BCJDM just buy the moto x, the only thing this has over the x is alert slider and fingerprint sensor. Moto x has quick charge, nfc, dual speakers, expandable storage, and is around the same price. Moto X works on any US carrier too
KoopaMeista For the same price with OP2 you get much faster processor, more RAM, 64GB of internal storage instead of 16GB (8GB free), fingerprint scanner. Quick charge is missing but it's not very good for your battery and OP2 charges pretty quickly to 80-90% (lat 20% are the slowest). NFC is pretty much pointless these days, noone's using it.
So let me get this straight, they included a USB-C connection but it's really a USB-2 when it comes to data and charging. No quick charge, and all your old Micro USB cables won't work with it anymore. What a fail OnePlus, there is more to life than reversibility.
Mateo Garza MTZ. Literally only so they can say "We were the first to have it" even though it will be a huge inconvenience and will not worth it in the end.
Mateo Garza MTZ. look. the thing you have to remember about USB standards is this: a number after the USB is the SPEED of data transfer e.g usb 2.0, 3.0, 3.1. If it's a letter/word then the shape changes USB A, USB B, USB C, Mini USB, Micro USB. I guess you are on about the data speed when you said "why have a USB TYPE-C if you aren't going to take advantage of it !" ???
Philip Harris there's more to it than that. No quickcharge support, nothing faster than USB 2.0, no alternate mode (so no MHL or DisplayPort Alt.), I think the power adapter is 2A while Type C supports 3A. It's quite litterally just a new shape that takes no advantage of the USB Type C specification.
OhcTurboSierra I think in videos all the displays look pretty dull, unless you actually take time to calibrate and set up your camera. And the display of the OP2 is said to be more saturated and brighter than the OPO's. So yeah, wait till you get your hands on it IMO !
How does the phone handles the change of notifications settings if I change to all from the alert slider and then change to none from the software side? Is it kind of messy? Or they have disabled that toggling in the OS?
I'm a bit confused can someone help me? So will this phone be sold by carriers like Sprint and Verizon? And what is an "invite?" Because many people online are saying they want an "invite" for the oneplus 2. Thank you..
The dual sim is a huge advantage in Saudi Arabia.. It costs so freaking cheap to have one sim only for 3G~4G and the other for calls and SMS I mean if I want a SIM with both I will have to at least pay 50USD monthly up to 100USD... But if I want to get a sim for only 3G or 4G it only costs 5USD for 2GB and 20ish USD for 10GB... As for me "a studednt" it is so much help to have 2 sims rather than one ^.^
This looks like a device they should've released alongside the OPO. Like hey if you want pay an extra $50 for a fingerprint scanner and a notification toggle. This is certainly not a follow up device.
I had Oneplus One and when I installed Oxygen OS into it. There was no Gallery app. . Does this Oneplus 2 have any Gallery app? . will Oneplus 1 will get Oxygen OS update?
In my country(philippines) Oneplus 2 is priced around $489 for the 16gb version. But in the US it's $329 only. Im actually excited to get one but i'll pass.
Good review, as usual, Josh. I'm a fan of AA, and I enjoy you, and all your colleagues reviews. However, I am going quietly insane, listening to the dreadful background muzak. I find it distracting, and absolutely "surplus to requirements". I strain to make out the melody, and miss what you just said! Please dump it. :-)
sic22l trusted devices, google wallet, upcoming android pay, NFC multipurpose tags, beaming, etc. People actually do use NFC, and a fingerprint sensor without NFC will basically take away half of the usefulness of a fingerprint sensor when Android M comes out. So much for being future-proof.
Joseph Griffin Shoot me a video of you actually using "Google wallet", and Android Pay in a few months, and then any of us will give a shit about your justification.
Frawtarius shoot me a video about you or anyone you know using dual-sim and then I'll give a shit about the inclusion of dual-sim over SD cards or NFC...Actually, I won't, since even then the lack of SD cards and NFC aren't worth it. I also find it funny that you don't want video examples of beaming, NFC tags, or trusted devices. Scared to find the truth?
I think it would've been better if they called the port something that better reflects the reality. It's not technically USB-C but it's still slightly better than micro-USB v2.0. And people, stop pissing on about that already. It's getting annoying.
+Flash Gam'en I was going to get the Moto X till I felt it in the hand, it feels abit cheaper than the Oneplus 2 it reminded me of the galaxy s4 (the feel), the oneplus feels amazing!, I don't use NFC, never have hell I doubt its even available in my country, the 810 has never overheated, the battery on the oneplus is very good after the update. Probably the best phone I have ever had the only thing missing is quick charging though ffs!!!
