Design and display
In terms of design, the OnePlus 2 looks a lot like its predecessor, but with enough tweaks to keep things fresh. The highlight of the device is still the Sandstone Black finish on the rear, which people either love or hate, and we firmly belong to the latter camp. But that's purely a matter of taste, and if you loved the One in terms of design, you will find the OnePlus 2 right up your alley.
The OnePlus 2 comes with a 5.5-inch full-HD display that offers good viewing angles if perhaps the brightest display we've come across. OnePlus has played really safe with the colour gamut, and the colours have a natural, almost washed-out look. We prefer this to oversaturated panels seen on some other smartphones, but some may consider it to be a bit too dull for their taste.
The OnePlus 2 rocks a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC with 4GB of RAM, and as you would expect, it handled all everyday tasks without trouble. Multitasking and switching between apps was smooth, and we did not experience any kind of lag at any point. Games like Asphalt 8 ran without any problem, though we noticed that the phone became considerably hot during one of our gaming sessions that lasted for about 20 minutes.
