The One Plus 2 finally goes official. #OnePlus2 #Tech #Mobile

In the early hours of the morning the much awaited One Plus 2 was unveiled with an exclusive VR launch or you could have used the One Plus launch app..

The OnePlus 2 comes carrier-unlocked with wide range band support for service providers worldwide. And, with dual SIM capabilities, you can connect to two networks simultaneously to travel with ease. Manage your work life and personal life without the need to carry around two phones. It’s one device, for everything.This first device was also sim free and now this being dual sim offers more to customers,the first model was single sim..

The One Plus 2 comes with a Snapdragon 810 (v.2.1) 4GB ram, 64GB storage, 5.5′” display, 3300 mAh battery, FP scanner & dual SIM 4G. But something is missing for some and that is NFC….there is none..perhaps later NFC could be added with a modded cover ??

The OnePlus 2’s laser autofocus system locks in a touch-free and precise focus in under 0.2 seconds. When you prepare to take a picture, lasers automatically scan the scene, finding the ideal focus point. Never miss that perfect shot or let blurriness ruin a perfect moment.The sensor contains large 1.3µm light-collecting pixels—the biggest ever in a 13MP smartphone camera—for unmatched low-light performance. A six-element lens prevents distortion, making sure that photos are clear and crisp. Day or night, make every shot beautiful.The OnePlus 2’s camera app is simple to use but packed with power features, allowing you to fine-tune settings and capture stunning 4K video, slow-motion video, time lapses.

The One Plus will be priced at $329 (€339) for 16GB and $389 (€399) for 64GB variant  and again we have an invite system to get the device,this may annoy some but One Plus say they have more stock this time around so the wait should not be what some users experienced on the first version..The One Plus 2 also comes with style swap covers which gives user more customization this time around too with a removable back cover.Do we have a flagship killer again this year ?? It looks go and we will report soon when we get ours… See more over at OnePlus.. or check out the video below from the you tube master Marques Brownlee.