Hey Android Authority please make video about LG Spirit 4g, LG L Fino, LG Leon 4G LTE. I wont to see a professional`s opinion and review. Because I have to choose on of them!
I hated the UI , they used washed black color in the menu ,looks like those cheap lcd that cannot reproduce black tone ,the resolution is used badly,instead its used to increase PPI and have nice clear big icones or widget, it is used to have a wider view and more tiny icones and widget ,with the same display if it are using a 3" screen. The colors looks So So ( prefered english term used by chinese to say shitty).
I'm i the only one who noticed that the alert slider is kinda useless? i can manage the notifications in the settings no problem..i'm not that lazy to do it.... I can sacrifice with this alert slider to get at least the fast charging or wireless charging..even the three years old Nexus 4 had wireless charging. i'm just saying tho.
LOL you registered your finger sideways and now you expect to just tap a bit and be responsibe? marques brownlee did it properly and he barely touches it...
Anyone asking for invite needs to understand that they've basically begging to be allowed to give their money to buy a phone. There are plenty of devices, upcoming ones as well, that don't make you jump through hoops to get 'em. #NeverSettleForBullshitMarketing
I agree that the invite system is annoying but I'm not sure that it's entirely a marketing ploy. The worst thing a small company like Oneplus can do is burn through too much cash on unused inventory. Now I don't know why they don't just a pre-order system (it may be a combination of marketing ploy and trying to deal with the pitfalls of having limited capital in an innovative way)
sic22l True, but you're still wrong. Type C doesn't describe shape only. I've already explained why in other comments addressed at you, so go read up on the subject.
please do a comparison with this and the new Moto X
BCJDM I agree, it would be nice to see a battle vs the Moto X pure edition, it seems to be better than the oneplus 2 in my opinion.
+Hector Rodriguez Vega it still hasn't been released tho the moto g 2015 has.
Mike Manzi Until september, the wait will be worth though.
BCJDM just buy the moto x, the only thing this has over the x is alert slider and fingerprint sensor. Moto x has quick charge, nfc, dual speakers, expandable storage, and is around the same price. Moto X works on any US carrier too

Wow video quality 1080p60 is amazing. What camera did you film with?
So let me get this straight, they included a USB-C connection but it's really a USB-2 when it comes to data and charging. No quick charge, and all your old Micro USB cables won't work with it anymore. What a fail OnePlus, there is more to life than reversibility.
James Russo well in an year on two most of phones will have USB-c why not have the title "first phone with USB-C"
***** Well it's not the first phone with USB-C. It's a definite fail with the OnePlus 2 since it's still USB 2.0 when it should've been at least 3.0
***** Yeah that's my point, why include the connector if the technology isn't actually there.
***** Because without the actual benefits of the new standard it's a pointless nothing gesture that actually inconveniences customers for no reason.
James Russo It's USB-C connector, that's it. It has nothing to do with data transfer. A number after the USB is the speed, a letter is the shape.
why have a USB TYPE-C if you aren't going to take advantage of it !
Mateo Garza MTZ. Literally only so they can say "We were the first to have it" even though it will be a huge inconvenience and will not worth it in the end.
because my micro USB port broke, and the port of a friend too, so im glad that they used USB type c
Mateo Garza MTZ. look. the thing you have to remember about USB standards is this: a number after the USB is the SPEED of data transfer e.g usb 2.0, 3.0, 3.1. If it's a letter/word then the shape changes USB A, USB B, USB C, Mini USB, Micro USB.
I guess you are on about the data speed when you said "why have a USB TYPE-C if you aren't going to take advantage of it !" ???
basically a useless gimmick that serves no real purpose
Philip Harris there's more to it than that. No quickcharge support, nothing faster than USB 2.0, no alternate mode (so no MHL or DisplayPort Alt.), I think the power adapter is 2A while Type C supports 3A. It's quite litterally just a new shape that takes no advantage of the USB Type C specification.
Is it just me or do the screen colors actually look very dull with the stock wallpaper? Its the same thing on every video about the OP2.
Yeah the colors are washed out, its not a very good screen. But no review has mentioned that yet.
OhcTurboSierra I think in videos all the displays look pretty dull, unless you actually take time to calibrate and set up your camera. And the display of the OP2 is said to be more saturated and brighter than the OPO's. So yeah, wait till you get your hands on it IMO !
When's the review coming?
Which screen protector are you using on the One plus Two?
How does the phone handles the change of notifications settings if I change to all from the alert slider and then change to none from the software side? Is it kind of messy? Or they have disabled that toggling in the OS?
have you tried it with the samsung quick charging brick?
nice video. tip : put some window shades or something because the intro was overexposed.
Hey there, is the one plus two's both sim lte capable?
