Thanks for the reply. I have the 6 plus so think the screen size is similar.

I take a lot of pics of the little one which always look great. Just don't want to lose that feature.

Going to cancel my personal contract and change to Ready to go, as work are now paying for phone bill (unlimited everything) so it's great to have the ability to keep my own nunber and be able to use both work and personal numbers in the one phone. Can I set that calls are made my work number and data usage comes from work nunber?

Yes you can set a default sim for Calls/SMS and a default for Data.
With Calls you can set it to ask which sim to call from every time also.

What would be similar alternatives that people look at when they are looking at buying a OPT?

That also have Dual Sim?

OnePlus X
Asus Zenfone 2
Xiaomi Redmi 3 and Note 3
Huawei P8
Huawei Honor 6
Meizu m2

These all have dual sim, the most similar speced one is probably the Zenfone.

The S7 would be much higher priced, plus would not be dual sim in this market.

Would be no harm if a few could post some pics they've taken.

Download Camera FV-5 and the OP2 takes great pictures.

OP say that this "a flagship killer" I know that it doesn't compete with the likes of the s7 etc but what flagships in your onion does it compete with and beat?

Would it be better than the iPhone 6 Plus I have at the momleast not. I know it's a different OS. Would be interested hearing from someon who has come from iPhone 6 Plus or 6 what the think but also anyone coming from a "flagship" phone

When the OP2 was released it was to compete with the HTC M9 and the Galaxy S6. IPhone 6s was released after but the OP2 still has favourable specs although hard to compare as IOS is a bit more streamlined due to being a closed software.

You can't really compare different ecosystems like that, they both are top of the pile in the ecosystem they run. IOS is more streamlined, it only runs on a handful of devices all made by the same manufacturer so therefore will have great performance optimised to run on much lower specs.

How long should I expect to wait if I paid for priority shipping? Ordered the 19th and according to DHL it's been sitting in Poland since Monday the 22nd...

eh i dunno

Keeping mine company in Poland. And I didn't pay for priority shipping

I ordered mine on the 22nd at around 6pm, and received at about 1 on the 25th.

I didn't pay for priority shipping. I upgraded from an iPhone 5, and all I can say is that this phone is incredible in every aspect. No regrets and it cost €305.

That makes no sense then. I was told 3 - 5 working days.

Lads, anyone have trouble with detecting sim cards? Mine stopped detecting my card properly last night and briefly worked again, now it refuses to work after reboots, reseats and now a reset.

I'm with 3 if it makes a difference. I even used a piece of paper on top of sim to make sure it was a tight fit on slot and no joy.

I just got a new sim from 3 and have both sims in now and it detects neither (I still have to activate the new sim, but I presume it would at least detect it in the slot, or would that be a false presumption?).

Anyone got any tips? Thanks

Jayop

Never had that sorry.


Did anyone else get a thing over the weekend about trusted places? I don't need to do fingerprint or anything within 60m of my house.

Jayop

Also ordered another on Friday and it's been dispatched just now. In Heathrow.

It's a feature of lollipop (and marshmallow, I guess). Can also do trusted Bluetooth devices, trusted voice and on body detection.

yeah i've my car set as a trusted device so doesn't lock while in it. was going to set my watch was one as it has bluetooth as well, but worried it would be unlocked in my pocket and i'd start calling by accident

I've a full cover so I don't see that being any issue.

Has anyone got a code for the discount? My iPhone has finally given up, so I think I'll make the switch to android!

Hi Guys,

So my Nexus 5 has bitten the dust and now I'm looking for One Plus 2. I have a couple of questions.

Firstly, is this still the best phone going at around the €300-350 price range?

Anyone know a good play to get decent priced USB Type-C chargers / cable? I like to have a few extra for work etc. I found that some micro usb sockets/cables were terrible and slow for charging.

Finally, I'm looking for a €40 off code if anyone can help me out, I've posted in the OP forums and got nothing yet.

Any other advice warnings would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Julez

You can grab the cables on Amazon for about a fiver. Be careful though because I bought one and it's got the small TypeC on both ends.

Straight Edge Punk

I got a cable off amazon for about €5, does the job perfectly.

Blacktie.

I got little connectors to add to the end of a mini USB for about 1 euro off ebay. Bought 5 of them. Handy when in a friends house or something because everyone has mini usb
