that it’s not all about the technical specifications and only a real test in real-life usage of the device would then we be able to point out the advantages and disadvantages of each.

z3 plus has only 6.9mm dimension, not 10.1. Also it does not weigh 162grams. It is thinner lighter faster than its predecessor. It has the most premium build among smarphones today.
more than 3 hours to charge OP2. no thanks! i’d rather go with G4 that has expandable memory and replaceable battery

Where to get 1plus 2?
Half the price of flagship phones.
On par with flagshipspecs

DDR4.oh yeah
TYPE-C.- the start of the end of microusb.
Give it a year it can still compete with phones near its price range.
Just like how the OnePlusOne is right now.
OP2 has the biggest RAM’s & cheapest price also. :) so nice to hear they compete with high end devices for such a lower price.
That’s the OnePlus One you’re still showing up there though.
The difference is half the price,I would rather settle to 1+2 taking into consideration its disadvantages.
it is a huge saving that is nothing to sneeze at if you are not into NFC and the rest of its wanting specs, they are just acquired taste.
nag sacrifice din sila sa quick charging para lang bumaba ang price
Yung s6 duos ba ay sa Pilipinas lang available? Sana lang available sa Pinas ang One Plus 2 kahit through an invite system