I'm a bit confused can someone help me? So will this phone be sold by carriers like Sprint and Verizon? And what is an "invite?" Because many people online are saying they want an "invite" for the oneplus 2. Thank you..
Hi could you please advise which phone to buy out OPO OP2 and OPX
Any idea which theme is he using in the video?
does selecting no notification on the alert slider affect the battery life?
Shelf feature in Oneplus two is inspired from Aviate Launcher.
Does USB type c mean standard USB flash drives will work on the oneplus two?
Can I use both sim at the same time (keep them both active simultaneously)? So I receive incoming messages and phone calls from both? Thanks.
loving the 60fps!!
Dude did you shoots this in 60p???
what pc port it uses
does it have FM radio?
I like dark menus, like it was till 4.4
Nice! that is coming back :)
Is there an led notification light on this phone? Not a deal breaker at all, I've just realised I haven't seen anything about one.
give some reviews about the screen please
The dual sim is a huge advantage in Saudi Arabia.. It costs so freaking cheap to have one sim only for 3G~4G and the other for calls and SMS
I mean if I want a SIM with both I will have to at least pay 50USD monthly up to 100USD...

As for me "a studednt" it is so much help to have 2 sims rather than one ^.^
No Quick Charge 2.0 is a deal breaker for me...
How do you record your videos at 60fps and why don't your video look slower than at 30fps??
This looks like a device they should've released alongside the OPO. Like hey if you want pay an extra $50 for a fingerprint scanner and a notification toggle. This is certainly not a follow up device.
DID I HEAR AN IPHONE NOTIFICATION AT 0:31 ON A VIDEO BY ANDROID AUTHORITY?!
Do one of these videos for the Moto X Style
i see that witcher 3 wallpaper in the background. great game
is that a witcher 3 background I see :D
what?! nexus 6p charges is 90 minutes when it is off and it is fast charge so...
When is Oneplus Two coming to Malaysia??I want it...desperately..
I'm only going to buy the OnePlus 2 because I want to upgrade from my iPhone 5 which I've owned as my main go to device for around 2-3 years
Does this phone have all t-mobile bands unlike the first one?
Dual SIM is great, 1 sim from work which I can use for calling and data. And 1 sim of my own with cheapest plan possible only to receive calls.
how customizable is this phone
AverageLibrarian Studios Not nearly as much as the OnePlus One with CyanogenMod.
OK so they can put dual sim which is a fairly uncommon feature but they can't put a micro SD slot...
Jay X they can. but they wont.
Jay X or NFC, which I'm sure more people in the west use NFC than they do dual sim configs.
Joseph Griffin Only people from poor ass countries use dual sim.
Good to know, Josh is a hardcore gamer.... Which gpu gpu company do you choose for gaming.....(I bet nvidia, as it supports android gaming more)
I had Oneplus One and when I installed Oxygen OS into it.
There was no Gallery app.
.
Does this Oneplus 2 have any Gallery app?
.
will Oneplus 1 will get Oxygen OS update?
Mickey Massey Download Google Photos then or any gallery app of your choice.
In my country(philippines) Oneplus 2 is priced around $489 for the 16gb version. But in the US it's $329 only.
Im actually excited to get one but i'll pass.
3:39 voicemail icon looks like you know what
Is it just me or was the colour temperature of this video kinda cool?
I noticed it too...
xXxLoyaltyxXx1 Thanks. Watched it on a computer but anyway thanks for your input. I've never actually seen a Kyocera before.
I think the Shelf LOOKS FREAKING AMAZING if anyone knows how to recreate that please let me know cause i really want to make that my main home screen!
Good review, as usual, Josh. I'm a fan of AA, and I enjoy you, and all your colleagues reviews. However, I am going quietly insane, listening to the dreadful background muzak. I find it distracting, and absolutely "surplus to requirements". I strain to make out the melody, and miss what you just said! Please dump it. :-)
Nobody talks about audio features :(
Why can't you name the sim cards in the settings? "CARD 1" and "CARD 2"?! Really? It can't be that difficult to add 2 label variables
Is it any better than the Moto x style
moto x style or 1+2?
OnePlus 💛
i love the 60fps !! :D
nice explanation,thank you.
Support micro sd?
CaTv Nope.
Half Hour Happy Hour podcast :)
can anyone please tell me if OPT has always on ok google (without charging) ?? please i need to know fast
Barbell Brigade!
Lack of NFC could be solved with some app and smartwatch that has NFC and wireless charging with DBPOWER Universal QI Wireless Charging Receiver
***** Noone's using NFC, I don't know why people are so frustrated about it.
sic22l trusted devices, google wallet, upcoming android pay, NFC multipurpose tags, beaming, etc. People actually do use NFC, and a fingerprint sensor without NFC will basically take away half of the usefulness of a fingerprint sensor when Android M comes out. So much for being future-proof.

