Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 This is the OnePlus 2. The £239 / £289 '2016 flagship killer' (we'll be the judge of that) has now arrived in the MoDaCo office and we'll be putting it through it's paces ahead of a full review in Android Magazine and on Little Green Robot (as well as some special features on MoDaCo), but now is your chance to ask any questions you have now we have the device in hand. How's the fingerprint reader? Does the standstone finish feel nice? Is it huge? How is OxygenOS?I know you've got questions. Fire away!

Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 What's it missing? ie. What's the catch?No NFC I guess and 'only' a FHD screen (not that it matters). How good the Snapdragon 810 is remains to be seen of course, but there's no glaring issues imho.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest injectx Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 How does the priority switch feel? Is it as easy to handle as the iPhone mute switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 How does the priority switch feel? Is it as easy to handle as the iPhone mute switch?Really nice! It's switches top to bottom in 3 positions rather than front to back (which is how the iPhone does it IIRC?) but it feels great.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ianbennett Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Is the fingerprint reader also the home button? If so, is it 'clicky' (a la Samsung) or capacitive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Is the fingerprint reader also the home button? If so, is it 'clicky' (a la Samsung) or capacitive? It is the home button yes, but no it's not clicky. Interestingly, you can just rest your finger on it to wake the device straight from sleep.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cros13 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Are there capacitive touch buttons either side of the home?Are they hard coded to back & menu or can they have another purpose?Are there any programmable combinations of home button taps beyond the double tap?

Guest Neil Gilroy Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Your thoughts on the speaker volume and quality would be good! How does it compare to other modern devices? I like to listen to podcasts via speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks! What are your first thoughts on the camera?I've literally just snapped a few pics and it seems pretty quick and nice, maybe not quite as fast as my G4. HDR seems to be a manual selection rather than automatic which is a bit odd.I should point out i'm about to OTA to a new release...P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 The OP2 is better in a number of ways, camera particularly, but the M9 has some things the OP2 doesn't too - NFC, fast charging...P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelipost Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 what networks can I use it on - i am on orange - rebranded but not I think quite the same as EE. Does it come with a plug or do I have to plug the usb-c into something else to charge it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 All UK networks are supported. It comes with a plug.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dmac2007 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hey Paul,I'm still unsure about the 5.5 screen for me. It's the only thing. I had 4.7" M7 and 5" M8. Any chance you can do a comparison photo with a few 5" devices (side by side)? Just to get a feel.Is OxygenOS like CM? Which do you prefer?Thanks,Darren.