Can you give me the download link of OxygenOS for OnePlus 2 ?
I shipped a device from China, but it's with HydrogenOS.
I'm used to my phone taking up to 3 hours to charge so I have no problem with no quickcharge. (currently using my dying sgs3)
I really like 1080p60fps.
just add the damn quick charging!
my oneplus2 not rear camera taking focus any solution
i spot a Barbell Brigade shirt LOL
They should call it the OneMinus 1.5 instead.
How to record screen on oneplus 2 oxygen os 3.6.1
Josh @7:30 ? my life
how can u say it charges in 90 min when oneplus said 3h+? ...
Oneplus didn't say 3h
defToZzz He tested it.
Moto x hit the ball out of the park this time. I don't think the 1+2 is worth it while the Moto x is only 20 more U.S. Dollars.
It's a matter of personal preference.
Guess so.
OP2 > Moto X
+Flash Gam'en I was going to get the Moto X till I felt it in the hand, it feels abit cheaper than the Oneplus 2 it reminded me of the galaxy s4 (the feel), the oneplus feels amazing!, I don't use NFC, never have hell I doubt its even available in my country, the 810 has never overheated, the battery on the oneplus is very good after the update. Probably the best phone I have ever had
the only thing missing is quick charging though ffs!!!
batangas net?????? philippines????
I've been really a fan of one plus.
And this phone is a must upgrade frome one plus one and I don't mind the lack of nfc
Hey Android Authority please make video about LG Spirit 4g, LG L Fino, LG Leon 4G LTE. I wont to see a professional`s opinion and review. Because I have to choose on of them!
Stop milking views by uploading random videos on oneplus two.. Just upload a review and move on to the next one!!
Android Authority my waiting list num is under 6k....but didn't get invite...anybody got yours?(india)
I dont own a Oneplus, but would i be stupid if i'd buy the Two over the One, only because the camera?
wait...You keep your glasses on while you're laying side ways in your bed!?
Quinten TheEnergeticGamer Yeah..... so that he could see......... was that a serious question?....
+MRfisheri Well I wear glasses and I freaking hate it to do that so yeah it was a serious question
I wear glasses too. I do it all the time whilst reading a book or fiddling with my phone.
please dont film in over 24fps... looks really strange without natural motion blurs
Please Josh. Stay away from 60p.
It overheats
FIEX It doesn't.
sic22l That's cause of thermal throttling.
+TheMusketITuckedIt it overheats because of thermal throttling? Thermal throttling is there so it doesn't overheat. That makes 0 sense.
TheMusketITuckedIt There's basically no thermal throttling at all.
Megamannnn
one plus 2 or moto x style
Moto x style or play I would go for
VisualGamerBF No, Play is under OP2, but Style... That's a go! :)
OP2 > Moto X The Overall Design of the Moto X looks like a fake Samung Galaxy Device
anagha shinde onscreen buttons makes me dislike the moto X so i say op2
Alex Lup go for style then better customer services and no invite system
One plus is life
I hated the UI , they used washed black color in the menu ,looks like those cheap lcd that cannot reproduce black tone ,the resolution is used badly,instead its used to increase PPI and have nice clear big icones or widget, it is used to have a wider view and more tiny icones and widget ,with the same display if it are using a 3" screen.

good phone but heating issue....

Mustapha Benalouane 2nd biggest gimmicky feature on the phone after the fingerprint reader.
Hope I Win the contest cuz i really want that phone
The Witcher III wallpaper! Polska kurwa!
Can we switch off one sim while we have both inserted into the phone?
^This helps to save a lot of unnecessary battery usage.
#ExperiencedDualsimUser
Yes, you can disable individual sim's as and when you want to use them.

invite system lets this phone be so cheap
+Morrov PL Can you explain how the invite system is superior to a standard pre order system?
mikecantreed never said it was, I just said that this is how they can sell them so cheap and still make money
Morrov PL Right. I'm just asking what is it about the invite system that allows them to cut additional costs beyond a standard pre-order system.
It has fake usb type c, its pure marketing, the true is: its an usb 2.0 thats reversible.
Miguel Ferreira No, it has USB Type-C. Letter describes the shape only, nothing else.
sic22l uh, no.
Joseph Griffin Yes. Data transfer is coded by numbers. There can be Type-C with USB 2.0 and Type-B (micro) USB 3.1.
sic22l True, but you're still wrong. Type C doesn't describe shape only. I've already explained why in other comments addressed at you, so go read up on the subject.
